The Dog Stars (2026)

After the flu kills the world, a pilot and his dog follow a mysterious radio signal — and discover the living can be more dangerous than the dead.

Crowd Score: 7/10

Who Is It For?

If you like post-apocalyptic stories that are less about zombies and more about loneliness, routines, and the tiny hope of a signal in the void, The Dog Stars should hit. It’s also for Ridley Scott fans who want big atmosphere, grounded grit, and survival stakes without superhero gloss.
