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."
With the renewal, "For All Mankind" joins "Dickinson" and "Ted Lasso" as the latest Apple TV+ series to receive an early green-light for a third season.
