In the alternate reality of For All Mankind, the Soviet Union becomes the first nation to set foot on the Moon. Star City picks up on this turning point and chronicles the space race from the other side of the Cold War, following cosmonauts, engineers, and intelligence officers embedded in the Soviet space program.
The series adopts a paranoid-thriller tone, with a story centered on the personal and political risks faced by those taking part in this space quest. The project thus extends the alternate history explored in For All Mankind, but by shifting the setting, the institutions, and the historical perspective.
Starring Star City, it brings together Rhys Ifans, Anna Maxwell Martin and Agnes O'Casey. Its eight-episode, 60-minute format allows for a sprawling espionage and science-fiction epic around a space program, where every technical breakthrough can also become an ideological stake.
