In 2019, For All Mankind charted an alternate timeline, beginning in a different version of 1969 where NASA lost the space race to the Moon. Since then, each subsequent season has jumped forward by about a decade, meaning some of our fictional pioneering astronauts — like Ed Baldwin (Joel Kinnaman) and Danielle Poole (Krys Marshall) — were much older by Season 4. Now, with the upcoming Season 5 jumping to 2012, and new cast members already getting announced, it’s very possible that the next phase of For All Mankind will feel like an even bigger reboot than previous seasons. Because at this point, we could be looking at a lot of new faces, so many, that it could feel like an entirely new cast.
