Created by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi, Apple TV+’s science fiction drama series For All Mankind has received critical acclaim for its concept. The show dramatizes an alternate version of the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union, and each episode introduces an exciting alternate history to explore.

For All Mankind is reportedly taken from the plaque that the astronauts placed on the moon where Neil Armstrong took his first steps. It read, ‘Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the moon, July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.’ One detail from the show goes on to depict that the world would be a better place if America achieved gender equity.

Jason Sudeikis’ most beloved and celebrated character, Ted Lasso, which he created for commercials, is now one of the most beloved characters featured in a series. The actor’s portrayal of Ted Lasso has helped the show Ted Lasso become one of the most-watched series on Apple TV+.

With studios and the co-creator confirming that Ted Lasso will be back for season four, fans are thrilled and looking forward to watching what happens next in Ted Lasso’s life. But this news has also made them curious about what made Sudeikis change his mind about bringing back the show for a fourth season.

Jason Sudeikis didn’t know what was beyond Season 3 for Ted Lasso

Actor-writer-co-creator of Ted Lasso, Jason Sudeikis, spoke to Deadline in 2023 and shared that their Emmy Award-winning show is going to conclude post-season three. At the time when the publication asked the actor about his probable return as Ted Lasso,...

Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and Joe Kelly created a masterpiece when they worked on creating Ted Lasso for Apple TV+. The sports comedy-drama is one of the most-watched series on the streaming platform and has received critical acclaim for its storyline, direction, and performances. Initially, the show was said to have wrapped up after season three, but in March, Sudeikis confirmed that Ted Lasso is returning for season 4.

Ardent fans of Ted Lasso are very excited since the announcement of the show’s return, and they have been sharing their opinions and views on how the show should move ahead. Since the show ended with a lot of storylines open-ended, fans are hopeful that the upcoming season will help them find answers for the same. But at the same time, they have been talking about the character they disliked in season three.

The first man to land on the moon was Neil Arsmstrong, achieved on July 21st of the 1969 space race - but Not in this alternate history where Russia got there first and Alexei Leonov didn’t end the space race, he just got the motor started.

For All Mankind's alternate history has become one of Apple TV’s most popular science fiction shows, with the fifth season set to take the show closest to the modern age to date with another massive time jump. Though along with the fifth season, the popular show is also working on a spinoff and has just announced its first cast member - and he’s someone House of the Dragon fans probably know: Rhys Ifans, as revealed by Variety.

Set in 1920s England, “Lilies Not for Me” revolves around a gay novelist and his psychiatric nurse who form an unlikely friendship over a series of doctor-prescribed dates. “Through their conversations, he tells her the story of his relationship with an old friend which spiraled out of control when they turned to a risky procedure to cure themselves of their forbidden feelings for one another,” the synopsis reads.

As 2025's line-up of TV shows continues to take shape, there are plenty of great sci-fi shows on the horizon.

Keeley Jones went from being one of the best characters on Ted Lasso to one of the most forgettable in season 3 and if the rumors about season 4 are true, I'm going to be annoyed if Keeley doesn't get a better script in the next go around. The pilot of Ted Lasso introduced a slew of characters so quickly that I had trouble keeping their names straight, a smart move by the showrunners to make us empathize with Ted (Jason Sudeikis), who had just arrived in a new country and whose head was spinning even more than mine.

One character I did not have trouble forgetting was Keeley Jones, and not just because she was played by Juno Temple, who I remember first seeing in The Dark Knight Rises trying to steal a watch from an intoxicated bro.

“The Crown” star Elizabeth Debicki doesn’t see any reason why the series needs to be revived for additional seasons. “I think it ended in the right place, really,” she told People. “I think it respected its own cycle in a way.”

“It always kind of knew where it was going, and then I think there was a sense from the writing from Peter Morgan as well, that it understood its own end in a way. It’s very delicate, I think,” Debicki added.

“He did an amazing job wrapping up such an enormous journey. I don’t really like the word ‘journey,’ but it was a big journey for people to go on. When you commit to watching six seasons of a show, you need it to end properly,” she concluded.

Debicki played Princess Diana for the final two seasons of “The Crown.” The sixth season of the series...

For All Mankind season 5 gets a filming update from creator Ronald D. Moore at San Diego Comic-Con. After the writers strike put a pause on development, For All Mankind season 5 was officially renewed in April of this year, and cast announcements have been rolling in. The long-running Apple TV+ drama recently added Costa Ronin as Lenya, a Soviet politician and former cosmonaut.

Speaking with Screen Rant's Joe Deckelmeier at Sdcc, Moore was asked about Ronin's addition. In response, the creator shared that Ronin's character will play a key role, and mentioned that filming for new episodes is already underway but added that some stories are being reworked and rewritten.

Mireille Enos joins For All Mankind season 5, reuniting with Joel Kinnaman in a major role as Celia Boyd. A series regular, Enos' character is described as a member of Mars' Peacekeeper Security Force. Season 5 will likely focus on the year 2012, continuing unresolved plotlines like the Goldilocks asteroid mining project and the search for life on Mars.

The forthcoming season of For All Mankind has added a new name to its ever-expanding ensemble cast list. Created by the trio of Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi for AppleTV+, this highly rated sci-fi drama imagines a world where the Soviet Union beat the United States to the moon in the 1960s and the global space race never ended. Since the shows inception a few years ago, it has featured mainstays like Joel Kinnaman, Shantel VanSanten, Wrenn Schmidt, and Krys Marshall, with a number of other notable names joining in subsequent seasons.

Will Seefried’s romance drama “Lilies Not for Me,” led by Fionn O’Shea (“Normal People”) and Robert Aramayo (“The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”), has been boarded by Memento International in the run up to its world premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival.

A postscript to this philosophical effort explains that an unknown Oxford don visited Sigmund Freud’s London home shortly before his death in 1939. What if, the film asks, it had been C.S. Lewis? Well, then we might have had a conversation a little like this confection — although probably considerably sharper.

Freud (Anthony Hopkins) was a prominent atheist: not that that protected him from persecution by the Nazis for his Jewish roots, driving him to flee Vienna to London with his family. Matthew Goode’s Lewis, meanwhile, lost and rediscovered his faith after the early death of his mother and the trauma of World War I. As a second World War looms, both men reckon with its cost and their own regrets. Like One Night In Miami or Mary Queen Of Scots, this therefore uses an imaginary meeting to explore both men’s lives and work, but somehow to less than satisfying effect.

For All Mankind is returning for another season. Apple TV+ has renewed the alternate history drama for a fifth year and has also ordered a spin-off series. Titled Star City, the new show will focus on the space race from the point of view of those in the Soviet Union. The creators of the original series, Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi, are behind the new drama.

Starring Joel Kinnaman, Michael Dorman, Shantel Vansanten, Wrenn Schmidt, Sarah Jones, Jodi Balfour, Sonya Walger, Krys Marshall, Cynthy Wu, Casey Johnson, and Coral Pena, the For All Mankind series shows an alternate history of the space race. Season four took viewers into the 21st century.

"Justice" will be served for the asteroid heist in season 5 of For All Mankind, with consequences for those involved. The Goldilocks asteroid will continue to be a point of contention and impact the lives of characters on Mars and Earth. Unanswered questions, such as how humanity's future on Mars will progress, need to be addressed in season 5 as the story expands.

For All Mankind showrunners Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert have teased "justice" for the astroid heist in season 5, hinting at fallout from the event. Season 4 of the sci-fi drama saw a team of astronauts steal the Goldilocks asteroid, an object that multiple world governments had been trying to get their hands on. This ultimately led to Margo's arrest, since she admitted to her involvement in allowing the astroid into Mars' orbit.

Sigmund Freud (Anthony Hopkins) and C.S. Lewis (Matthew Goode) debate their opposing views on religion verses reason on the verge of World War II, in Freud’S Last Session.

Freud’S Last Session is based on the stage play of the same name, in which the now-elderly famous Dr. Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, invites the much younger professor C. S. Lewis, a rising Oxford don who will write the Narnia book series, into his home in London, to which the Jewish doctor fled ahead of Hitler’s invading troops from his native Vienna. On the brink of Britain’s entry into WW II, these two intellectual giants meet for the first time and discuss a range of philosophical topics, including the existence...

The creators of For All Mankind confirm that Ed Baldwin's character will return in season 5 and explain that his fate was decided early on because there is more story to tell. The show plays with the audience's expectations of character deaths and uses the history of the show to create surprises by keeping characters alive. The new time jump in season 5 of For All Mankind will revisit Mars and possibly explore other storylines, leaving the fate of characters like Dani Poole uncertain.

For All Mankind creators Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert seemingly confirm one original character's return, despite the new time jump for season 5. Portraying an alternate history, the Apple TV+ series imagines what would happen if the Soviet Union achieved the first Moon landing and the consequences of an ongoing space race. The cast includes Joel Kinnaman, Shantel VanSanten, Jodi Balfour, Wren Schmidt, Edi Gathegi, and Krys Marshall.

Freud's Last Session explores the philosophical debate between Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis on the existence and nature of God. The film delves into the complex personal histories of both men, shedding light on their troubled pasts that shaped their beliefs. The performances by Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Goode are captivating, showcasing a masterclass in acting and creating intimate and powerful scenes.

Freud's Last Session posits a fictional meeting between the iconic psychoanalyst and author C.S. Lewis at the dawn of World War II. Adapted from the play by Mark St. Germain, the film follows Sigmund Freud, terminally ill from oral cancer, as he relishes a philosophical sparring match with a Christian academic about the existence and nature of God. Their incisive banter spurs a deeper understanding of both men as flashbacks illuminate troubled pasts. A concurrent subplot focuses on Freud's daughter's closet sexuality and her obsessive behavior caring for him.

Freud's Last Session is a drama film based on the play by Mark St. Germain, featuring C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud discussing God and relationships. Directed by Matthew Brown, the movie aims to explore relevant themes of polarization and the need for meaningful dialogue in today's society. Matthew Goode delivers a remarkable performance as C.S. Lewis, showcasing elements of the character's Ptsd and his humanity. Working with Anthony Hopkins was a rewarding experience.

Freud's Last Session is based on the Mark St. Germain play of the same name. The movie tells the story of a fictional meeting between C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud. In this meeting, they debate God and discuss the nature of their relationships with others, including Freud's daughter.

Deadline’s Read the Screenplay series spotlighting the year’s most talked-about scripts continues with Freud’s Last Session, which Sony Pictures Classics pre-bought after teaming with star Anthony Hopkins to release his Oscar-winning turn in The Father.

The film had its world premiere at AFI Fest and hits U.S. theaters December 22.

Freud’s Last Session began as a play by Mark St. Germain, who adapted the script for the feature with director Matt Brown. The premise originally came to St. Germain after reading Harvard psychiatrist Armand Nicholi’s book The Question of God (later a PBS series), which compared Sigmund Freud’s and C.S. Lewis’ thoughts on faith and human nature based on their collective scholarship and letters.

Both the play and movie are set on September 3, 1939, when the atheist Freud (Hopkins) and devoutly religious Lewis (Matthew Goode), two of the century’s greatest minds, meet and debate the...

Anthony Hopkins takes on the role of famous psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud in Freud’s Past Session. Here’s the trailer.

Anthony Hopkins is no stranger to playing psychiatrists, though this role is unlikely to involve fava beans and a nice Chianti. In fact, this time, it looks as though dinner is off the menu entirely.

Freud’s Last Session, based on the play of the same name by Mark St Germain, itself based on the book The Question Of God by Dr Armand M Nicholi, Jr, imagines a scenario wherein Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, invites Chronicles Of Narnia author Cs Lewis, here played by Matthew Goode, over for a debate about the existence of God.

Sounds like just the kind of fodder that actors love getting their teeth into, and the acclaim for the play itself suggests that it’s no chore for audiences either. The adaptation into a film should build on that,...

"You bury your doubts... You bury your memories of the war... But in the core of your being, we're all cowards before death." Sony Pictures Classics has revealed the full official trailer for the film Freud's Last Session, directed by filmmaker Matt Brown, based on Mark St. Germain's play of the same name. The film premiered at AFI Fest in Los Angeles last month (here's the teaser), and it will sneak into the awards season debuting in select theaters later in December before 2023 is over. On the eve of WWII, two of the greatest minds of the 20th Century, author C.S. Lewis and psychologist Sigmund Freud, converge for their own personal battle over the existence of God, each with opposing views. Freud's Last Session interweaves the lives of Freud & Lewis, past, present, and through fantasy, bursting from the confines of Freud's study on a dynamic journey. Starring Anthony Hopkins as Freud,...

For All Mankind creator Ronald Moore hints at a potential season 5, with meaningful discussions taking place and industry-wide preparations underway. Show co-creators have previously expressed plans for at least six or seven seasons, indicating that season 5 is likely and won't be the final season. While no Apple TV+ show has gone beyond four seasons yet, For All Mankind's critical acclaim and success make a season 5 renewal possible, especially considering the streamer's short operating history.

For All Mankind creator Ronald Moore gives an encouraging update about season 5. The Apple TV+ show dramatizes a world where the global space race between the United States and the Soviet Union never ended and its effects on the astronauts and their families in the aftermath of said race. The series, which launched in 2019, has already run for three successful seasons, while season 4 is currently streaming its weekly episodes on Apple TV+. The For All Mankind season 4 cast includes Joel Kinnaman,...

Warning: Contains Spoilers for For All Mankind season 4, episode 1, "Glasnost."

For All Mankind season 4 explores an alternate timeline where major historical events have diverged, such as Bill & Hillary Clinton divorcing and same-sex marriage being legalized earlier. The show imagines a world where famous figures like Ellen DeGeneres, Michael Jordan, Stanley Kubrick, and John F. Kennedy Jr. have different paths and achievements due to the ongoing space race. The season premiere also introduces conflicts involving the balance between scientific discovery and profitability, as well as the potential danger surrounding a mismanaged attempt to mine asteroids for precious minerals.

As is traditional in a For All Mankind season premiere, "Glasnost" begins with a montage that fills viewers in on the big alternate history changes between 1995 and 2003. For All Mankind season 4 begins eight years after the end of season 3 and sees humanity more united than ever. The Mars-7 treaty has been signed, leading...

This review contains spoilers

While many of our favorite sci-fi shows seem to either be on hold or suddenly canceled, Apple TV+’s For All Mankind shows no sign of stopping. The alternate history show is blasting off with its fourth season on the streamer this November and, as always, the premiere is the most exciting part of the series’ return for those who are curious to see where all the characters have ended up after the traditional massive time jump.

The season four opening montage sets the stage for a new era, and clears away anything surplus to requirements. Unfortunately, that means that we’ve likely seen the last of Jodi Balfour’s Ellen Wilson for a while, as we’re informed that she and Bush won re-election, but the Democrats then swept to victory four years later with President Al Gore now in charge of the country. Ellen...

The fourth season of the AppleTV+ science-fiction hit serial For All Mankind, and it is finally upon us. The Apple TV+ series is built on the premise of an alternate reality where the Russians reach the moon before the Americans, thereby continuing the space race. Season 3 of the show revolve around the race to Mars between both the United States and Russia along with a privately funded, Tesla-like company called Helios Aerospace. All three organizations have shuttles making their way to the Red Planet, and it's a thrilling and well-paced batch of 10 episodes. Main characters Ed Baldwin (Joel Kinnaman), Karen Baldwin (Shantel VanSanten), Ellen Wilson (Jodi Balfour), Margo Madison (Wrenn Schmidt), Molly Cobb (Sonya Walger), and Danielle Poole (Krys Marshall) all return along with a handful of new characters and have unique storylines that are expertly brought together by the end of the season by showrunners Ronald D. Moore,...

Bigger and longer are not always better. Case in point: Freud’s Last Session, the lavish film based on a modest off-Broadway play that captivated theater audiences a decade ago. Playwright Mark St. Germain worked with director Matthew Brown (The Man Who Knew Infinity) to reshape his two-character drama about an imaginary conversation between Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis as they debate the existence of God. That provocative exchange is still in the movie, and it sometimes crackles, thanks to the performances of Matthew Goode as Lewis and, especially, Anthony Hopkins as Freud. But the heart of the story is constantly undermined by a surfeit of asides about Lewis’ experiences in the First World War, Freud’s highly charged relationship with his daughter Anna, and several other subplots.

The main culprit here may be the current fashion for time-fractured, nonlinear narratives. It is rare these days to see a movie...

On the heels of the wonderful 2019 The Two Popes, in which Anthony Hopkins starred as Pope Benedict XVI in an imagined conversation with Jonathan Pryce’s future Pope Francis, Hopkins is once again involved in the same kind of cinematic historical fictional meeting as founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, who is engaged in a private debate with The Chronicles of Narnia author and theologian C.S. Lewis (played by Matthew Goode) on the existence of God. As with The Two Popes, there is no proof whatsoever that any meeting ever took place, but it clearly provides lots of material to wrap your head around. That is exactly what Mark St. Germain did in creating his 2009 play Freud’s Last Session, which was built on the 1967 Harvard lectures of Dr. Armond M. Nicholi Jr in his presentation “The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life.

Anthony Hopkins takes on the role of Sigmund Freud in "Freud's Last Session," engaging in a captivating debate on the existence of God. The film is based on the stage play and Armand Nichol's book, drawing from the fascinating conversation between Freud and C.S. Lewis. Hopkins' impressive career spans from acclaimed movies like "The Silence of the Lambs" to major franchises such as Marvel and Transformers, making Freud another intriguing challenge for the celebrated actor.

Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins never gets tired of leaving his mark on film history, and will soon play one of the most influential men of the 19th and 20th centuries in Freud's Last Session, the new film by Matt Brown (The Man Who Knew Infinity). Based on the stage play of the same name that has already captivated the world of theater (which at the same time is based on Armand Nichol's book The...

The creators of For All Mankind have planned the show for six or seven seasons and are currently past the halfway point, sticking to their ambitious roadmap. The show's writers have flexibility to go off the map if needed while still aiming for the big goalposts. While co-creator Ben Nedivi can't imagine discussing season 6, now that they are about to premiere season 4, their plan for the future of the show still looks solid.

The future of For All Mankind has been discussed by one of the show's creators. The Apple TV+ science fiction show presents an alternate history where Russia put an astronaut on the Moon before America, and the Space Race never ended. It follows the rapid expansion of space exploration through the years, skipping about a decade between each season.

Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis battle over the existence of God on the eve of World War II in Freud’s Last Session.

The first trailer for the Sony Pictures Classics film starring Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Goode released on Wednesday, and sees the two actors portraying the famed psychologist and author, respectively.

“Why would you come here to see me if you disagree so passionately with my views?” Hopkins’ Freud asks Goode’s Lewis from across his office desk.

It’s two days after Hitler has invaded Poland, as German bombs rattle England, Freud — who fled Vienna following Nazi forces’ presence in his homeland — is now visited by the theologian Lewis in London. Not quite famous yet to the degree his Chronicles of Narnia series will bring him, the former atheist turned Christian has come to confront the “Father of Psychoanalysis.”

Where to Watch Powered by Jodi Balfour, who plays Ellen Waverly in For All Mankind, will not be a series regular in season 4 but will appear in some capacity.

When For All Mankind Season 4 gets underway on Apple TV+, viewers will see less of one of its most popular stars.

TV Line reports that Jodi Balfour is bowing out of the alt-history drama as a series regular.

Balfour, who plays Ellen, is expected to appear in some capacity.

The series has said goodbye to some fantastic people over the years, and something tells us we'll be saying goodbye to more as the years in the narrative go on.

Ellen has been a key player since For All Mankind Season 1, and her presence has been felt throughout three glorious seasons.

Knowing that we'll be seeing less of her doesn't give us much excitement for For All Mankind Season 4.

As you'll recall, the criminally underrated series ended its third season by writing out Shantel VanSanten's Karen Baldwin and Sonya Walger's Molly Cobb.
