Here's a sneak peek at the series opener of Apple TV's Star City, along with overviews of the first two episodes. Following that, we have an official image gallery, series overview, rundown of the cast, and more:

Star City Season 1 Episode 1: "The Eyes" – The Soviet Union races to beat the Americans again with a high-stakes mission to put the first woman on the Moon.

Star City Season 1 Episode 2: "A Bear on a Chain" – Anastasia is thrust onto the world stage as Lyudmilla pursues information.

The "For All Mankind" spinoff 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.

The cast of Star City includes Rhys Ifans (House of the Dragon), Anna Maxwell Martin (Motherland), Agnes O'Casey (Black Doves), Alice Englert (Bad Behaviour), Solly McLeod (House of the Dragon), Adam Nagaitis (Chernobyl), Ruby Ashbourne Serkis (I, Jack Wright), Josef Davies (Andor), and Priya Kansara (Bridgerton).

Apple TV's Star City is created by Nedivi, Wolpert, and Moore. Wolpert and Nedivi serve as showrunners and executive produce alongside Moore and Maril Davis of Tall Ship Productions, as well as Andrew Chambliss and Steve Oster. The streaming series is produced for Apple TV by Sony Pictures Television.
