Truly one of the most dynamic and fascinating aspects of the For All Mankind franchise on Apple TV, is the sheer fact that the Soviet Union landed on the moon, first. Because that remains a brilliant twist. One that set in motion six seasons of storytelling that often leaves us wondering\u2026 how such a surprise occurred. Because despite the Soviet push to get to the moon, our history reminds us that NASA\u2019s plans were always one step ahead and it\u2019s wild to think that could have happened. Which makes the show a true delight, and it\u2019s why the spin off, Star City, is one we are all looking forward to.

\nBecause that\u2019s the story that will inform us, what changed in that alternate timeline. What it was that pushed the USSR to do something bold and find a way to put America in the passenger seat of the vaunted space race, and well, after weeks of samples and wondering\u2026 Apple TV offered up its best look to date at this story. For earlier, the trailer for Star City arrived and we are happy to share it with you now. So, we can properly prepare to discover how America lost one of its greatest achievements in a universe not too far off from our own.<\/p>\n
\u2018Today, Apple TV debuted the gripping trailer for “Star City,” the highly anticipated new space race drama that expands the world of “For All Mankind,” from award-winning creators Ben Nedivi, Matt Wolpert and Ronald D. Moore. The bold,\u00a0eight-episode alt-history series will debut globally on Apple TV with two episodes on Friday, May 29, followed by one new episode every Friday through July 10.
“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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
