Apple TV+ has unveiled a first look at “Star City,” a highly anticipated new drama from award-winning creators Ben Nedivi, Matt Wolpert and Ronald D. Moore. Expanding the universe of For All Mankind, the eight-episode thriller will premiere globally with its first two episodes on Friday, May 29, followed by new installments every Friday through July 10.
Inspired by the critically acclaimed space-race saga, “Star City” revisits the pivotal moment in its alternate-history timeline when the Soviet Union becomes the first nation to land a man on the moon. This time, the story unfolds from behind the Iron Curtain, offering a gripping, paranoid thriller that delves into the lives of Soviet cosmonauts, engineers and the intelligence officers embedded within the space program — and the immense risks they took to push humanity forward.
The ensemble cast features Rhys Ifans (“House of the Dragon”), Anna Maxwell Martin (“Motherland”), Agnes O'Casey (“Black Doves”), Alice Englert (“Bad Behaviour”), Solly McLeod (“House of the Dragon”), Adam Nagaitis (“Chernobyl”), Ruby Ashbourne Serkis (“I, Jack Wright”), Josef Davies (“Andor”) and Priya Kansara (“Bridgerton”).
“Star City” is created by Nedivi, Wolpert and Moore, with Wolpert and Nedivi serving as showrunners. They executive produce alongside Moore, Maril Davis of Tall Ship Productions, Andrew Chambliss and Steve Oster. The series is produced for Apple TV+ by Sony Pictures Television.
