As a dedicated gamer and sci-fi enthusiast, I’m beyond excited about the upcoming Apple TV+ shows, but my most anticipated one is undoubtedly “Star City,” the new spinoff of “For All Mankind” led by Ronald D. Moore. With its focus shifting to the Soviet perspective, I was curious about how it would differ from its predecessor and if we could expect cameos from beloved characters like Ed Baldwin.
As a dedicated gamer of “For All Mankind,” I’m always excited for new episodes. But what truly pumps me up is the upcoming Apple TV+ spinoff, “Star City,” led by Ronald D. Moore. Right now, this exciting project is under development in the writers’ room. So, it might take some time before we get to watch it unfold. At San Diego Comic-Con, Moore gave TopMob some intriguing insights about the series. He mentioned that “Star City” will bring significant differences compared to its predecessor and shared some thoughts on the likelihood of seeing familiar faces like Ed Baldwin in cameos.
If you haven’t heard yet, “Star City” is a reinterpretation of the storyline from “For All Mankind”, but this time focusing on the Soviet point of view. I inquired about how the series would function since a significant portion of its original program hinges upon understanding American history and the fictionalized events’ impact on it. Thankfully, the Executive Producer’s remarks eased my concerns: the show will still be accessible to viewers regardless of their knowledge about Soviet Russia.
It’s an intriguing query since your perspective lacks the familiar pop culture references, music, and other context that anchors audiences. Consequently, I believe it would be helpful to view this as a period piece, setting the scene in the Soviet Union during the late sixties and early seventies. As we explore this era, American viewers might find it challenging to fully grasp the rapid changes occurring there. However, we’ll endeavor to guide them through this transformation by explaining, “Oh, just remember, the Soviet Union is undergoing significant shifts too.”
Essentially, it appears that Star City won’t follow the approach seen in For All Mankind, and that’s perfectly fine. After all, For All Mankind is set in the context of the Soviet Union, cosmonauts, and other elements consistent with its narrative timeline. Given that fans of For All Mankind are already aware of the events unfolding during this period, the spinoff will serve to provide additional details and clarify certain aspects.
From this viewpoint, I too pondered what implications it might hold for potential appearances of existing characters, such as whether Joel Kinnaman’s character Ed Baldwin will feature in Season 1. However, Ronald D. Moore was unable to provide a definitive answer on this topic. The reason for his ambiguity lies in:
1) As we’re writing this right now, many ideas are still under discussion in our team. While it’s not entirely ruled out, it’s not currently part of the plans. The story is primarily set within Star City and the Soviet Space Program, similar to how For All Mankind focuses on the American Space program. Just as For All Mankind occasionally shows glimpses of other aspects, we might do the same for Star City, but it will mainly focus on the Soviet program.
With a history of creating excellent television shows like “Outlander” and being a significant contributor to one of the greatest “Star Trek” films, Ronald D. Moore has earned a spot among science fiction greats. Therefore, I’m confident that “Star City” and its connections to “For All Mankind” will be worth watching.
Battlestar Galactica’s Ronald D. Moore Told Us His Honest Thoughts About Peacock’s Reboot And How Its Creator Reached Out
The creator of the reboot talked about the upcoming reboot.
1. It’s important to mention that Star City isn’t Ronald D. Moore’s only upcoming spinoff from a popular show. He is also involved in the production of Outlander: Blood of My Blood, and is nearing the end of the final season for the original series. In fact, he shared some details about the ending with TopMob and keeps author Diana Gabaldon informed about any creative changes.
Mr. Moore is currently occupied with various projects, not just forgetting to mention that “For All Mankind” is coming back for its fifth season. This Apple TV+ series created entirely new sets for Season 4 and is now poised to advance the timeline beyond the 21st century. Regrettably, none of these shows are included in the 2024 broadcast calendar, but I’m willing to wait if it means getting more top-notch science fiction content down the line. Let’s cross our fingers that “Star City” can offer something distinctive while keeping a consistent connection to its prequel series.
For All Mankind, Seasons 1 through 4 are available to stream with an Apple TV+ subscription.
