For All Mankind, the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ sci-fi drama, has captivated audiences with its alternate history of the space race, where the Soviet Union landed on the Moon first, sparking a never-ending competition in space exploration. With Season 4 concluding in January 2024, fans are eagerly awaiting updates on Season 5. Is For All Mankind Season 5 happening? Here’s everything we know so far.

For All Mankind Season 5: Confirmed and In Production

Yes, For All Mankind Season 5 is officially happening! Apple TV+ announced the renewal in April 2024, alongside a new spinoff series titled Star City, which will focus on the Soviet space program from behind the Iron Curtain. Filming for Season 5 began in July 2024, with reports indicating that production wrapped by mid-December 2024.

Release Date Speculation: When Will Season 5 Premiere?

While Apple TV+ has not announced an official release date for For All Mankind Season 5, we can estimate based on the show’s production history. Historically, the series has followed a 15–18-month gap between seasons.

Given that filming for Season 5 began in July 2024 and reportedly wrapped by late 2024, a late 2025 release—potentially November or December—is likely. However, some sources speculate a mid-2025 release (July or August) if post-production is expedited. A May 2025 premiere seems optimistic but less probable due to the show’s heavy reliance on CGI and post-production work. On the other hand, a recent Apple TV+ sizzle reel omitted For All Mankind Season 5, leading some to speculate a potential delay to 2026.
