Mireille Enos is set to join Season 5 of Apple TV+ alt-history drama ‘For All Mankind‘, however, it remains to be seen if this will be a reunion of old ‘The Killing’ castmates or a replacement…
From creators Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi, the fourth season rocketed into 2003 with an eight-year time jump since season three, Happy Valley has rapidly expanded its footprint on Mars by turning former foes into partners. The season’s focus was capturing and mining extremely valuable, mineral-rich asteroids that could change the future of both Earth and Mars. However, simmering tensions between the residents of the now-sprawling international base threatened to undo everything they were working towards.
In Season 5, Enos is set to play a character called “Celia Boyd”, who is a member of the Peacekeeper Security Force on Mars. She previously starred in shows such as ‘Hanna’ and ‘The Killing’, both of which also starred Joel Kinnaman, who has led the first four seasons of ‘For All Mankind’.
Season 4 ended (SPOILERS) with a nine-year time jump to 2012, with the “Goldilocks” asteroid in orbit around Mars and home to Kuznetsov Station, but it was unclear which of the current cast have made it through those nine years. Given that Kinnaman’s Ed Baldwin was getting quite ill in season four, and also was getting on in years, it is entirely conceivable the character won’t be back for season five. However, it would also seem a little odd and unsatisfying to viewers to kill off such a major character off-screen. Even if Enos’ Boyd and Kinnaman’s Baldwin do cross paths on Mars in season five, this will likely be a final outing for Kinnaman on the show due to the character’s advanced age.
Since its global debut, “For All Mankind” has been widely acclaimed as “one of the best shows on television,” and season four holds a perfect 100% Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes. All four seasons can be found on Apple TV+. In addition to the main series, Apple announced back in April that they have also ordered ‘Star City’, a spin-off telling the alt-history story of the space program from behind the Iron Curtain.
“For All Mankind” is created by Emmy Award winner Moore, and Emmy nominees Wolpert and Nedivi. Wolpert and Nedivi serve as showrunners and executive produce alongside Moore and Davis of Tall Ship Productions, as well as David Weddle, Bradley Thompson, Seth Edelstein and Kira Snyder. “For All Mankind” is produced for Apple TV+ by Sony Pictures Television.
