Apple TV+ has clearly decided to invest in top-shelf science fiction as a defining pillar of its offering – and overall, it's put together an impressive slate. Some shows have been outright successes, and where others have missed, there's at least been a refreshingly grand artistic swing.
We've been watching closely. Here's our ranking of the current Apple TV+ Sci-Fi category, running from worst to best.
Readers often ask us for follow-ups on memorable stories. This article was originally published in 2024 but it has been re-edited and updated with new information current as of March 3, 2025. Enjoy!
Honorable Mentions and coming soon
On top of the 12 shows listed, there's a bunch of others we'd certainly call sci-fi-adjacent. Sugar, Shining Girls, Calls, The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey and The Changeling all have sci-fi or fantasy themes, and more importantly, all are worth your time if you are interested. Other shows on the comedy tip like The Big Door Prize, Sunny and Hello Tomorrow also dip into the world of science fiction.
And looking to the future, there are some more ambitious sci-fi productions on the way, including a long-awaited adaptation of William Gibson’s Neuromancer, and an adaptation of the quirky android novel Murderbot (coming very soon, early 2025).
