29 Mar
Summary
- Sean Kaufman stars in Apple TV+'s For All Mankind Season 5.
- He notes a significant tonal shift from The Summer I Turned Pretty.
- Kaufman previously held guest roles on several popular TV shows.
Actor Sean Kaufman, recognized from The Summer I Turned Pretty, is now part of the cast for For All Mankind's fifth season on Apple TV+. This new role represents a significant departure from the teen romance genre, moving into a more serious science fiction narrative.
The recent time jump in For All Mankind's fifth season introduced Kaufman as the older Alex, son of Kelly Baldwin, a stark contrast to his character Steven in The Summer I Turned Pretty. He expressed a desire to play roles that feel more "uncomfortable" and different after his extensive work on the previous series.
Kaufman's career path includes numerous guest appearances on shows like Law & Order: SVU, Manifest, and FBI: Most Wanted. He views his past roles, including a minor part on Law & Order, as a crucial rite of passage before achieving regular roles on prominent series.
New episodes of For All Mankind Season 5 are releasing Fridays on Apple TV+ until late May. The series also has a forthcoming spinoff, Star City, focusing on the Soviet Union's perspective of the alternate space race.
