August kicks off the 2025-2026 season, and there are seven sci fi TV premieres scheduled as of this writing. Probably the most anticipated premiere is FX’s Alien: Earth which acts as a prequel series to that franchise. Also of note is the return of Netflix’s mega-hit Wednesday for its second season, and the long-awaited premiere of the fourth season of Amazon’s Upload as well as the even longer-awaited debut of the second season of Peacemaker on HBO Max. And it is possible that a few more shows can join the list by the end of the month, so check back for updates.
