What 'For All Mankind' Is Doing 'Almost 100% New' For Season 4 In The 21st Century
For All Mankind is finally on the verge of returning to Apple TV+ as part of the 2023 TV schedule, more than a year after the Season 3 finale ended back in August 2022 with a time jump and some Radiohead. Season 4 is bringing the story ahead to the 21st century, and viewers should expect some significant changes. In fact, members of the For All Mankind production team spoke with CinemaBlend about what's ahead, and part of Season 4 will be "almost 100% new."
Fans of one of the best Apple TV+ shows will see the story pick up in 2003, and the year is definitely going to be different in the For All Mankind universe than it was in real life two decades ago. While the space program was the focus of earlier seasons, the Happy Valley mission in Season 4 involves working to mine valuable asteroids. There will be tension on the base, and a lot has changed over the eight-year time jump.

00:00 First of all, I'll just tell you that you will see almost 100% new sets.
00:06 So from a production designer's point of view, this is a fabulous experience.
00:11 We're really building a new world.
00:14 It's based on some things that we've seen in the previous seasons, but we're really out there.
00:21 So Happy Valley has expanded now, gigantically.
00:25 We have new spaceships, and as you know, we're searching for asteroids that we can mine,
00:33 which is based on real things that are happening that people are talking about right now.
00:38 And that's not even to talk about Margo's side of the story, which I can only hint at
00:44 because you saw her at the end of season three wake up in Moscow.
00:49 So the world is going to grow and expand in every direction this season.
00:54 It's actually quite delightful when you're expanding and creating characters that the audience is very familiar with.
01:09 And when I say the word creating, I'm meaning sort of transforming themselves.
01:15 For want of a better description, aging.
01:19 But these characters have all gone through major life changes, professionally and personally.
01:29 And so for me, the challenge was, and the interesting, exciting part,
01:34 was developing further the look of those characters and sort of adding to their story.
01:40 The other wonderful challenge is, of course, the new season four spacesuit.
01:48 It was an amazing process.
01:51 Garrett here, of course, was a very important collaborator.
01:56 And I was really happy with where we ended up with the design.
02:03 Yeah.
02:05 Yeah.
