Or discovered a miraculous substance? What about every other person became dedicated to your satisfaction? Could you use that influence for the greater good, or would you give in to your darker impulses?

These television series ranked below each confront that very dilemma in various manners (with one notable exclusion). Detailed below is a list of the ten best seasons of sci-fi & fantasy television from 2025.

10. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

Despite more than six decades of history, the web-slinger remains reinvented by new creative voices. This series offers a refreshing look at the hero's early years, cleverly blending classic comic story beats with ideas from the broader Marvel universe to craft something that feels both fresh and profoundly engaging.

Instead of operating solo or having Tony Stark as a guide, this version of the hero develops a evolving relationship with Norman Osborn, who in this story is still just the CEO of Oscorp. Through their interactions, Peter grows into his own man, internalizing the signature lesson of great power and great responsibility.

9. Hazbin Hotel Season 2

Showrunner Vivienne Medrano's boldly transgressive adult musical series, which originated as a fan-funded pilot, truly hit its stride in its sophomore season. Building on the game-changing events of the first season, the story broadens considerably, centering on the scheming TV demon Vox who seizes command of the situation, igniting a chain of increasingly explosive confrontations that naturally end in elaborate musical numbers.

An surprising 2025 gem, this series is essentially an animated Breaking Bad with the humor of a suburban satire. Created by Joe Bennett and writer Steve Hely, it tells the saga of a mild-mannered mycologist who finds a curative mushroom and soon finds himself pursued by everyone from unscrupulous pharmaceutical executives to federal agents.

Despite being a spoof, the narrative plays out with the grave atmosphere of a classic conspiracy thriller.

The hero faces immense challenges on every side: preparing for a coming Viltrumite invasion, mentoring his powered brother, and battling with the shadowy Global Defense Agency. The season also includes some of the most intense fight scenes the series has ever delivered.

Mark's bodily and emotional limits are constantly tested. He must grapple with foes more powerful than he is, the consequences of his battles, and the ethical burden of his choices. Standout storylines for key cast members such as Cecil Stedman and Rex Splode complete a superb season.
