My god. If last year’s “Friendship” introduced us to the idea of Paul Rudd as a meteorologist slash musician, then “Power Ballad” doubles down to give us Rudd alongside Nick Jonas as the two play washed up singers, who go through the ups and downs of musical collaboration and friendship.

- Star City – Trailer
With five seasons out already for “For All Mankind”, a series that features an alternate history where the US and NASA were not the first to land on the moon, Apple TV has announced a spinoff series called “Star City” that takes a step back in this timeline in order to focus on the lives of the people in the Soviet Union’s space program.
Release Date: On Apple TV on May 29, 2026
Synopsis: A bold new chapter inspired by the critically acclaimed space-race drama, “For All Mankind,” “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 humankind forward.
