The 'Star City' spinoff of For All Mankind finally presents the Soviet perspective on the space race in a new trailer.
Star City is set to bring Cold War tension to Apple TV this May.
Apple TV has unveiled a trailer for Star City, the eagerly awaited spinoff of its critically acclaimed alternate history series For All Mankind. The show is scheduled to premiere on May 29 with two episodes, followed by a new episode every Friday until July 10.
The choice of May 29 for the release is intentional, as it coincides with the conclusion of the fifth season of For All Mankind, providing fans with an immediate follow-up.
What is Star City about, and how does it relate to For All Mankind?
For All Mankind envisions a different history where the Soviet Union lands on the moon before the United States. The original series has been delving into the subsequent consequences of this event over the decades, currently taking place in 2012 during its fifth season.
The new spinoff Star City shifts focus back to the 1970s, narrating the story from behind the Iron Curtain. The series depicts the cosmonauts, engineers, and intelligence officers instrumental in making the Soviet moon landing a reality.
The trailer is filled with Cold War anxieties, featuring covert photography, wiretapped phones, and mysterious disappearances. Showrunners Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi have clarified that this is not merely a companion to For All Mankind; it stands as its own distinct genre— a spy thriller set during the space race, devoid of time jumps.
Who is in the Star City cast and who is involved in the production?
The series was developed by Matt Wolpert, Ben Nedivi, and Ronald D. Moore, the same creators behind the successful For All Mankind.
The cast includes Rhys Ifans from House of the Dragon, Anna Maxwell Martin, Agnes O’Casey, Alice Englert, Solly McLeod, Adam Nagaitis from Chernobyl, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, Josef Davies from Andor, and Priya Kansara from Bridgerton.
Star City is produced by Sony Pictures Television for Apple TV. With the arrival of Dark Matter Season 2 and Silo Season 3 this summer, Apple TV is becoming a leading destination for sci-fi content right now.
