For All Mankind Will Be Back for a Fifth Season

The space race continues! Season 5 of “For All Mankind” is on the horizon, and we can’t wait to see what’s next in this thrilling alt-history saga. Space is still the place for Apple TV+, which has renewed For All Mankind for a fifth season. The series imagines an alternate timeline in which the Soviets won the space race—so it makes a certain amount of sense that the streamer is adding a spinoff series, Star City, that will explore the Soviet space program. Two of For All Mankind and Star City’s three creators, Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi, will showrun the new series. (Presumably Ronald D. Moore will stay busy with the original show.) In a statement, Wolpert and Nedivi said, “Our fascination with the Soviet space program has grown with every season of For All Mankind. The more we learned about this secret city in the forests outside Moscow where the Soviet cosmonauts and engineers worked and lived, the more we wanted to tell this story of the other side of the space race.” Apple’s official description of the new show says: 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 humanity forward. No casting or timeline has been announced for Star City, and neither show has a premiere date. The first four seasons of For All Mankind are available to watch on Apple TV+.

A Return to Cybertron: Origins Unveiled

“Transformers One” takes us back to the very beginning, exploring the origins of our favorite Autobots and Decepticons. Set on the mechanical world of Cybertron, the film introduces us to the early days of Optimus Prime and Megatron, known in this movie as Orion Pax and D-16, respectively. Before they became bitter enemies, they were friends, and the trailer teases their camaraderie and shared experiences. 

The Trailer: A Glimpse into the Past

The official trailer for “Transformers One” has just been released, and it’s nothing short of spectacular. Here’s what we learned: - Orion Pax and D-16: Voiced by Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry, respectively, these two Transformers engage in friendly banter before their paths diverge. Their chemistry is palpable, and fans will witness their transformation from allies to adversaries. - Elita-One: Scarlett Johansson lends her voice to Elita-One, another key character in this origin story. Her role promises to be pivotal as she interacts with both Orion Pax and D-16. - Surface Exploration: The trailer showcases the Transformers venturing to the surface of Cybertron for the first time.
