For All Mankind Will End With Season Six
Honestly an alternate version of the 2020s sounds pretty good right now. Maybe

Good news and bad news, space fans: For All Mankind has been renewed for a sixth season! But that season will bring the long-running Apple TV series to an end.
For All Mankind is an alternate-history exploration of a world in which the Soviet Union beat the United States to the moon—which led to a lot of things going rather differently in the following decades. The sixth season will allow the show to catch up to its version of the present day, which will of course be unlike our own experience of the 2020s. (Who would wish this version of the 2020s on anyone?)
Matt Wolpert, who co-created the series with Ronald D. Moore and Ben Nedivi, told Variety, “We wanted to tell the arc of the story from the initial divergence of 1969, and then reach the present moment, and see just how different the world we’re in now could have been had we kept pushing for progress and kept pushing forward as a species.”
The show’s fifth season is just about to premiere; it lands on Apple TV on March 29, and the latest trailer suggests this season includes a lot of conflict between colonists on Mars and those folks still on Earth. The season winds up on May 29—which is the same day that spin-off Star City premieres. That show will depict the same space race, but from the Soviet side of things.[end-mark]
