Part of what makes For All Mankind such a compelling show is also its greatest risk. Although not technically an anthology show, each season has a kind of anthology feeling because we’re always in a new decade. The alternate 2012 of For All Mankind Season 5 is also the most different-feeling season yet, partly because so many of the original characters are gone, either because they're deceased or because new characters have stepped up. But the secret weapon of the show is that seemingly innocuous new characters wield a surprising amount of power. Take Costa Ronin and Miereille Enos, two brand-new characters in Season 5 who may have a much bigger influence on the show’s overall arc.
Inverse recently caught up with Costa Ronin, who plays the Soviet Governor of Mars, Leonid Polivanov, and Mireille Enos, who plays local Mars cop, Celia Boyd. And what they each revealed was that these folks probably aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Spoilers ahead covering For All Mankind Season 5, Episodes 1-7.
