Apple TV+ announced today that it picked up For All Mankind for a fifth season. But the good news did not stop there; the streamer is also adding a spinoff that takes it back to the beginning of the alternate timeline.
Star City is a propulsive paranoid thriller that takes us back to the key moment in the alt-history retelling of the space race – when the Soviet Union became the first nation to put a man on the moon. But this time, we explore the story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers, and the intelligence officers embedded among them in the Soviet space program, and the risks they all took to propel humanity forward.
“Our fascination with the Soviet space program has grown with every season of ‘For All Mankind,’” said executive producers Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi. “The more we learned about this secret city in the forests outside Moscow where the Soviet cosmonauts and engineers worked and lived, the more we wanted to tell this story of the other side of the space race. We could not be more excited to continue building out the alternate history universe of ‘For All Mankind’ with our partners at Apple and Sony.”
So, what can we expect from the mothership? We don’t know yet, but it is going to get a whole lot more interesting as their timeline approaches ours. I’d love to see how the space program would handle COVID. Maybe we all go up to Mars to get away from it? Or perhaps they just never get coronavirus because their timeline is so much more advanced than ours. I mean, Al Gore was their President. Need I say more?
I don’t know about you, but it feels like forever since Loot’s first season ended on Apple TV+.
Guess what? Today, the streaming service announced that the new season will debut on April 3rd with two episodes. Then we will get a new one every Wednesday until May 29th.
If you missed the first season, then here is a quick summary of the endearing show. Maya Rudolph plays a trophy wife whose insanely rich husband dumps her. Then, she decides to give away all of the money she got in the settlement.
There is only one problem: she has never worked a day in her life and doesn’t know how to do anything but be wealthy. So, with the help of Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Nat Faxon, Ron Funches, and Joel Kim Booster, she is going to make the world a better place. No matter how many times they fail.
I usually am not a Rudolph fan, but I love her in this. Loot shouldn’t be as great as it is, but it is! You can’t help but to fall in love with it.
So, if you missed the first season, then you can watch it not on Apple TV+. I promise you will want to hug it as much as I do!
Carol Burnett is 90 years young, and she is still as funny as ever.
Case in point. Here she is starring in Apple TV+’s Palm Royale, which debuts on March 20th. She isn’t saying anything, but she is still making me laugh out loud.
How many comedians can do that as well as her? Not many. And that is why we love her so much.
Apple TV+ gave us something to sing about when they gave Schmigadoon a series order. However, today, The show’s co-creator, Cinco Paul, announced that the fat lady has sung.
I am sad to share that Apple will not be moving forward with season 3 of Schmigadoon! The season is written (including 25 new songs), but we unfortunately won’t be making it. Such is life. I want to thank everyone involved with the show, our incredible cast & crew & writers, our wonderful supporters at Broadway Video, Universal, & Apple, for everything they did to make it happen. It’s a miracle we even got two seasons, honestly, and I’m so grateful we did. And to all the fans of the show out there-thank you with all of my heart. Your love and support has meant so much, and the fact that you connected with our show, that it brought you some joy, means the world to me. This was tough news to get, but the optimist in me is convinced it’s not the end of Schmigadoon…and maybe it’s even a happy beginning.
Love, Cinco
Schmigadoon focused on a couple, Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong, who found themselves in a hidden town where people sang songs from musicals from the ’40s and ’50s. At first, they couldn’t wait to get out of there. But then, for the second season, they couldn’t wait to get back. However, this time, they found themselves in Schmicago, in the era of Fosse, the ’60s and ’70s.
I was so looking forward to seeing what was next for the couple. Because I am a girl who loves a toe-tapping musical. And that is what they delivered!
Hopefully, someone will see this news and give us a third season. And then we will have something to sing about.
The After Party just concluded its second season on Apple TV+. And like one of the guests at the party, the show is dead.
Well, it is on life support because Deadline reports that Sony is shopping it around. But I have a feeling that no one is going to want the comedy that stars Tiffany Haddish.
The murder mystery had a good first season. But the second one lost its magic.
