The Apple TV series has been renewed for one more season ahead of the season 5 premiere.

For All Mankind starts streaming again this week, with its fifth season set to premiere on March 27th. But Apple is also taking this moment to clarify the show’s future — it’s been renewed for a sixth season, which will also be its last.

For All Mankind premiered in 2019 as part of Apple TV’s initial launch lineup, and the alternate history sci-fi show imagines what would happen if the Soviet Union landed the first crewed mission on the moon, thus setting off a very different space race. While the story began in 1969, each season jumps ahead several years, and when season 5 kicks off it’ll be set in the 2010s on a Mars base called Happy Valley. Here’s the official logline:

Happy Valley has grown into a thriving colony with thousands of residents and a base for new missions that will take us even further into the solar system. But with the nations of Earth now demanding law and order on the Red Planet, friction continues to build between the people who live on Mars and their former home.

While the main For All Mankind story will end with season 6, the story is expanding with a spinoff. A new series called Star City will premiere on May 29th — the same day that season 5 wraps up — telling the story from the Soviet point of view.

Apple TV details its 2026 streaming lineup with big list of announcements

For All Mankind helped kick off what turned out to be a fruitful few years for sci-fi shows on Apple TV, something that looks to continue with returning series like Pluribus, Silo, Murderbot, and Sugar, as well as new shows including an adaptation of William Gibson’s Neuromancer.

The news also comes at a time when Apple TV is undergoing a number of changes in an attempt to reach a bigger audience, which included a rebrand last year and continued forays into live sports like Formula 1. Back in February, Apple detailed a big list of new streaming projects coming to the service this year.
