The 25 most epic sci-fi dramas to stream right now: Our critics sift through hundreds of options to choose the shows that are truly out of this world


From zombie apocalypses to Jedi Knights, now is the time to look to the stars. And if the epic Dune sequel isn't enough to wet your appetite, our experts have rounded up 25 great sci-fi shows to watch now.

One of the films saw San Francisco reduced to a smouldering ruin and that's where this exciting, conspiracy-packed ten-part spin-off TV show begins as school teacher Cate (Anna Sawai) discovers her family's connection to the mysterious Monarch organisation, which has seemingly been tracking the monsters for decades. Look out for Hollywood A-lister Salma Hayek and Rob Delaney in the Netflix-spoofing story Joan Is Awful, John Hannah in Loch Henry - which delves into a small Scottish town's very dark secrets - and Aaron Paul and Josh Hartnett in Beyond The Sea, a tense, spacebound and feature-length adventure set in an alternative 1969. The series tracks the impact of rising temperatures from 2037 to 2070, and does so with both an impressive budget and cast - Meryl Streep, Diane Lane, Sienna Miller, Matthew Rhys and Heather Graham are among them (actors love a drama with a cause), with Game Of Thrones' Kit Harington as a tech titan who seems to be doing very well out of it all.
