Top Apple TV Plus Shows of 2024: Your Ultimate Streaming Guide

Discover Apple TV Plus: The Best Streaming Destination for Science Fiction

If nothing else, 2024 was the year Apple TV Plus firmly cemented itself as one of the best places to stream science fiction shows. This year, in particular, had a breadth of options, with sci-fi series ranging from cozy mysteries to old-fashioned noirs. If you’re looking for something new to watch on Apple TV Plus, here are a few great places to start.

1. Constellation

This series stood out among Apple’s other sci-fi shows thanks to its dark tone. Constellation follows an astronaut named Jo (Noomi Rapace), who survives an evacuation of the International Space Station only to return to an Earth seemingly very different from the one she left. It’s the kind of show that leaves you guessing as to what is really real — and as the vibe turns even darker, that question becomes even harder to answer.

2. Dark Matter

Based on the novel by Blake Crouch, Dark Matter is yet another story about parallel universes. But don’t tune out yet: even if you’re sick of the multiverse, this is worth checking out. The show follows a physicist named Jason (Joel Edgerton) who manages to kidnap himself. One version of Jason lives a quiet, happy, yet somewhat unfulfilled life as a college professor. But in another world, he’s massively successful yet completely lonely — and will do anything to fix the latter.

3. Disclaimer

From Alfonso Cuarón, the director behind Gravity and Children of Men, Disclaimer is a psychological thriller starring Cate Blanchett as a journalist dealing with revelations about her past brought to light by a mysterious manuscript. The show plays with truth and time, as it explores not only the contents of the document but also how it has impacted everyone in the present.

4. Pachinko

The first season of Pachinko did an incredible job of adapting Min Jin Lee’s historical drama while adding its own twist, creating a multilingual narrative that jumps around in time. Season 2 simply continues this, delving further into a family story that spans four generations, focusing on two distinct periods in the family’s history: Osaka in 1945, and Tokyo in 1989.

5. Severance

Okay, this isn’t a new series, but with season 2 on the way in January, now is the time to catch up — or refresh yourself — on this twisted workplace thriller. The show is centered on Lumon Industries, a massive tech conglomerate that utilizes an experimental procedure for its workers. They sever themselves into two halves: one in the outside world and another trapped in an unending office hellscape. Season 1 set up a number of mysteries, so the new episodes will have a lot to answer for.

6. Silo

On the surface, Silo looks like yet another post-apocalyptic drama, all gray and brown and dour. But it’s actually an excellent mystery that felt small in season 1 but has expanded as the show continues to grow in scale. The first two seasons only cover the first book in Hugh Howey’s trilogy, so there’s still much to explore.

7. Sunny

Sunny is a murder mystery with a retrofuturistic twist. When her husband and son go missing following a plane crash, Suzie Sakamoto (Rashida Jones) has almost no information to start investigating until she comes across the titular bot Sunny (Joanna Sotomura). Despite her hatred for machines, Suzie and Sunny form an odd couple buddy story as they attempt to uncover the truth.

8. John Sugar

Private investigator John Sugar (Colin Farrell) embodies the classic PI archetype: cool car, sharp suit, and a taste for whiskey. He’s the best at finding missing people, which makes for an excellent noir series. However, as the plot unfolds, a big twist transforms it into an equally interesting piece of science fiction, promising intriguing developments in its second season.
