Not only is there a Season 5 coming later this year, but there's a spin-off show 'Star City' being produced.

Didn't love this season overall. I feel like they wrote themselves into a corner somewhat. Previous seasons had these big leaps from landing on the Moon, to small Moon base, to permanent Moon colony, to Mars missions. But at this point the only big leaps left would be going to the outer planets (which there isn't really a reason to do as a manned mission), or going to other stars, which even in this timeline of faster advances in space tech is still far out of reach. So instead we get bogged down in local Mars base politics. Don't get me wrong, I like the Cold War politics aspect of this show, but playing out the 20th century coal company town vs. unions story on Mars just feels too small. It could have been a cool side plot, if there was something more interesting going on in the main story. There just isn't much of the spirit of discovery this season, I want some cool science man! We get a very small amount of time with Kelly doing some actual science but this show doesn't want to veer off into pure science fiction so it's not like they'll actually show her finding life on Mars.
