Sci-Fi Hit ‘For All Mankind’ Soars on Apple Following Season 5 Premiere

by

Apple’s popular sci-fi thriller quickly became a hit again, moving past some of the streaming service’s most popular shows. Both Severance and Pluribus have dropped in the rankings as viewers returned to this long-time favorite.

This popular sci-fi series, which first aired in 2019, presents a fascinating alternate history: the Soviet Union beat the United States to the moon. Instead of ending the space race, this sparked an ongoing competition for control of space. With stunning visuals and a talented cast including Joel Kinnaman, Krys Marshall, Michael Dorman, Sarah Jones, and Jodi Balfour, the Apple TV+ original immediately grabs your attention and keeps you hooked.

The sci-fi series For All Mankind is once again a hit on Apple TV+, currently ranking as the fifth most popular show in the US. It premiered its fifth season on March 27th. The critically acclaimed thriller Severance has dropped to seventh place, and the new sci-fi series Pluribus, created by the mind behind Breaking Bad, is now tenth.

Apple Continues to Prove It’s the King of Sci-Fi

Apple TV+ has consistently delivered high-quality, original science fiction, and the success of For All Mankind further solidifies its position as a leader in the streaming space. They’ve built a reputation for creating exciting, thought-provoking shows that focus on compelling characters.

Beyond popular shows like For All Mankind, Severance, and Pluribus, Apple TV+ offers a range of other favorites including Silo, Foundation, Murderbot, Invasion, and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. What these shows have in common is their stunning, movie-quality visuals and expansive settings, making each episode a truly immersive experience. Like John Hammond famously said, no expense was spared in bringing these worlds to life.

Apple has found success by creating sci-fi shows that are dramatic and make viewers think. This approach has helped them stand out, especially compared to services like Netflix and Prime Video, which haven’t consistently matched that quality. While those other platforms have good shows too, Apple is currently leading the way in high-quality science fiction.

‘For All Mankind’ Has Its Sights Set on More Glory

Even though Season 5 of For All Mankind has just begun, fans can be happy to know that this critically acclaimed sci-fi series will return for a sixth and final season. The announcement about Season 6 came before the Season 5 premiere, and while it’s sad to see the show ending, it won’t be the last we see of For All Mankind.

Even though the original show is ending, its story will continue with a new series called Star City. This spin-off will explore the Soviet space program, and the good news is it’s coming out quickly – it will premiere on May 29th, right after the final episode of For All Mankind Season 5.
