If you really love sci-fi shows, you have to admit that Apple TV+ is a streaming service that is worth noticing, even though it didn’t make a big noise. While the whole world is discussing the best Star Trek or disagreeing with Netflix’s choices, Apple has been less loud but with a very strong hand, picking out a really amazing selection of sci-fi shows. On Apple TV+, these 10 best sci-fi series, in fact, your next binge-watching, ranked and waiting for you, are streaming now, ranging from brain-bending mysteries to alternate-history fripperies.
10. Sunny
If you prefer your sci-fi a little dark, a little humorous, and a little melancholy, Sunny is a secret treasure. Rashida Jones plays an American expat in near-future Kyoto whose life is turned around when her husband and son disappear in a plane crash. Her sole companion is a relentlessly cheerful AI robot. Blending loss, suspense, and understated humor, the series is a one-season treat that’s quirky, sentimental, and well worth your time.
9. Hello Tomorrow!
Enter a world in which 1950s optimism meets futuristic moon real estate fraud. Billy Crudup stars as a smooth-talking lunar salesman in this retro-futuristic dramedy. With its Jetsons-meets-Mad Men look, Hello Tomorrow! Dazzles with style, witty humor, and just enough charm to make you wistful for a future that never was.
8. Constellation
Just as fans of cerebral, unsettling sci-fi would hope, Constellation does not disappoint. Noomi Rapace stars as an astronaut who journeys home to Earth only to find reality differs from what she knew. Merging psychological thriller and sci-fi, this one-season series is a drama about memory, identity, and paranoia, with twists and imagery that haunt long after the credits fade.
7. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
Monster lovers, rejoice. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters brings the Monsterverse to TV. Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell play the same character in two different timelines, delivering epic battles and nostalgic touches to Godzilla fans. With season two in the works, it’s a must for anyone who loves giant creatures and visual spectacle.
6. Invasion
Invasion takes a different direction with the alien apocalypse. Instead of hip action combat, it focuses on ordinary people everywhere struggling with the breakdown of society. The aliens are often in the background, but human drama—fear, determination, and anarchy—is center stage, and so it is a chilling and thought-provoking reimagining of first contact.
5. Dark Matter
Multiverse storytelling is everywhere, but Dark Matter makes it personal. Joel Edgerton stars as a physicist pulled into an alternate universe of his existence, with no escape but to confront what could have been and his archenemy—himself. Renewed tofora eries for sea ason, the show continues to provide mind-bending twists and existential thrills.
4. Silo
Dystopian fiction meets gripping mystery in Silo. Set in a massive underground bunker housing 10,000 people cut off from the toxic surface, Rebecca Ferguson leads a cast navigating secrets, betrayals, and layered storytelling. With multiple seasons confirmed, it’s a world you’ll want to explore episode after episode.
3. For All Mankind
What if the Soviets got to the moon first? All Mankind takes that as its starting point and develops into a sprawling alternate history of ambition, politics, and lots of rocket launches. Each season leaps ahead a decade, into new eras and new frontiers, and so it’s both a reimagining of history and an epic human drama.
2. Foundation
Taking Isaac Asimov’s classic novels in hand was always considered impossible, but Foundation sets the doubters straight. The visually stunning, intellectually demanding, epic in scope story spans galaxy politics and predictive science like psychohistory. A true standout of Apple’s catalog, this space opera is ambitious, challenging to the mind, and a must-see.
1. Severance
Topping the list is Severance, arguably Apple TV+’s crowning achievement. Imagine splitting your work and personal memories so you’re two versions of yourself. With Ben Stiller directing, the show is a sharp, darkly comic take on corporate life, blending Black Mirror vibes, office satire, and psychological horror. Absurd, tense, and thought-provoking, Severance is the kind of show that demands immediate binge-watching.
Apple TV+ may not have the flashiest brand recognition in sci-fi yet, but these 10 shows prove it’s a platform worth paying attention to. Whether you’re in the mood for existential dread, monster battles, or mind-bending mysteries, there’s something here for every fan of the genre.
