10 Sci-Fi TV Shows You Must Binge-Watch This Summer

6. Cursed

Katherine Langford's career-defining turn in 13 Reasons Why was nothing short of incredible, so the prospect of seeing her lead another project alone is awesome enough, but to see her lead a fantastical piece based on a Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler graphic novel? Well, now that's just too good to be true, right?!

A reimagined variation of the classic King Arthur story, Cursed is a coming-of-age tale set in a brave new world as Nimue - a member of a persecuted family with strange abilities - finds herself in possession of King Arthur's sword and wields Excalibur herself.

It's going to lean into the fantastical more than it does sci-fi, but there are enough overlaps for it to warrant a mention, and you should absolutely be bingeing this one when it drops on Netflix in mid-July. The Lady of the Lake demands it.
