Mars is ours! HD shots from "For All Mankind" season 5 trailer

In a teaser released in January Apple TV revealed that in season 5 of the alternate-history sci-fi TV series For All Mankind, the Happy Valley Base on Mars has grown into a thriving colony with thousands of residents. Two days ago the full trailer dropped, confirming that the friction between the Martian colonists and their former home, Earth, will be the central theme of season 5 - depicting the alternate year 2012.

For All Mankind is exploring the idea of never-ending space race if the Soviets had beaten the US in the race for the Moon, and the intention of the show is each season to jump about a decade further into the increasingly diverging reality of the show: in season 1, depicting alternate 1969 to 1974, both Soviets and US start building their separate bases near the lunar South pole; in season 2 (1983) both bases have been expanded and the superpowers compete for resources on the Lunar surface; in season 3 (1992 to 1995), Soviets and US are joined by a private company Helios and North Korea for a four-way race to be the first on Mars; in season 4 (2003) there is a sprawling international human base on Mars, but Martian rebels "steal" a large, lithium-rich asteroid, locking it in Martian orbit. Season 5 will start airing on March 27 on Apple TV.
