Apple TV Will Continue Its Sci-Fi Dominance In 2027

Published Nov 13, 2026, 3:30 PM EST Zach Moser has been writing for ScreenRant since 2022, covering movies, classic TV, and streaming TV. His areas of expertise cover a wide range of genres with a particular interest in horror and drama, and the conversations around the TV and film industry. When he's not covering the latest film releases or chronicling the latest season of a new show, he's writing humor pieces for McSweeney's Internet Tendency, Slackjaw, and Points In Case or working on short stories and his second novel. Apple TV is the place for sci-fi, and it will continue its dominance of the genre through 2027 and beyond. Apple TV is still one of the younger streaming apps, and for a while, when it was premiering shows like Truth Be Told and The Mosquito Coast, things weren't looking too good for the fledgling streamer. Then, slowly, they started to produce more hits, and then more, and now, Apple TV can promise higher-quality shows than almost any other streamer, save maybe HBO Max. What's more unexpected is what genre Apple TV seems to specialize in: sci-fi. Seemingly out of nowhere, Apple TV has become the place for excellent sci-fi storytelling. Apple TV isn't like Shudder, made specifically for one genre, and yet, it has a preponderance of science fiction TV shows. Maybe this shouldn't come as a total surprise considering that in 2019, when the streamer debuted, Apple TV produced See and For All Mankind as two of the four shows it premiered to audiences with. See has only recently been revisited as a success, but For All Mankind is still going. Over the years, Apple TV has built a catalog of some of the best science fiction TV shows you can find on any streaming service. It doesn't seem prepared to lose that title in 2027 or after either, considering what it has on its slate. Upcoming Apple TV Sci-Fi Shows Apple TV has a big slate of upcoming science fiction shows for the foreseeable future. Most are new seasons of existing shows, but only two are confirmed as the final seasons, which means we could be watching these shows for years and years. For All Mankind began in 2019, and it's still not over, after all. At the moment, there are only two shows confirmed to premiere in 2027, but that's likely to change, and the other show's premiere dates just haven't been revealed yet. The fourth and final season of Silo is set to begin on July 9, 2027, and Neuromancer, the cyberpunk drama based on William Gibson's 1984 novel, will premiere on January 22, 2027. Speaking of For All Mankind, the series has been renewed for a sixth and final season, though the premiere date is still unknown. Foundation, Severance, Pluribus, and Murderbot have all been renewed as well, though again, the premiere dates are still unknown. The full list of upcoming Apple TV sci-fi shows can be found here: Neuromancer (1st season premieres January 22, 2027) Silo (4th and final season premieres July 9, 2027) For All Mankind (6th and final season; air date TBD) Foundation (4th season; air date TBD) Murderbot (2nd season; air date TBD) Pluribus (2nd season; air date TBD) Severance (3rd season; air date TBD) Untitled Monarch: Legacy of Monsters spin-off (1st season; air date TBD) An untitled spinoff to Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is also supposedly in the works. While it's unlikely each of these shows will have something new in 2027, there's no doubt many of them will. Considering each of these is either one of the best science fiction TV shows around, or has the capacity to be, Apple TV subscribers should have a new embarrassment of riches soon. There's More Than Sci-Fi On Apple TV Image via MovieStillsDB To be sure, Apple TV is not solely defined by its science fiction TV shows. The streamer offers excellent series across a variety of genres. Nocturne, Your Friends and Neighbors, and Slow Horses are massively popular, and in comedy and horror, shows like Ted Lasso, Loot, and Widow's Bay are still going strong. It's been an impressive trajectory for Apple TV. It was once the most forgotten of the major streaming services, and now, no doubt thanks to its large catalog of sci-fi shows, it has the same prestige attached to its name as any of them. Apple TV
