Discover the most popular sci-fi dramas

Sci-fi dramas offer heartfelt and emotional stories set in fascinating parallel worlds or potential futures.

Must see sci-fi dramas you might have missed

These sci-fi dramas have flown under the radar and are must-see movies for anyone interested in the genre. Robert Pattinson gives a brilliant leading performance in High Life, while The Assessment offers an unsettling vision of the future with Alicia Vikander stealing the show. Under the Skin and Ad Astra are two very different slow-burning sci-fi dramas with star power from Scarlett Johansson and Brad Pitt.
