For All Mankind’s latest time jump will come with a couple growth spurts.

The Apple TV+ alt-history drama has enlisted The Summer I Turned Pretty’s Sean Kaufman to play an older version of Kelly Baldwin and Alexei Poletov’s son, Alex, our sister site Deadline reports. The character, who is named after his late father, was seen in Season 4 as an eight-year-old (portrayed by Ezrah Lin). Per tradition, the series jumped forward in time at the end of its last finale from 2003 to 2012.

Exclusive: Sean Kaufman (The Summer I Turned Pretty), Ruby Cruz (Bottoms) and Ines Asserson (Royalteen) are set as series regulars in Season 5 of Apple TV+’s For All Mankind. They join previously announced new series regulars Mireille Enos and Costa Ronin and returning cast Joel Kinnaman, Wrenn Schmidt, Krys Marshall, Edi Gathegi, Cynthy Wu, Coral Peña, Toby Kebbell, Tyner Rushing, Daniel Stern and Svetlana Efremova.

Season 4 of For All Mankind picked up eight years after the events of Season 3, when Happy Valley rapidly expanded its footprint on Mars by turning former foes into partners. Now 2003, the focus of the space program turns to the capture and mining of extremely valuable, mineral-rich asteroids that could change the future of both Earth and Mars. But simmering tensions between the residents of the now-sprawling international base threaten to undo everything they were working toward.

*Nsync has returned to the scene in more ways than one. In September 2023, the beloved boy band presented the Best Pop award to Taylor Swift at the VMAs — 10 years after the five men last gathered for a public appearance.

Then, in November 2023, *Nsync walked the purple carpet to celebrate the premiere of Trolls Band Together. They recorded “Better Place” for the animated musical comedy’s soundtrack.

'N Sync singer Joey Fatone's flirtations with acting have had a definite effect on him - he was caught kissing his married My Big Fat Greek Wedding co- star Nia Vardalos. On September 7 - just two days after the ninth wedding anniversary of Vardalos and TV actor Ian Gomez - the pair were at New York bar the Cutting Room, along with their Wedding co-star John Corbett and Chelsea Clinton. After the 25-year-old "Bye Bye Bye" star jumped onstage and performed with the band, Fatone and Vardalos, 39, "were making out in the back of the hallway by the band's dressing room," eyewitnesses tell American magazine Us Weekly. A source says, "They were at it for about 10 minutes - in the plain sight of a few people." Joey is currently dating long-time love Kelly Baldwin, who gave birth to their first child Brianna last March.
