Apple TV has dropped the official trailer for Star City, its upcoming alt-history space race drama spinoff of For All Mankind.
From creators Ben Nedivi, Matt Wolpert and Ronald D. Moore, Star City tells the alternative history telling of the space race from the Soviet Union perspective.
Per the logline, 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 humankind forward.
Rhys Ifans stars along with Anna Maxwell Martin, Agnes O’Casey, Alice Englert, Solly McLeod, Adam Nagaitis, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, Josef Davies and Priya Kansara.
Wolpert and Nedivi serve as showrunners and executive produce alongside Moore and Maril Davis of Tall Ship Productions, as well as Andrew Chambliss and Steve Oster. Star City is produced for Apple TV by Sony Pictures Television.
The eight-episode series premieres globally on Apple TV with two episodes on Friday, May 29, followed by one new episode every Friday through July 10.
