For All Mankind is an American science fiction drama television series created and written by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi and produced for Apple TV+. The series dramatizes an alternate history depicting "what would have happened if the global space race had never ended" after the Soviet Union succeeds in the first crewed Moon landing ahead of the United States. It premiered on November 1, 2019. The fifth season premiered on March 27, 2026. Prior to the fifth-season premiere, the series was renewed for a sixth and final season, set to premiere in 2027. In April 2024, it was announced that Star City, a spinoff series focusing on the Soviet space program, was in development.

In an alternate timeline in 1969, Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov becomes the first human to land on the Moon. This outcome devastates morale at NASA, but also catalyzes an American effort to catch up. With the Soviet Union emphasizing diversity by including a woman in subsequent landings, the United States is forced to match pace, training women and minorities who were largely excluded from the initial decades of U.S. space exploration. Each subsequent season takes place ten years later, with season two taking place in the 1980s, season three in the 1990s, season four in the 2000s, and season five in the 2010s.

The series stars an ensemble cast including Joel Kinnaman, Michael Dorman, Sarah Jones, Shantel VanSanten, Jodi Balfour and Wrenn Schmidt. Sonya Walger and Krys Marshall had recurring roles in the first season before being promoted to the main cast for the second season, while Cynthy Wu, Casey W. Johnson and Coral Peña newly joined the cast, with Johnson and Peña playing older versions of characters that were portrayed by child actors in the first season. The third season saw Edi Gathegi also joining, while the fourth season added Toby Kebbell, Tyner Rushing, Svetlana Efremova and Daniel Stern. The fifth season saw Mireille Enos, Costa Ronin, Sean Kaufman, Ruby Cruz and Ines Asserson joining the main cast, with Kaufman, Cruz and Asserson taking over roles portrayed by child actors in the previous seasons.

The ensemble cast of Star City includes Rhys Ifans, Anna Maxwell Martin, Agnes O'Casey, Alice Englert, Solly McLeod, Adam Nagaitis, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis and Josef Davies, with Ifans, Casey, Englert and Davies portraying characters that were previously featured in For All Mankind.

The series features historical figures including Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, Mercury Seven astronaut Deke Slayton, rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, NASA Administrator Thomas Paine, NASA flight director Gene Kranz, U.S. senator Ted Kennedy, and U.S. presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton with some of them portrayed by actors, while others appear through archival footage that is sometimes altered to reflect the changes in the alternate timeline.
