WithFor All MankindSeason 2 now streaming on Apple TV+, I recently spoke withSarah JonesandMichael Dormanabout making the fantastic series. During the interview, they talked about what they’re excited for people to see in Season 2, what it’s like making the show behind-the-scenes, how COVID impacted the production, their favorite storyline in Season 2 that isn’t their own, and more.
If you aren’t familiar withFor All Mankind, it takes place in an alternate history where the global space race of the 1960’s never ended. In this alt timeline, the Soviet Union landed on the Moon first, and we follow NASA astronauts, engineers and their families as they try and catch up with the Russians while also dealing with the changing times. Loaded with fantastic performances, incredible production design, and a detailed depiction of the space race,For All Mankindis one of my favorite series and I absolutely recommend checking it out.
InFor All MankindSeason 2, it’s now a decade later and we’re in the middle of the Cold War between the United States and the USSR. Tensions are high between both countries as each side tries to gain a foothold on the moon and control the areas rich in resources. At the same time, the Department of Defense has militarized parts of NASA and become central to several characters' stories.
