Star City is currently streaming in Australia on Apple TV, and in the US on Apple TV, and it earns its premise rather than just borrowing genre trappings. The 1-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. With 58 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Rhys Ifans anchors it with a performance that grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Start it on Apple TV whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Star City keeps coming up in conversation. Star City treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. Step into a thrilling chapter inspired by For All Mankind. Same alt-history universe. Different perspective: the Soviet Union's. Rhys Ifans and Anna Maxwell Martin lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. It was aired in 2026. What separates Star City from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

Star City is satisfying on multiple levels — something to watch and something to think about after. Fans of For All Mankind will recognise the sensibility here immediately. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Rhys Ifans's performance is the anchor the more ambitious moments need. The world-building pays off in ways you will not anticipate on a first watch.

Star City is currently airing new episodes, created by Ben Nedivi, Matt Wolpert and Ronald D. Moore — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
