Apple TV+ officially renewed For All Mankind for Season 5 in April 2024, alongside announcing a spinoff series, Star City . Filming began in July 2024 and reportedly wrapped in mid-December 2024, according to posts on social media.

Season 4 ended in January 2024, pointing to a potential late 2025 release, likely between October and December 2025. For All Mankind Season 5 Potential Cast
The For All Mankind cast evolves with each season due to the show's decade-long time jumps, and Season 5 is no exception. Several core actors are expected to return. Here's a breakdown: Joel Kinnaman as Edward 'Ed' Baldwin: The aging astronaut remains a central figure, though his declining health in Season 4 raises questions about his role. Flashbacks or a limited presence are possible if Ed passes away by 2012.
Wrenn Schmidt as Margo Madison: After her arrest for sabotaging the Goldilocks mission, Margo's return is confirmed. Her story may involve a release from prison to tackle a space-related crisis, leveraging her expertise.
Edi Gathegi as Dev Ayesa: Dev's vision for Mars colonization and asteroid mining will likely drive key plot points.
Coral Peña as Aleida Rosales: Aleida's arc continues as she navigates the fallout of Margo's sacrifice.
Krys Marshall as Danielle Poole: Danielle survived Season 4's cliffhanger, suggesting her leadership role persists.
Cynthy Wu as Kelly Baldwin, Toby Kebbell as Miles Dale, Tyner Rushing, Daniel Stern, and Svetlana Efremova are also expected to return, though time jumps may alter their roles. Potential Plot for For All Mankind Season 5
While Apple TV+ has not released an official synopsis, the Season 4 finale provides strong clues about Season 5's direction. The story jumps from 2003 to 2012, focusing on the Goldilocks asteroid's mining operation at the newly built Kuznetsov Station. This leap continues the show's tradition of decade-long time skips, exploring technological and societal advancements in an alternate history.

'Ted Lasso' Fan Favorite Brett Goldstein Calls Season 4 Announcement a ‘Relief'
Brett Goldstein has emerged as one of the many beloved characters in the Apple TV+ hit series Ted Lasso. He portrays the popular player-turned-coach Roy Kent, who has a gritty personality and doesn't love small talk. It seems Goldstein's disinterest in small talk during the show may translate to real life in some ways, specifically when it comes to being asked questions about Ted Lasso's future From the sound of it, Goldstein didn't exactly love fielding the constant questions on the topic of whether Ted Lasso would even return for a Season 4, before the news was officially revealed. He made that much known during a recent interview with Variety. When the topic of Goldstein no longer having to address the questions about the show's future when they arose, it sounds like they were tougher on him than the current queries he gets. "That is such a relief," Goldstein said of no longer having to answer questions about the show's future. Goldstein, who plays Louis on the hit show Shrinking, is also an executive producer and writer for the show. While he's in the same boat as the rest of the Ted Lasso cast, having to remain tight-lipped on Season 4, he did call it "exciting" to be back with the rest of the show's actors. "Obviously, I can't tell you a single thing about it, of course, but we're working on it, and it's good," he says. "It's exciting to have everyone back together." One thing fans can rejoice in is the fact that they'll be treated to more of Roy Kent in the upcoming season. Unfortunately, no specific release date has been set, but filming was slated to begin mid-July.'Ted Lasso' Fan Favorite Brett Goldstein Calls Season 4 Announcement a 'Relief' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 18, 2025

Director: Rami Malek's accessible awkwardness made him ideal 'Amateur'
1 of 4 | Rami Malek's "The Amateur" is now available on digital platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home. File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo NEW YORK, June 20 (UPI) -- Director James Hawes says his new action-thriller, The Amateur, works as well as it does because Oscar-winning actor Rami Malek is believable as Charlie Heller, a CIA cryptographer with zero field skills, and makes viewers instantly care about him. "He has such intelligence as an actor, as a man, so you believe the brains behind the guy," Hawes told UPI in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. "He has that charming, accessible awkwardness, so you feel that he has a vulnerability that you want to exploit. Also, as an actor, he's incredibly brave, in every way. He throws himself into stunts. He throws himself in emotionally, so I think it just engages you because you travel with him." Co-starring Jon Bernthal, Rachel Brosnahan, Caitriona Balfe, Michael Stuhlbarg, Holt McCallany, Julianne Nicholson and Laurence Fishburne, the adaptation of Robert Littell's best-selling 1981 novel follows Charlie (Malek) as he tries to track down the people responsible for his wife Sarah's murder, against the wishes of his bosses at the Agency. There's no going back. Watch The Amateur at home with exclusive bonus features. Buy it now only on Digital. 20th Century Studios (@20thcentury) June 20, 2025 One of the challenges of making a film like this is striking the balance between authentic storytelling and protecting actual spy craft. "We had CIA advisers, as part of it all," Hawes said, noting there are interviews with them and behind-the-scenes videos in the extras of the digital release of the film, which is now available on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home. "We really made it so the actors could be confident of the logic of the props, of everything they were doing and then we do that little Hollywood lift," he added. "So, we talked about it being rooted, but elevated. It was rooted in the real world. We ran it past all these advisers who said, 'Yes, that totally works.' And then we'd find a Hollywood twist, just to put some a little bit more sprinkles on." Spy capers seem to be in Hawes' blood since he also previously helmed numerous episodes, including the pilot, of the beloved British MI5 series, Slow Horses. He said he doesn't see a huge difference between stories that follow American spies vs. ones about British secret agents. "It's a genre that the British have done for a long time from Le Carre. Of course, I worked on Slow Horses, so it's something we seem to own," he explained. "I think that's part of our political history: putting us in the middle of the world between the enemies of Europe and the States. It's all about how you find your unexpected heroes thrown into the danger of the shadows." Hawes also directed the first two episodes of Lanterns, the upcoming DC Universe series starring Kyle Chandler, Aaron Pierre, Kelly Macdonald and Nathan Fillion. It is scheduled to premiere on HBO and Max early next year.
