Star City is an upcoming spinoff series of For All Mankind. It was announced by Apple TV+ on 17 April 2024.
Filming for the first season started on 20 February 2025 in Vilnius, Lithuania, and wrapped in August. The series is expected to be released sometime in 2026.

Premise

From the Apple TV+ press release:

A robust expansion of the "For All Mankind" universe, "Star City" is a propulsive, paranoid thriller that takes us back to the key moment in the alt-history retelling of the space race — when the Soviet Union became the first nation to put a man on the Moon. But this time, we explore the story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers and the intelligence officers embedded among them in the Soviet space program, and the risks they all took to propel humanity forward. "Star City" is created by Wolpert, Nedivi, and Moore. Nedivi and Wolpert serve as showrunners and executive produce alongside Moore and Maril Davis of Tall Ship Productions.
