FlixPatrol reports that For All Mankind has moved into the top 10 most-watched TV shows this week, currently sitting in the ninth spot on the charts.

For All Mankind Finally Preparing to Come to An End
This news also comes after Apple TV announced it renewed For All Mankind for a sixth and final season to wrap up the show’s storylines. For All Mankind is an interesting series that asks what would have happened if the Soviet Union had won the space race and reached the moon first. However, unlike many alternate history shows, this one then jumps several years into the future in each season and shows the characters as they age, and the next generation of astronauts steps into their place.
The fifth season, which premieres on Apple TV on March 27, shows that it will focus on lice on Mars, which has been colonized in this alternate world history. The actual time frame is a few years since the Goldilocks asteroid heist from For All Mankind Season 4. It will also focus on Sean Kaufman (Alex Poletov), who is Kelly (Cynthia Wu) and Alexei’s (Pawel Szajda) son. According to the synopsis, there is tension boiling between the people living on Mars and those back home on Earth, who demand law and order on the red planet.
