Apple has ordered a third season of Apple TV+ alt-history space drama "For All Mankind" a few months ahead of the second season release.
The Cupertino tech giant renewed the series for a second season before Apple TV+ debuted in November 2019. Although production was halted due to the coronavirus, it resumed in August, and season two is now set to debut in February 2021.
Production on the third season of the drama from Ronald D. Moore and Sony Pictures Television is set to kick off in the spring, Deadline reported.
"For All Mankind" imagines an alternate view of history in which the global space race never ended and the USSR beat the U.S. to the moon. It stars Joel Kinnaman, Michael Dorman, Sarah Jones, Shantel VanSanten, Wrenn Schmidt, Jodi Balfour, Krys Marshallm and Sonya Walger.
The series was created by Moor, Ben Nedivi, and Matt Wolpert. All three executive produce the series along with Golden Maril Davis of Tall Ship Productions. Sony Pictures Television also produces "For All Mankind."

Most of the first season dealt with "existing technologies" like the Apollo rockets. Based on the post-credits scene in the final episode of season one, the next season will involve oversized rockets, nuclear power on the Moon, and some future technologies. The technology will probably be at this level:

...except that the Moon will stay in Earth's orbit.
I was truly impressed with the technical skill involved in the For All Mankind series. Having been a child during that timeframe, seeing the clothes, home decor, dishes, cars and re-creating that whole period in time was truly masterful. We have enjoyed quite a few of the Apple shows, and are anxiously awaiting to see Season 2.
These three shows alone are worth a year subscription or Apple TV+.
