Destiny awaits on Mars in For All Mankind season 4 teaser

With the release of new seasons of Invasion and Foundation, as well as the premiere of Silo, 2023 has already been a banner year for sci-fi on Apple TV+. And later this fall, one of the very first original series on Apple TV+, For All Mankind, will return for its fourth season. Unlike the other science fiction shows on Apple TV+, For All Mankind has no ray guns, aliens, or any real fantastical elements. Instead, it’s a very grounded story about an alternate timeline where the space race never ended. As you can see in the first teaser trailer for season 4, this corner of the multiverse is very different from our own.

This teaser is an in-universe recruitment video for Helios Aerospace, the private company that beat both the U.S. and the Soviet Union to Mars. Happy Valley is the name of the Martian colony, and it’s also undergone some significant changes in the time jump to season 4. By 2003, “the focus of the space program has turned to the capture and mining of extremely valuable, mineral-rich asteroids that could change the future of both Earth and Mars. But simmering tensions between the residents of the now-sprawling international base threaten to undo everything they are working toward.”

Hijack season one ending, explained
Sam in his seat, talking secretly to the passenger next to him in a scene from Hijack.

Hijack is a high-octane British thriller that ranks among the best shows on Apple TV+. It’s about a plane that takes off for a seven-hour journey from Dubai to London. But things take a turn for the worst when a group of hijackers wielding guns reveal themselves. No one needs to get hurt, but things are going to be hairy until they land. Sam (Idris Elba), a talented business negotiator aboard the flight, finds that he can use his boardroom skills to try and keep the peace. Or so he thinks.

The story is told in a similar real-time fashion to the popular series 24, with each of the seven episodes covering an hour, minute by minute. We see what’s going on in the plane while simultaneously following law enforcement and political officers on the ground trying to figure out what, if anything, is happening and how to stop it.

Yep, Messi has made MLS Season Pass even more popular
A Lionel Messi promo for MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.

If for some reason you had any doubt as to whether Lionel Messi joining Inter Miami has helped Major League Soccer overall, and Apple's MLS Season Pass streaming service in particular, the answer is a resounding yes.

Apple today announced that the three most-viewed matches on MLS Season Pass came between July 19 and July 26. While it didn't give any better fidelity than that (and hasn't all season), it did say that the broadcasts were "roughly split" between the English and Spanish options.

David S. Goyer and the Foundation cast on season 2 of the Apple TV+ sci-fi show
Lee Pace stares into the distance while another man looks at him in Foundation.

David S. Goyer told his writers before starting work on season 2 of Foundation that "the training wheels are off." Foundation, the sci-fi drama co-created by Goyer and Josh Friedman that's based on Isaac Asimov's book series, returns to Apple TV+ for its second season on July 14. With so much exposition and worldbuilding in season 1, Goyer, the showrunner on Foundation, and his team were happy to "dive right in and start the story" to begin season 2.

It has been two years since the season 1 finale, but more than a century has passed in the series' timeline. The impending Second Crisis is on the horizon, with the galaxy's fate in the hands of "crucial individuals" that transcend time and space. Foundation stars Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, Lee Pace as Brother Day, Lou Llobell as Gaal Dornick, Leah Harvey as Salvor Hardin, Laura Birn as Demerzel, Terrence Mann as Brother Dusk, and Cassian Bilton as Brother Dawn.
