Science fiction in [[Canada]] was produced by the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]] as early as the 1950s. In the 1970s, [[CTV Television Network|CTV]] produced ''[[The Starlost]]''. In the 1980s, Canadian animation studios including [[Nelvana]], began producing a growing proportion of the world market in animation.

In the 1990s, Canada became an important player in live action speculative fiction on television, with dozens of series like ''[[Forever Knight]]'', ''[[Robocop: The Series|Robocop]]'', and most notably ''[[The X-Files]]'' and ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''. Many series have been produced for youth and children's markets, including ''[[Deepwater Black]]'' and ''[[MythQuest]]''.

In the first decade of the 21st century, changes in provincial tax legislation prompted many production companies to move from Toronto to [[Vancouver]]. Recent popular series produced in Vancouver include ''[[The Dead Zone (TV series)|The Dead Zone]]'', ''[[Smallville]]'', ''[[Andromeda (TV series)|Andromeda]]'', ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'', ''[[Stargate Universe]]'', ''[[The 4400]]'', ''[[Sanctuary (Canadian TV series)|Sanctuary]]'' and the reimagined ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]''.

Because of the small size of the domestic television market, most Canadian productions involve partnerships with production studios based in the United States and Europe. However, in recent years, new partnership arrangements are allowing Canadian investors a growing share of control of projects produced in Canada and elsewhere.
