WithFor All MankindSeason 2 now streaming on AppleTV+, I recently spoke withJoel Kinnamanabout the fantastic series. During this very fun interview that made me laugh many times, Kinnaman teases what fans can expect in the second season, what he knows about Season 3 and beyond, what might surprise people to learn about the making of the show and more. In addition, he shares averyfunny story about what he did during a scene that required him to be eating a lot of pasta…and what happened after.
If you aren’t familiar withFor All Mankind, it takes place in an alternate history where the global space race of the 1960’s never ended. In this alt timeline, the Soviet Union landed on the Moon first, and we follow NASA astronauts, engineers and their families as they try and catch up with the Russians while also dealing with the changing times. Loaded with fantastic performances, incredible production design, and a detailed depiction of the space race,For All Mankindis one of my favorite series and I absolutely recommend checking it out.
InFor All MankindSeason 2, it’s now a decade later and we’re in the middle of the Cold War between the United States and the USSR. Tensions are high between both countries as each side tries to gain a foothold on the moon and control the areas rich in resources. At the same time, the Department of Defense has militarized parts of NASA and become central to several characters' stories.
