For All Mankind Season 5 Puts Mars on a New Trajectory

Season 5 reorients For All Mankind from Earth to Mars, aging Ed Baldwin while a new generation—Alex, Kelly, Lily—takes the lead as Mars fights for independence, with Earth–Mars ripple effects (AI, policing, corporate power) shaping the saga. The Mars-centric story starts slower and with fresh faces, but sharpens into high-stakes drama and eventually expands beyond the red planet, setting up a bold future; it premieres March 27 on Apple TV+ with weekly episodes through May 29.
