Star City Review (2026–present): Is It Worth Watching?

Is Star City worth watching?

Yes — Star City is worth watching, holding a 97/100 Celluloid Editorial Rating and 78% Audience Snapshot on Celluloid. Its 82% Celluloid Score combines Celluloid editorial, Metascore (80), IMDb (7.5/10), and aggregated fan rating (76%), with audience sentiment shown separately.

Created by Matt Wolpert, Ben Nedivi & Ronald D. Moore, Star City ran 1 season, 8 episodes on Apple TV+ in English, from United States. Star City is still in production, so the story is not finished — new seasons may shift where it lands.

What is Star City about?

The mirror side of For All Mankind’s alternate space race: in a history where cosmonaut Alexei Leonov beat Apollo to the lunar surface in 1969, the victorious Soviet program must keep winning at any cost. Inside the closed military city that forges its heroes, the legendary Chief Designer, his rising cosmonauts and their families navigate triumph, propaganda and the KGB’s constant gaze — where a defective valve or a careless word can end a career, or a life.

Celluloid verdict: A spinoff with its own gravity — Star City trades For All Mankind’s NASA optimism for hushed corridors and creeping dread, and the result is arguably the franchise’s most gripping stretch yet, led by a tremendous Rhys Ifans. The cast is led by Rhys Ifans, Anna Maxwell Martin, Agnes O’Casey, Alice Englert, Solly McLeod, among others.
