Motherland's Anna Maxwell Martin takes no prisoners in brutal first look at new drama Star City
The new thriller is coming to Apple TV next month.
Apple TV has unveiled a new trailer for its new Anna Maxwell Martin-starring alt-history thriller Star City.
The sci-fi show, which is set to be released on the streamer on Friday 29 May, is a spin-off of For All Mankind and is once again set in an alternative timeline of the Soviets becoming the first nation to put a man on the moon.
But Star City is taking a different approach, exploring the story from behind the Iron Curtain and following the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers, and the intelligence officers navigating the risks surrounding the Soviet space program.
The new tense trailer hints at plenty of twists, turns and danger and gives fans a first look at Martin in action as Lyudmilla Raskova, the head of KGB surveillance in Star City, as well as House of the Dragon's Rhys Ifans, who’s the Chief Designer for the project.

It was announced last month that For All Mankind would be returning with a sixth and final season.
Showrunners Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi, who co-created the series with Ronald D Moore, said in a statement: “Getting to explore the For All Mankind universe over six seasons has been an amazing privilege, and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to finish the story the way we’ve always hoped."
They added: "We’re incredibly proud of what this series has become, and grateful to Apple TV and Sony Pictures Television for helping us see it through to its final chapter.”
Star City will premiere on Apple TV+ on Friday 29 May.
