By Mads Lennon
Before the second season of Apple TV Plus’s space-themed series For All Mankind can debut, the streamer has already renewed it for a Season 3.
According to a new press release from Apple TV Plus, the critically acclaimed space drama For All Mankind has been renewed for a third season ahead of its second season global premiere. The second season isn’t slated to debut on the app until February 19, 2021, but Apple has enough faith in the show to go ahead and give it the greenlight for season three.
The series from Golden Globe nominee and Emmy Award winner Ronald D. Moore explores what would have happened if the global space race continued, instead of ending. In this alternate timeline, NASA astronauts, engineers and their families find themselves at the center of extraordinary events in a world where the USSR beats America to the moon.
