Nothing can last forever. As it gears up to launch its fifth season, the alternate history spaceflight epic, For All Mankind, has revealed that this journey is actually the penultimate season of the entire TV series. In a press release, Apple revealed today that For All Mankind has been renewed for a sixth season, and that season will be the show’s last. This report comes just days before Season 5 launches on March 27.
“Getting to explore the For All Mankind universe over six seasons has been an amazing privilege, and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to finish the story the way we’ve always hoped,” said showrunners Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi in an official statement. Speaking to Inverse before the announcement and ahead of the Season 5 launch, Wolpert said: “Our intention was always to catch up to the present...starting in that moment of divergence in 1969 and then seeing how that would impact the world you're living in at the time you're watching that last season of the show. That’s the impact we hoped for.”
