The third season of popular Apple TV+ series "For All Mankind" is set to premiere on Friday, June 10, and ahead of that date, Apple has shared the trailer for the new season.


"For All Mankind" was one of the first Apple TV+ shows that launched when the Apple TV+ service launched in November 2020, and it has continued to be popular with viewers.

The series imagines what the world might be like if the global space race never ended and the space program had remained a priority in the United States. The initial season saw a Russian cosmonaut making it to the moon first, devastating morale at NASA and pushing the U.S. to catch up.

The second season jumped forward a decade, picking up in 1983 at the height of the cold war with the United States and USSR fighting over resources available on the moon. Season three introduces a second time jump, moving on to the early 1990s with the US and the Soviet Union racing to get to Mars.
The propulsive new season of the alternate-reality series takes viewers to a new decade, moving into the early '90s with a high-octane race to a new planetary frontier: Mars. The Red Planet becomes the new front in the space race not only for the US and the Soviet Union, but also an unexpected new entrant with a lot to prove and even more at stake. Our characters find themselves going head-to-head as their ambitions for Mars come into conflict and their loyalties are tested, creating a pressure cooker that builds to a climactic conclusion.
Joel Kinnaman, Shantel VanSanten, Jodi Balfour, Sonya Walger, Krys Marshall, Cynthy Wu, Casey Johnson, Coral Peña and Wrenn Schmidt are all returning for season three.

After the first episode of season three debuts on June 10, new episodes will follow each Friday.

Can't wait! 1st and 2nd season were great. Keep rolling :)

Hmm, I loved the concept and I thought season 1 started really strongly. But I struggled to get through the second half of the first season, then gave up completely after a couple of episodes of season 2. Generally I'm a big sci-fi fan but this series just got too bogged down in dull side-plots and boring character development. Convince me I'm wrong!

Now, Foundation and Severance, on the other hand, were both fantastic!
 
Alternate history demands an extra dose of suspension of disbelief. Too much for me in this case - and with The Man in the High Castle, although I enjoyed the first few episodes of For All Mankind, in a Right Stuff kind of way.
 
This feels like a completely different direction from seasons 1 and 2. Hopefully, it is just as good and doesn't change it self to suit a certain audience.

Some of those graphics and renderings looked…really bad. I loved the first couple of seasons, but I have my doubts going into this season.

You’re not wrong! I’m a bigger sci-fi fan than most, and I gave up half way through season 2 precisely because I am a big sci-fi fan and not much of a soap watcher.

Why would you want anyone to convince you that youre personal opinion about an artistic work is wrong?
