Season 12

Watch Red Dwarf Season 12 online on iFILM — six episodes from 2017, more of the British space comedy that has run since 1988. The last human alive and his odd little crew keep landing in trouble at every stop along the way.

The run opens at a science centre where history's worst villains have been "cured" of evil, which goes about as well as you'd expect. Kryten gets tempted away by a ship of rogue androids who want him to break his own programming. The crew finds a vessel where any form of criticism is banned, then their own machines go on strike and Kryten and Rimmer run against each other to represent them. A wildly overdue software update reveals the Jupiter Mining Corp has been quietly sold off. And in the closer, Rimmer grabs a Quantum Skipper and sets off across the multiverse hunting for a reality where he isn't such a loser.

Doug Naylor aims at easy targets — corporations, elections, outrage culture — but plays them for the joke, never the lecture. This is the most recent classic-format series so far, and fans agree it holds the line. Stream Red Dwarf Season 12 online on iFILM.
