Sign in to your Collider account Apple TV's library has become a favorite for sci-fi lovers, offering a steady stream of high-budget, thought-provoking originals. Rather than relying on algorithms, the platform invests heavily in ambitious world-building and literary adaptations. Viewers can explore the alternate-history space race of For All Mankind, the unsettling corporate mysteries of Severance, and the sprawling galactic politics of Foundation. Hits like Silo, Dark Matter, and Pluribus further prove the streamer's commitment to smart storytelling. By giving creators the resources and multi-season security needed to tell complete stories, Apple TV has firmly established itself as the premier destination for modern science fiction. The streamer's storytelling genius was visible from the word go. It launched with two sci-fi shows that have taken different paths. For All Mankind, the expansive space drama starring Joel Kinnaman, has aired for seven years, with the final season coming soon. Meanwhile, the other sci-fi series See concluded three years ago after three action-packed seasons. While For All Mankind was an immediate critical hit, See struggled to show its vision, especially in its first season. Professional reviewers didn't appreciate the violence that was part of the Jason Momoa-led thriller. Viewers, on the other hand, loved the world-building, performances, and gore, giving the season an 83% score versus 44% for critics on Rotten Tomatoes. The series built a cult following that saw it through three seasons before it concluded in 2022. Now the series is once again proving itself a fan favorite after surging in streaming for the past several weeks. The surge has coincided with Apple TV's expansion into over fifty more countries, and based on where the show is trending, it has found an entirely new audience three years after the finale. It is ranked eighth globally by FlixPatrol at the time of writing.

DunePaul AtreidesArrakis · Dune, 2021The hero who knows exactly what becoming one will cost. You carry a weight most people would crumble under: the knowledge of what you're capable of, and the burden of what you might have to become.Why This Is You You see further ahead than others and you plan accordingly, even when the vision frightens you. You are driven by loyalty to your people and a sense of destiny you didn't ask for but can't escape. Paul Atreides is not simply a hero. He is someone who understands the cost of power and chooses to bear it anyway. That gravity, that willingness to carry what others won't, is exactly you. From The Collider File Dune: Part Three closes Denis Villeneuve's trilogy on December 18, 2026, adapting Dune Messiah. Messiah is the book that turns on its own hero, which is why Villeneuve waited to film it. Sees It ComingCarries The WeightArrakis Star TrekCaptain KirkUSS Enterprise · Star Trek, 1966The captain who refuses to accept that a no-win scenario exists. You lead with instinct, warmth, and an absolute refusal to accept a no-win scenario, because you've always believed there's a third option nobody else has thought of yet.Why This Is You You take the mission seriously without ever taking yourself too seriously. Your crew would follow you anywhere, not because you demand it, but because you've earned it. Kirk's genius isn't tactical, it's human. He reads people, bends rules with purpose, and wills outcomes into existence through sheer conviction. That combination of warmth, audacity, and relentless optimism is unmistakably yours. From The Collider File Paul Wesley's Kirk took the center chair in Strange New Worlds season 4, which premiered July 23, 2026. The producers have confirmed Kirk stays with the show through its final season. No-Win ScenarioCrew FirstStarfleet Star WarsPrincess LeiaThe Rebellion · A New Hope, 1977The one who holds the line when the line is all that's left. You are the kind of person who holds the line when everyone else is losing faith, not because you're fearless, but because giving up simply isn't something you're capable of.Why This Is You You lead through conviction. Your voice carries because your belief is unshakable. You gave up everything ordinary the moment you chose the cause, and you've never looked back. Leia is not a supporting character in her own story. She is the moral center of the entire rebellion. That same fierce, principled, unbreakable core is what defines you. From The Collider File Carrie Fisher was 19 when she shot A New Hope, and Leia's first scene in the saga is a refusal. Lucasfilm ruled out recreating her digitally, so her last appearance was built from footage she had already filmed. Holds The LineThe CauseRebellion AlienEllen RipleyThe Nostromo · Alien, 1979No speeches. Just the person still standing at the end. You are not reckless, not grandiose, and not particularly interested in being anyone's hero. You just refuse to stop when it matters.Why This Is You You see threats clearly, you document the truth even when no one listens, and when the time comes you handle it yourself. Ripley's heroism is earned, not performed. She doesn't have a speech. She has a plan and the nerve to see it through. You share her composure under the worst possible pressure, and her refusal to pretend the monster isn't there. When it counts, you don't flinch. That's everything. From The Collider File FX renewed Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth for a second season, pushing the franchise onto the home planet. Sigourney Weaver has said she is seriously weighing a return to Ripley after reading a new script. No SpeechesHandles ItNostromo Mad MaxMax RockatanskyThe Wasteland · Mad Max, 1979Lost everything, kept going anyway. You have been through fire that would break most people, and what came out the other side is something the world underestimates at its peril.Why This Is You You don't ask for help, don't need validation, and don't wait for anyone to tell you the rules no longer apply. Your loyalty, when it finally arrives, is absolute, but it's earned in silence and tested in action, not in words. Max is not a nihilist. He is someone who lost everything and found, against his will, that he still has something worth protecting. That bruised, stubborn, ultimately human core is exactly yours. From The Collider File George Miller has a script for the next Mad Max, The Wasteland, but has said only that we will see whether it gets made. The 1979 original was shot for a few hundred thousand Australian dollars and became one of the most profitable films ever made.

Created by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, See is a dystopian sci-fi thriller that leans into its thriller elements. It is set in a distant future where humanity has lost the sense of sight and has adapted to this world. Society has regressed, religiosity has risen, and sight is the enemy. The Payan Kingdom has outlawed sight, and any child who is born with it — or even rumored to have it — is supposed to be eliminated. But Momoa's Baba Voss is not about to let anyone kill his children, who were born with sight; he would rather kill them first. See tells a tale of a brutal world with immersive worldbuilding and thrilling action. All seasons of See are available to stream on Apple TV. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
