Shortly before taking the stage at San Diego Comic-Con,where they announced a Season 4 pickup on Apple TV+, I got to speak withFor All Mankindcast membersMaril Davis,Jodi Balfour,Sonya Walger,Shantel VanSanten,Edi Gathegi,Wrenn Schmidt, and series co-creatorRonald D. Moore. During the fun interview, they talked about what it’s really like making the series, what fans would be surprised to learn about the show, when the cast thinks the series will introduce a starship like theEnterpriseonStar Trek, and Season 4. In addition, the actors talked about being able to play someone over the course of many years and what it’s like playing someone who makes choices you disagree with.
If youhaven’t seen the trailer,For All MankindSeason 3takes place in the 90’s and features three players (the United States, Russia, and a private company) in a dangerous race to be the first to land on Mars. Eventually, the Red Planet is reached, which opens the door to even more danger.
For All Mankindwas created by Emmy Award-winner Moore, and Emmy Award nomineesBen Nedivi&Matt Wolpert. The ensemble cast returning for season three also includesJoel Kinnaman,Krys Marshall,Cynthy Wu,Casey Johnson, andCoral Peña. As I have said many times, if you’re not watchingFor All Mankind, you’re missing out on one of the best shows airing on any channel. And while both Season 1 and Season 2 were phenomenal, Season 3 is the best one yet.
Check out what they had to say in the player above, and I’ve listed everything we talked about below.
