TV has long been a fertile ground for science and technology fiction. Star Trek alone has prospered mightily on the small screen, even if the first series only gained traction in re-runs. Today, TV networks are combing novels and past movies for new series-based content.

We’re also seeing depictions of current technology, such as robotics and cloning, projected into the near future. This list of TV series proves that there’s a substantial audience for science and tech fiction.
