For All Mankind Season 5 Teases Future Space Missions Beyond Titan

ScreenRant's Liam Crowley spoke to For All Mankind's executive producers Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert about the show's future trajectory after season 5. Wolpert and Nedivi hint that while Titan is the "plan for this season in particular," audiences will see "the next steps" of where For All Mankind will go "in the next few episodes." Read their quotes below:

ScreenRant: The Titan missions that are ongoing right now, and I say missions plural, because we know there are a couple going on. We know For All Mankind is ending with season six. Are those Titan missions slowly being positioned as the endgame mission of this show?

Ben Nedivi: I wouldn't say that. I think the promise of the show was always that we were going to go beyond just the moon and Mars. I think that's kind of what I think Titan represents. It's one of those steps we've been looking to make from the very beginning. I will say you'll see more of it. I don't want to get into details of what exactly is going to happen, but yes, Titan is very much a plan for this season in particular. So anyone who's been following so far will see the next steps in the next few episodes.

ScreenRant: Okay. To clarify, Mars was a multiseason arc. We only started going to Mars in season three, and we're still fleshing it out in season five. So are you saying we can expect to go to places beyond just Titan?

Ben Nedivi: Now you're really digging.

Matt Wolpert: Yeah, you never know. There is always an instinct in humankind to wonder what's over that next hill. So we'll just have to see.

ScreenRant: I was just going to try and pry about Jupiter, but I don't think you guys have any plans to go to that place.

Matt Wolpert: Yeah, that would be a tough one. I think you'd immediately be eradicated to death.

For All Mankind's first two seasons established NASA's Jamestown base on the moon, and Mars became the focus of the series in season 3. As Liam pointed out, the story of Mars' Happy Valley colony is still evolving in season 5, with Dev Ayesa (Edi Gathegi) and Helios planning to build a massive city on Mars. Meanwhile, Helios and Kuragin are now en route to Titan.

To expand upon what Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi said, about why For All Mankind skipped Jupiter, it's not a planet that humans can set foot on and settle. This is the same case with Saturn and Titan. For All Mankind's space mission to Titan will investigate signs of life, but outside of building a space station, there's no actual colonizing gas giant planets like Saturn and Jupiter.

For All Mankind season 6 will jump forward for one more decade, just as prior seasons have, and it's likely technology will have evolved to the point where human exploration to Pluto and the outer solar system will be possible. With one season left, For All Mankind aims to "look over the next hill" and push as far as possible. Whether humans will journey to Pluto and beyond the galaxy remains to be seen.

Fans are invested in For All Mankind's generations of human characters, but the built-in thrill of the series' alternate reality is how far astronauts, engineers, and scientists from many nations and corporations can travel beyond Earth by working together.

Mars might be the last planet humans can colonize, but For All Mankind's space exploration may encompass the farthest regions of our solar system by the time the show ends in season 6.
