When it comes to must-see shows, Apple TV shouldn’t be slept on. That especially goes for sci-fi. The Apple-owned streamer may be known for genre standouts like Severance, but beyond that title, there’s a solid roster of science fiction TV shows you should absolutely add to your watchlist.
When Apple TV dropped the «Plus» from its name, the rebrand created naming confusion between its platform and its hardware. Apple’s marketing strategy adds another hurdle to finding quality content. Titles on the streaming platform mostly rely on organic discovery and word of mouth, which makes it harder to know which shows to watch and which to pass on.
Navigating the platform on your own can be fun, but it’s also helpful to have a curated guide, like the one I’ve put together below, to nudge you in the right direction.
You’re here for shows that feature epic world-building, engaging performances and envelope-pushing narratives. The genre TV shows in Apple TV’s content library accomplish all of that. Shows like Pluribus, For All Mankind, Murderbot and Dark Matter immediately come to mind. Heck, you can always give Severance a rewatch while you’re at it.
Below, you’ll find CNET’s guide to the best sci-fi shows to watch on Apple TV right now. This list will be updated regularly, so be sure to bookmark it and visit often.
