Apple’s space race drama For All Mankind gets an intense first-look trailer

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Apple has launched a first-look trailer for their upcoming space race TV series FOR ALL MANKIND, as part of the company's showing at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose, California.

The highly-anticipated project hails from Golden Globe nominee and Emmy Award winner, Ronald D. Moore (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, STAR TREK), and will serve as an exploration of what would have happened if the global space race never ended. According to the series' official press release, FOR ALL MANKIND will present an aspirational world where NASA astronauts, engineers and their families find themselves in the center of extraordinary events seen through the prism of an alternate history timeline — a world in which the USSR beats the US to the moon.

Set to debut exclusively on Apple TV+, Apple’s new video subscription service, FOR ALL MANKING stars Joel Kinnaman, Michael Dorman, Sarah Jones, Shantel VanSanten, Wrenn Schmidt, and Jodi Balfour, among others. Created by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi, and directed by Seth Gordon, FOR ALL MANKIND is poised to be a top-shelf offering from Apple's streaming service, which will feature original shows, movies and documentaries from the world’s most creative storytellers, and will launch this fall in the Apple TV app.

Space exploration has certainly become a hot ticket in Hollywood as of late, especially with Damien Chazelle's biographical drama, FIRST MAN, having dazzled audiences throughout the film's late 2018 turn in theaters. I suppose that the sky is the limit with regard to touching the stars, and I would bet that Apple's upcoming series is just another in a long line of galaxy-gallivanting epics to come.
