American television anthology series Masters of Science Fiction was created by the same team as Masters of Horror. A four-episode season of the show premiered on ABC on August 4, 2007, at 10PM. It was initially slated to broadcast six parts, however two episodes were dropped from the schedule for unspecified reasons.

For the first time, the Canadian network Space picked up the show in December 2007. It was then feasible to screen the final two episodes in North America.
