Apple TV+'s For All Mankind returned for Season 4 with a cast of characters and actors filled with new and familiar faces.
The sci-fi drama stars Joel Kinnaman (The Suicide Squad) and delves headfirst into an alternate history with a global space race that never ended.
The latest season takes a time jump into 2003, skipping forward a whopping eight years from the last season that left the crew stranded on Mars.
Every Major Character & Actor in For All Mankind Season 4
Joel Kinnaman - Edward “Ed” Baldwin
Joel Kinnaman's Ed Baldwin is one of NASA's top scientists working in the '60s space race alongside the likes of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong.
Season 3 ended on a tragic note for Baldwin as his ex-wife Karen met her demise and he was left stranded on Mars. Of course, Season 4 is kicking off a full eight years later, so fans will be eagerly waiting to see how time, grief, and the quest for survival have impacted Baldwin.
Kinnaman is best known for his time in the DCEU as Rick Flag in both Suicide Squad movies, but he has also featured in House of Cards, RoboCop, Altered Carbon, and much more.
Jodi Balfour - Ellen Wilson
Jodi Balfour's astronaut-turned-president Ellen Wilson is returning in a dialed back role for Season 4 as she will no longer be a series regular for the new episodes.
This comes despite the massive storyline set up for Wilson in Season 3 as she came out as lesbian to the general public and faced pressure to resign amid the threat of impeachment proceedings. That arc ought to be resolved in Season 4, although the eight-year time jump means she probably won't be in office anymore.
Balfour recently appeared in another Apple TV+ series, Ted Lasso, in which she played Keely's female love interest Jack Danvers.
Wrenn Schmidt - Margo Madison
Wrenn Schmidt's Margo Madison has been with For All Mankind since the very beginning as a talented engineer and flight controller.

Schmidt has appeared in Jordan Peele's Nope, Michael Bay's 13 Hours, and more.
Cynthy Wu - Kelly Baldwin
The Vietnamese adopted daughter of Ed Baldwin, Cynthy Wu's Kelly Baldwin found herself as a single mother to a son who was born in space, with the father in question being her Soviet love interest Alexei Poletov.

Outside of For All Mankind, some of Wu's past roles include minor appearances in Kong: Skull Island and the Netflix show Beef.
