1 sequence

Fallout

2024–Prime VideoSci-Fi

Season 1

2 sequences

Severance

2022–Apple TV+Sci-Fi

A man walking through his own head, drawn as a corporate-training diagram that keeps folding back into itself. Oliver Latta's animation, and the best argument in years that a title sequence can be the thesis.

Season 1
Season 2

1 sequence

Silo

2023–Apple TV+Sci-Fi

A cross-section of the silo, descending. The camera falls the length of a buried structure the characters spend the series failing to understand, which tells you the shape of the thing before the plot does.

Season 1

1 sequence

Foundation

2021–Apple TV+Sci-Fi

Mathematics rendered as architecture — the Prime Radiant's equations building and dissolving structures across millennia.

Season 1

1 sequence

Alice in Borderland

An emptied Tokyo shot as architecture — Shibuya with nobody in it, which is more unsettling than anything the games do.

Season 1

1 sequence

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

2022–Paramount+Sci-Fi

A deliberate return to the old shape after two shows that avoided it — the Enterprise sweeping past ringed planets and ice moons, Pike narrating, and a theme that keeps reaching for Courage's original without ever quite quoting it.

Seasons 1–3

1 sequence

3 Body Problem

2024–NetflixSci-Fi

Three suns and a countdown, rendered as physics rather than drama — the orbital problem of the title animated until it stops looking solvable.

Season 1

1 sequence

Andor

2022–2025Disney+Sci-Fi

A Star Wars show that refuses the fanfare: a plain card, a few bars, and straight in. The restraint is the statement.

1 sequence

2021–SyfySci-Fi

An alien stranded in small-town Colorado, impersonating the doctor whose body he took.

Season 1

1 sequence

Bureaucratic typography and timeline diagrams — a superhero series whose titles are styled after an office that manages history.

Season 1

1 sequence

2024Disney+Sci-Fi

A Jedi murder mystery a century before the prequels, with ten seconds of titles for a franchise that opened on a crawl.

Season 1

2 sequences

Star Trek: Picard

2020–2023Paramount+Sci-Fi

An opening about memory rather than exploration. Fragments of a life — a vineyard, a Borg cube, a face — resolve out of swirling particles, and only at the very end does it admit it is a Star Trek show.

Seasons 1–2
Season 3

1 sequence

WandaVision

2021Disney+Sci-Fi

A different decade's sitcom opening every week — hand-drawn fifties, animated sixties, video-tape seventies, saccharine eighties, mockumentary two-thousands — each one a faithful pastiche of a real show's titles, and each one a little more wrong than the last.

Season 1

1 sequence
