From the beginning, Star City was never going to be like its parent series, For All Mankind. Taking place parallel to For All Mankind Season 1, Star City’s goal was to tell the story of how Roscosmos forged a path forward after beating NASA to the Moon in this alternate timeline. However, unlike FamK, in which the alternate history conceit created seemingly open-ended possibilities for the future of world events, Star City was somewhat constrained by the fact that it is, in a sense, a prequel, or at least, a mid-quel to For All Mankind.
And so, in Star City’s final episode, the biggest question the show had to resolve was simple: If the USSR sent people to Venus in the For All Mankind timeline, and two of those cosmonauts survived, how come we didn’t know about it? Here’s what happened in the season finale of Star City, how it connects to For All Mankind, and whether or not we’ll get a Season 2.
