For All Mankind returns for Season 5 with its most ambitious leap yet, pushing its alternate-history saga into the 2010s and onto a fully realized Martian society. Premiering March 27, 2026 on Apple TV Plus, the 10-episode season rolls out weekly through May 29, setting the stage for a new era of space exploration—and conflict.
Picking up in 2012, the story continues after Season 4’s finale, where Happy Valley has evolved into a bustling colony with thousands of residents. No longer just an outpost, Mars has become a cultural and political force, serving as a launchpad for deeper missions into the solar system.
At the heart of Season 5 is a powerful ideological clash: Mars is ready to govern itself, while Earth attempts to enforce control. This tension fuels a gripping narrative centered on independence, authority, and the moral consequences of expansion.
Familiar faces return, including Ed Baldwin, now in his 80s, alongside Dev Ayesa, Kelly Baldwin, and Aleida Rosales. However, the spotlight increasingly shifts to a new generation—Mars-born characters who challenge Earth’s influence and redefine humanity’s future.
Watch March 27, 2026 only Apple TV Plus.
