Apple TV’s thrilling hit For All Mankind is expanding with a new exciting spinoff called Star City.
For All Mankind cocreators Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi oversee the new series, which tells a different side of the alternative-history space race.
Here’s what we know about Star City so far.
The official description of the series describes it like so: “A robust expansion of the For All Mankind universe, Star City is a propulsive, paranoid thriller that takes us back to the key moment in the alt-history retelling of the space race — when the Soviet Union became the first nation to put a man on the moon. But this time, we explore the story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers, and the intelligence officers embedded among them in the Soviet space program, and the risks they all took to propel humanity forward.”
The series will follow the same timeline as For All Mankind but will instead track the story from the perspective of the Soviet Union.

The series will premiere on Apple TV on Friday, May 29, with the first two episodes, and will release weekly until the season finale on July 10.
The cast for the new series includes Rhys Ifans as the Chief Designer of the Soviet space program, Anna Maxwell Martin as KGB surveillance head Lyudmilla Raskova, Agnes O’Casey as surveillance team member Irina Morozova (who was portrayed by Sveltana Efremova in For All Mankind), Alice Englert as Anastasia Belikova (portrayed in FAM by Rita Khrabrovitsky), Solly McLeod as reckless cosmonaut Sasha Polivanov, Adam Nagaitis as cosmonaut Valya Markelova, Josef Davies as Sergei Nikulov, and Ruby Ashbourne Serkis as Tanya Markelova.
