For All Mankind's third season trailer teases an exciting space race to Mars
The Apple TV Plus drama will make its anticipated return in June
Apple TV+ has finally released a trailer for the third season of For All Mankind, one of its most thrilling (and highly underrated) dramas. The space race has clearly intensified in the ten years between seasons two and three of the alternate-reality sci-fi series. The show jumps to the ‘90s when the U.S. and Russia have set sights on the Red Planet.
With an established moonbase on the lunar surface, it makes sense that the next step is to conquer Mars and gain an upper hand on its resources. The closing shot of the second season finale teed this up nicely. As seen in the trailer, NASA astronaut Molly Cobb (Sonya Walger) tells her team, “We have a historic opportunity, the first mission to Mars.” But it’s not just the two countries vying to succeed here, it’s also private equity—surprise, surprise. Season three introduces Dev Ayesa (Edi Gathegi), a charismatic visionary who wants to invest in the space race. He believes private citizens should also have a stake.
