For All Mankind Season 5 is almost here! After the fourth season finale took us through just about every emotion imaginable while ultimately reminding us “anything is possible. Even in the darkest of times,” we’ve been looking forward to seeing what the next decade of this series has in store for us. It’s been over two years since we sobbed through Danielle Poole meeting her grandbaby for the first time after many, many years of personal sacrifice, but our long interstellar nightmare is ending—and soon. So, what can you expect? Check out everything we know, including the release date, trailer, and more.
Synopsis — what to expect
According to the press release:
“Season five of For All Mankind picks up in the 2010s, years since the Goldilocks asteroid heist. 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.”
Cast
We’ve followed many of For All Mankind‘s main characters for decades of their lives. So, who’s back for Season 5? The returning cast includes Joel Kinnaman as Ed Baldwin, Toby Kebbell as Miles Dale, Edi Gathegi as Dev Ayesa, Cynthy Wu as Kelly Baldwin, Coral Peña as Aleida Rosales, and Wrenn Schmidt as Margo Madison.
They will be joined by new series regulars Mireille Enos (The Killing, Hanna), Costa Ronin (The Americans, Homeland), Sean Kaufman (The Summer I Turned Pretty), Ruby Cruz (Bottoms), and Ines Asserson (Royalteen).
