After Earth: Becoming Martian | The Evolution of Humanity on Mars

What happens after humanity finally makes Mars habitable?

**After Earth: Becoming Martian** is a 12-episode speculative science documentary following humanity across nearly two thousand years of life on the Red Planet.

The journey begins with a cold, barren Mars and humanity's attempt to transform an alien world.

Atmospheric engineering changes the sky.

Water returns.

Rain begins to fall.

Life takes root.

Cities rise through ancient Martian landscapes.

But as generations are born beneath just **38% of Earth's gravity**, another transformation begins.

**Mars starts changing us.**

Human bodies adapt to lower gravity. Bones, muscles, breathing, movement, and physical proportions begin to change. Architecture evolves around new bodies. Medicine becomes biological adaptation. Eventually, humanity must confront a profound question:

**Should we continue changing Mars to fit humans—or allow humans to change to fit Mars?**

Across 12 connected episodes, follow the complete journey from terraforming and the first Martian ecosystems to low-gravity cities, human adaptation, engineered evolution, and the emergence of a mature Martian civilization.

And when a human shaped by Mars finally returns to Earth, humanity discovers just how far it has traveled.

**Humanity transformed Mars.**

**Mars transformed humanity.**
