5 Real-World Buildings That Became Iconic Space Sci-Fi Sets

Rithic P

Insights

Space sci-fi loves impossible architecture: Senate plazas, corporate temples, alien colonies and imperial bunkers built to make humanity feel tiny. Yet some of the genre’s most convincing futures were not born in a VFX suite. They were found in real buildings — museums, transport hubs, civic centres and abandoned palaces whose architecture already looked halfway to another century.

Imagine waking up light-years from Earth with no memory, no easy way home and the fate of humanity hidden somewhere in your fractured mind. That is the beautifully cruel hook of Project Hail Mary, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s adaptation of Andy Weir’s bestselling 2021 novel.

TV/Series

As Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord nears its explosive May the 4th finale on Disney+, one thing is already clear: the galaxy far, far away still has dangerous new territory to explore when it dares to step into the shadows.

The Intergalactic Police Force: Why Lanterns Is the Next Hit

Rithic P

TV/Series

The Green Lantern Corps has always been one of DC’s most cosmic ideas: an intergalactic police force armed with power rings, patrolling deep space and protecting entire sectors of the universe. But HBO’s upcoming Lanterns series is not selling itself as another bright, effects-heavy superhero spectacle.

Space Sci-Fi Book of the Week: The Subtle Art of Folding Space by John Chu

Rithic P

Literature

The universe is breaking — but not in the usual space-opera way. There are no grand fleets carving up the galaxy, no alien empires looming over a battlefield, and no clean hyperspace jumps into the unknown. In John Chu’s The Subtle Art of Folding Space, reality itself has infrastructure. Physics can be maintained, patched, hacked and destabilised.

Paramount+ has now confirmed that the next chapter of the series will arrive in summer 2026 — and the first footage suggests a season that leans hard into the show’s trademark blend of episodic adventure, emotional character work and gleeful genre experimentation.

Starfield Launch on PS5: The Terran Armada & Free Lanes Update Elevate Space Sci-Fi Gaming

If you’ve ever dreamt of standing on the edge of a frozen moon, watching a gas giant crest the horizon while your ship hums with the promise of recursive loops through the stars, 2026 is officially your year. After years of anticipation and a fair share of console-exclusivity debates, Bethesda’s Starfield has finally made the jump to lightspeed on the PlayStation 5.

Movies

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, the words "Star Wars" on a cinema marquee meant something seismic. After a seven-year absence from the big screen, that seismic moment is almost upon us again. Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu arrives in theatres on 22 May 2026 — and for some space sci-fi fans, it could be the cinematic event of the year.
