For All Mankind Season 5 Trailer has finally been released, and the wait for fans of Apple TV’s chart-topping science fiction series is almost over. Apple has shared the first official trailer for the highly anticipated new season, confirming that the acclaimed alternate-history drama is ready to return with bigger stakes, deeper conflicts, and a future shaped on Mars.
The series, available on Apple TV, has long been praised by critics for its ambitious storytelling and bold reimagining of space history. With Season 5, the show once again aims to push boundaries—both narratively and visually.
A Familiar Face and a Powerful Reunion
One of the most talked-about additions to the new season is Mireille Enos, who joins the cast as a member of the peacekeeping security force on Mars. This role reunites Enos with Joel Kinnaman, her former co-star from The Killing. While Enos portrays a character close to her real age, Kinnaman returns as legendary astronaut Ed Baldwin, now depicted in his 80s through extensive prosthetic makeup.
The contrast between generations reflects one of the core themes of the new season: how long-term space settlement reshapes identity, authority, and legacy.
Release Date and Episode Schedule
Season 5 consists of 10 episodes and is once again created by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi. The season will premiere on Friday, March 27, exclusively on Apple TV, with new episodes released weekly until May 29.
This weekly release model allows the show’s complex political and social themes to unfold gradually, keeping discussions alive throughout the spring.
What Season 5 Is About
For All Mankind Season 5 Trailer reveals that the story now jumps to the 2010s, following the dramatic events of the Goldilocks asteroid heist. At the center of the narrative is Happy Valley, a thriving Mars colony that has grown into a permanent settlement housing thousands of people.
As Mars becomes a launch point for missions deeper into the Solar System, Earth’s governments begin demanding legal authority and control over the Red Planet. This sparks rising political tension and social unrest, turning the relationship between Mars and Earth into an open power struggle.
A New Generation on Mars
The story takes place in 2012, introducing Ed Baldwin’s grandson, played by Sean Kaufman. Recently graduated from high school, he is uncertain about his future on Mars, mirroring the broader uncertainty felt by the colony itself. The trailer hints at growing dissatisfaction among Mars residents, who are increasingly resistant to Earth-centric rule and oversight.
This generational shift adds emotional depth to the series, showing how children born into space colonies view Earth not as home—but as a distant authority.
Returning and New Cast Members
Returning cast members include Joel Kinnaman, Toby Kebbell, Edi Gathegi, Cynthy Wu, Coral Peña, and Wrenn Schmidt. Costa Ronin has been promoted to series regular, while Mireille Enos, Sean Kaufman, Ruby Cruz, and Ines Asserson join the main cast this season.
The World of For All Mankind
At its core, For All Mankind explores an alternate history where the Soviet Union lands on the Moon before the United States. This single change radically reshapes the global space race, technological development, and political balance of power. By the 2010s, Mars has evolved into a massive human settlement—raising questions about governance, freedom, and humanity’s future beyond Earth.
With its ambitious scope and timely themes, Season 5 looks set to be one of the show’s most thought-provoking chapters yet.
