For All Mankind Renewed for Fifth Season, Soviet-Focused Spin Off 'Star City' Announced
www.thewrap.comI really, really like For All Mankind. It's a good sci-fi show. It's not winning any awards for its depiction of the USSR, but it firmly puts the Russians in the antagonist seat, not necessarily the 'irredeemable evil' seat.
FAM getting a spin off entirely focused on the Soviet's perspective during its alternate history is not something I ever expected to see.
Considering that the latest season of FAM establishes the USSR outliving its real-life point of collapse, while retaining its communist values, I hope that this 'Star City' spin off is going to be an even more humanizing look at the Soviets.
