What’s going on in For All Mankind Season 5 and where can you watch the latest season?

For All Mankind Season 5 starts off right on Mars, and the planet is not just a science project anymore. Why? Well, because it has now gotten extremely crowded, controlled, and honestly, the politics are kind of insane.

Episode 1 of Season 5 that released today showed us how Mars now runs like a proper settlement, with its own set of rules, authority, and people who are clearly not happy with how things are being handled on the planet.

Then, we also know of there being a lot of friction between Earth and Mars, especially when control and money turn into major issues that are yet to be solved.

On the ground, Aleida is now making big calls at Helios, and one of these decisions directly affects Kelly when her long-running research gets cut off from being funded. At the same time, Alex is now older, and he’s clearly having an identity crisis because he’s unsure about what he would like to do with his life now that he is done with school.

At the end of the episode, Alex finds a dead body, and it’s now a case of confirmed murder.

You can stream For All Mankind Season 5 only on Apple TV.

As made clear, Apple TV will release one new episode every Friday up until May 29, 2026.

And since Episode 1 is already out, the next episode for Season 5 will be released on April 3, 2026, according to Apple TV’s timetable.
