Star City: Release date speculation, cast and latest news
Star City, the For All Mankind spin-off, continues to look promising.
Star City, a For All Mankind spin-off from Ben Nedivi, Matt Wolpert and Ronald D Moore, is an upcoming sci-fi show from Apple following the premise of an alt-history retelling of the space race.
Its original show dared to ask the question: what if the space race ended with the Soviet Union putting the first man on the moon instead of the US?
Star City, however, is taking a different approach. Instead of focusing on the space race as a whole, the series will delve into the lives of the people who made it possible for the Soviet space programme to succeed.
The risks, the rewards, and everything in between. Everything it took to make it possible for the Soviet Union to take the first big step for mankind.
Star City is still in its early stages of production, with news confirming that filming for the series took place in Lithuania earlier this year.
The most recent news surrounding the series is that Priya Kansara (Polite Society, Bridgerton) has joined the cast as a regular. It has not yet been confirmed who her character is, or what role she will play.
But when could the series arrive on Apple TV+? Read on for all we know so far.
Star City release date speculation
At this early stage, we have no confirmed release date for Star City.
However, we estimate a release date of mid-2026 to early 2027, based on our knowledge of Star City's production.
When we get more of an idea of when we can expect Star City to grace our screens, we'll update this guide with more information.
Until then, please keep checking back regularly as more information becomes available.
Who will be in the cast of Star City?
Star City already has a jam-packed cast of star-studded talent going for it, with big names like Rhys Ifans (House of the Dragon) and Adam Nagaitis (Chernobyl).
While none of the cast's characters have had their names confirmed, we do know that Ifans will be playing the 'Chief Designer', the individual who helps drive the Soviet Space programme team to success.
Here's the full cast that we know so far:
- Rhys Ifans
- Anna Maxwell Martin
- Solly McLeod
- Agnes O'Casey
- Alice Englert
- Adam Nagaitis
- Josef Davies
- Ruby Ashbourne Serkis
- Priya Kansara
Check back regularly, as we'll be updating this guide with more information about the cast's characters as details about the production, story, and more are announced.
What could Star City be about?
As a For All Mankind spin-off, Star City has already revealed itself to be a show about the space race.
However, unlike the original show, Star City will focus more on the Soviets who helped make it possible for the Soviet Union to put the first man on the moon, rather than the US.
How many episodes could Star City consist of?
At the time of writing, it has not yet been confirmed how many episodes Star City will consist of. However, if we consider that it's a spin-off of For All Mankind, we can make an overall estimate.
Each For All Mankind season consists of 10 episodes - so it wouldn't be too out of the question to assume that Star City would also have the same amount.
Of course, given how costly it has become to produce TV, it could also have fewer episodes, perhaps around eight.
Again, this is an estimate, and the actual number of episodes has not been confirmed.
How many seasons of Star City will there be?
It has not been confirmed whether or not Star City will have more than one season.
As more information is revealed, we will update this guide if any more details on the sci-fi show's seasons are confirmed.
Is there a trailer for Star City?
Not yet! We'll keep this page updated with any footage that comes our way.
In the meantime, check out the original show's For All Mankind trailer for season 4.
