10 Best Sci-Fi Series on Hulu You Need to Watch Now

10. Solar Opposites (2020–2025)

We follow a group of aliens stuck on Earth who keep trying and failing to fit into human society. The show leans into silly situations, quick humor, and odd side plots that turn into surprisingly deep arcs. You watch them complain about Earth while slowly becoming attached to it. The world inside their walls becomes its own wild story that fans love. It’s irreverent, bright, and full of unexpected moments that keep you coming back.

9. Futurama (1999–2003; 2008–2013; 2023–present)

We follow Fry as he wakes up in the far future and joins a crew that’s somehow both dysfunctional and lovable. The jokes fly fast, but the show surprises you with emotional moments that sneak up on you. Episodes swing between sci-fi nonsense and real heart, giving us characters who feel more human than half the live-action shows out there. Lines from the show still shape everyday memes and quotes. It’s weird in the best way, and that’s why we keep coming back.

8. The Orville (2017–2019; 2022)

We board a spaceship where the crew tackles big questions, strange planets, and the awkwardness of working with your ex. The show starts light but soon shifts into thoughtful sci-fi storytelling with a lot to say about where we’re headed. You get the jokes, but you also get deeper ideas about identity, relationships, and humanity. It pays tribute to classic Star Trek while carving its own space. By season three, it becomes a surprisingly grounded exploration of the future.

7. Misfits (2009–2013)

We join a group of teens doing community service who suddenly gain powers after a strange storm. They don’t become heroes; they stumble, swear, argue, and try to clean up the messes they create. The show mixes humor with real emotional moments, letting us see them grow even when they’re making questionable choices. Early episodes feel rough around the edges, but the series finds its voice fast. It’s a messy, entertaining look at what happens when the least responsible people get abilities.

6. Lost (2004–2010)

We crash-land on a strange island with a group of survivors who discover that nothing around them follows normal rules. The mysteries stack up fast, and the characters pull you in as they unravel secrets about the island and themselves. The show sparked massive theories, debates, and rewatches all through its run. Even years later, there’s still something addictive about trying to piece everything together. Whatever your feelings about the finale, the journey remains unforgettable.

5. Legion (2017–2019)

We follow David Haller, whose entire life shifts when he learns his “hallucinations” are actually psychic powers. You feel his confusion and fear as he tries to separate reality from everything happening in his head. The show mixes superhero concepts with surreal visuals and bold storytelling choices. It asks us to sit inside David’s mind and figure things out with him. Every episode feels like stepping into a dream you’re not sure you’ll fully understand, but you can’t stop watching.

4. Kyle XY (2006–2009)

We meet Kyle, a teen who wakes up with no memories, no instincts, and no belly button, instantly making us wonder what he is and where he came from. As he learns how to live like a human, we watch him form real bonds with the family that takes him in. The mystery deepens as we see how powerful his mind actually is. Each season builds his world in bigger and stranger ways. Even with its early ending, the show left a mark on fans who grew up with it.

3. The Jetsons (1962–1963; 1985–1987)

We visit a future where flying cars, robot maids, and moving sidewalks are part of daily life. The show turns predictions into playful family stories that still feel fun decades later. Watching the Jetsons juggle gadgets and get into trouble makes the future seem both familiar and new. It became an early cultural touchstone for imagining what’s ahead. Even now, we compare new tech to what the Jetsons had.

2. Devs (2020)

Devs opens with the suspicious death of a first-day employee at a powerful Silicon Valley company, and we follow the investigation as everything around it grows stranger. Nick Offerman gives us a quieter, unsettling kind of leader, while Sonoya Mizuno grounds the story with determination and emotion. The show mixes science, tension, and philosophy in a way that keeps us engaged from the first episode to the last.

1. Firefly (2002)

We drop into a future where the tech keeps getting sleeker, but life doesn’t feel any easier. Through Mal and his crew, we see what it’s like to survive on the edges of an empire that never loosens its grip. The show blends old-school Western grit with space-age grit in a way that pulls you right in. Every episode feels like one more chance for the team to keep flying. Knowing it ended too soon makes each story hit even harder.
