The third season of For All Mankind was renewed in late 2020. Season 3 premiered on June 10, 2022.

The season takes place in the 1990s, starting in July 1992, roughly 9 years after the events of Season 2, and ending around the end of 1995.

Filming began in March 2021 and concluded in September 2021.

Premise

The propulsive new season of the alternate-reality series takes viewers to a new decade, moving into the early '90s with a high-octane race to a new planetary frontier: Mars. The Red Planet becomes the new front in the space race not only for the US and the Soviet Union, but also an unexpected new entrant with a lot to prove and even more at stake. Our characters find themselves going head-to-head as their ambitions for Mars come into conflict and their loyalties are tested, creating a pressure cooker that builds to a climactic conclusion.

Cast & Characters

Season 3 had 10 main characters (9 after episode two) and a total of 131 credited actors/characters.
