The good news is that For All Mankind will be back for its sixth season. The bad news is that it will be the alternate timeline that takes on space travel show’s last one on Apple TV.
“Getting to explore the ‘For All Mankind’ universe over six seasons has been an amazing privilege, and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to finish the story the way we’ve always hoped,” said Wolpert and Nedivi. “We’re incredibly proud of what this series has become, and grateful to Apple TV and Sony Pictures Television for helping us see it through to its final chapter.”
Before we get to that chapter, we still have to get through season 5, which premieres on Friday. This upcoming season picks up in the 2010s, years since the Goldilocks asteroid heist. Happy Valley has grown into a thriving colony with thousands of residents and a base for new missions that will take us even further into the solar system. But with the nations of Earth now demanding law and order on the Red Planet, friction continues to build between the people who live on Mars and their former home.
I got into the series because my friend had a bit role in season 1, and I was hooked. The first three seasons were ingenious in how they handled being set in a parallel timeline that had successfully colonized the Moon and Mars, and all the greed and BS that goes along with that. However, last season, after they moved to Mars, it started to lose me. It stopped being about space exploration and became more about the strife between Mars and Earth.
I will stick with it for the final two seasons, but I think they are smart to be ending it.
Palm Royale was the belle of the ball with 11 Emmy nominations during its first season on Apple TV. However, its second season was not as popular.
So even though it had a star-studded cast, Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Amber Chardae Robinson, Mindy Cohn, Julia Duffy, and Carol Burnett, it was not enough to get back in Apple TV’s ball. Therefore, Deadline is reporting that it will not be back for a third season.
Palm Royale was a niche show because it was a clever comedy, and not everyone has the time to appreciate brilliance. However, I am one of the ones who does, so I am thankful we got two seasons because that is better than nothing.
Apple TV released the first trailer for the fifth season of For All Mankind, and this season does not look like the others.
The first four were all about space exploration to the Moon and Mars, and colonization of the territories. But this season is about survival. Not survival to live, but survival of what they accomplished on Mars.
This season picks up in the 2010s, years since the Goldilocks asteroid heist. Happy Valley has grown into a thriving colony with thousands of residents and a base for new missions that will take us even further into the solar system. But with the nations of Earth now demanding law and order on the Red Planet, friction continues to build between the people who live on Mars and their former home.
The season premiere drops on March 27th with a new episode every week until the season finale on May 29th.
Palm Royale will be back for season 2 next month, and today Apple TV released a preview of what we can expect. And what can expect is an even crazier season. And not only because Carol Burnett is awake this time around, but also because Patti LuPone joins the cast.
In season two, Maxine is left a social pariah after a scandalous public breakdown. She’ll have to draw on her deep well of cleverness and cunning to prove, once and for all, that not only does she belong, but she just might have what it takes to rule this town. Along the way, she will uncover untold truths and finally understand what this town is truly built on … secrets, lies, and the occasional felony.
The first episode drops on November 12th with a new episode every week until the season finale on January 14th.
The Morning Show is back tomorrow for its 4th season, and Apple TV+ is not waiting to see if people are still tuning in to renew it for a 5th season.
“The Morning Show has been a standout from the very start, debuting as one of the flagship series on Apple TV+,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming at Apple TV+. “It’s been incredibly rewarding to see it not only entertain but also resonate with audiences worldwide. Thanks to the outstanding cast and creative team—led by Jennifer, Reese, Charlotte, and Mimi — ‘The Morning Show’ continues to deliver addictively entertaining and provocative stories that we’ve all come to love. We’re excited for viewers to experience the next chapter of this Emmy-winning drama.”
This season opens in spring 2024, almost two years after the events of season three. With the UBA-NBN merger complete, the newsroom must grapple with newfound responsibility, hidden motives and the elusive nature of truth in a polarized America. In a world rife with deepfakes, conspiracy theories and corporate cover-ups — who can you trust? And how can you know what’s actually real? Along with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, the upcoming fourth season stars two-time Emmy Award winner Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Greta Lee, Nicole Beharie and Emmy Award-winner Jon Hamm. Season four welcomes new cast members Aaron Pierre, William Jackson Harper, Boyd Holbrook, and Academy Award winners Marion Cotillard and Jeremy Irons.
At this rate, the next season of TMS will finally be caught up to today.
