For All Mankind’s new teaser announces season 3 premiere

Apple TV+‘s For All Mankind is one of the more original sci-fi series to come along in years. Instead of portraying a universe where aliens are real, it depicts a very convincing alternate reality in which the Soviet Union was the first country to make it to the moon. Consequently, the space race never ended. And in the new teaser for For All Mankind season 3, humanity’s efforts have resulted in the first-ever manned mission to Mars … in 1995.

Additionally, Apple TV+ released a brief synopsis for the new season, as well as the release date for the third season premiere: “In this alt-history timeline, the global superpowers set their sights on the red planet in the newest leg of the space race. In uncharted territory, the competition to land on Mars first is only the beginning. For All Mankind season 3 lands June 10.”

Each of the first two seasons of For All Mankind has taken place over the course of a decade or more, starting in the late ’60s and extending to the late ’80s. As noted above, the new season takes place in the mid-’90s as Mars marks the next turning point for humanity’s destiny in the stars.

10 best Apple TV+ original shows, ranked
Adam Scott holds blue balloons in Severance season 2.

Since its first series launched in 2019, Apple TV+ has quietly churned out some high-quality original shows that span many genres. While it may not have the sheer volume of content as some of its streaming competitors, Apple's approach is all about quality over quantity. It has built a reputation for sleek production values and genuinely unique storytelling, resulting in critically acclaimed shows that keep viewers coming back for more.
From Severance to Ted Lasso, the streamer has proven its ability to produce one-of-a-kind series that are reaching audiences around the globe. Its growing catalog includes psychological thrillers, feel-good comedies, crime dramas, and more, with most being hits rather than misses. Apple TV+ isn't just filling a content library with haphazardly created generic shows — it's curating must-see series that continue to establish it as a reliable source of entertainment. Many other well-crafted shows — Morning Show, Dark Matter, Little America, and more — don't make this list, a testament to the platform's several offerings. For those wondering where to start, these are the best Apple TV+ originals that deserve a spot at the top of any viewer's watchlist.
10. Foundation (2021–)

An ambitious adaptation of Isaac Asimov's seminal sci-fi saga, Foundation imagines a distant future where the once mighty Galactic Empire teeters on the brink of collapse. This is further reinforced by the predictions of Hari Seldon (Jared Harris), a brilliant mathematician who develops psychohistory—a science that accurately predicts societal downfall. To prevent the inevitable dark age, Seldon established the Foundation, a group tasked with preserving knowledge and guiding humanity toward a renaissance. Meanwhile, the ruling Cleons, a line of cloned emperors (all played in different eras by Lee Pace, Terrence Mann, and Cassian Bilton), cling to power as they face new threats.
Foundation immediately draws audiences in with its immersive world, made believable by breathtaking production values. The dazzling spectacle sometimes isn't enough to distract from pacing issues, with the show's non-linear storytelling requiring patience. For those who stick around, Foundation rewards fans with an interstellar epic that offers political intrigue and bold mysteries that have helped cement its spot as one of the most promising sci-fi series streaming right now.

The return of Severance for its second season was met with plenty of excitement, but there was also a fair bit of groaning about just how long the show had taken between seasons. Season 1 premiered in 2022, and season 2 in 2025, almost a full three years later.

Creator Dan Erickson is aware that fans were upset about the wait, and in speaking with Variety, he said that he hoped the show's third season would come more quickly.
