What year is For All Mankind Season 3 set in?

For All Mankind Season 3 sees another time jump, but this one isn’t to the Season 2 post-credit scene. What time period does the season cover?

The second season of For All Mankind saw a time jump to where the Season 1 post-credit scene took place. We initially assumed that the third season would see the same thing happen. While a time jump did happen in For All Mankind Season 3, it wasn’t quite the time jump that we expected.

We expected a time jump to 1995, which was where the post-credit scene at the end of the Season 2 finale took place. Instead, we jumped just a little earlier than that to 1992.

For All Mankind Season 3 timeline

The story picks up in 1992, eight years after the main events of the Season 2 finale. We had to say goodbye to some beloved characters in the second season, and we certainly feel it at the start of the third season.

There are some bonus videos on Apple TV+ if you want to see everything that connects the two seasons. There are nine bonus videos that connect the seasons.

Throughout the season, the show covers a couple of years. It ends in around 1995, which is where the third season clip takes place. Of course, it ends with another dramatic and heartbreaking end. This show can’t go a season without losing a character or two.

The season as a whole takes the focus of the space race off the moon and onto Mars. It’s time to find a way to live on the Red Planet. The fourth season is set to take place in 2003, bringing us another time jump. It just so happens that there is a flash-foward end-credit scene at the end of the For All Mankind Season 3 finale which takes place in that year.

For All Mankind is available to stream on Apple TV+.
