Masters of Science Fiction (Season 1)

Masters of Science Fiction (2007) is an American anthology series you can watch online on iFILM, produced for ABC and hosted by Stephen Hawking. Six stand-alone episodes, each adapting a short story from a significant science fiction writer — Harlan Ellison and Robert Sheckley among them.

No recurring cast, no connecting arc: each episode is essentially a self-contained short film. The ensemble includes Malcolm McDowell, Judy Davis, Sam Waterston, Brian Dennehy, and Sean Astin across different installments; Jonathan Frakes directed one segment. Only four of the six episodes reached US airwaves — the remaining two were broadcast internationally and are rarely seen in America. Stream all episodes of Masters of Science Fiction online on iFILM.
