The wait is nearly over. Apple TV+ just dropped the full-length trailer for For All Mankind Season 5 on February 24, 2026 — and let’s just say things on Mars are about to get very, very ugly. If you thought the Goldilocks asteroid heist in Season 4 was dramatic, that was just the appetizer. Season 5 is serving the full meal.

What Happens in Season 5?
Season 5 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 humanity 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. IMDb
In short — Mars has graduated from struggling outpost to fully functioning city. And Earth isn’t thrilled about that. The new season’s central conflict is essentially a sovereignty battle: a new U.S. president named Bragg declares his administration will put Earth back in charge of the Red Planet, while the Martian settlers — who’ve built their lives and identities there — push back hard. Armed peacekeepers deploy on Mars. Crowds clash. Gunfire erupts. It’s shaping up to be the most politically charged, action-driven season of For All Mankind yet.
Trailer Breakdown — What to Watch For
The full trailer opens in the alternate year 2012 and immediately establishes the power shift. Gone is the pioneering survival energy of early seasons. Happy Valley now looks like a proper city — and that prosperity has attracted political control from back home on Earth.
Ed Baldwin (Joel Kinnaman) returns in his 80s — still a central figure in the Martian community, still carrying the show’s emotional core. We get our first glimpse at Sean Kaufman as the older version of Kelly Baldwin and Alexei Poletov’s son, Alex, who was last seen as an 8-year-old. Sportskeeda His journey — unsure of his destiny on Mars amid rising chaos — looks to be one of Season 5’s most compelling character threads.
Mireille Enos (The Killing) joins as Celia Boyd, a Mars peacekeeping security force member — immediately making her a fascinating new addition caught between Earth’s orders and Martian reality. Costa Ronin (The Americans) brings further political intrigue as a new series regular.
The trailer’s tone is unmistakably darker — underscored by AWOLNATION’s Sail — moving from exploration to open confrontation. The line “Time is running out… and they’re going to destroy any hope of a tomorrow up here” lands like a gut punch.
