The Future is typically 200–1,000 years after the present time, but there are no real set limits, and 20 Minutes into the Future has been popular at times. The Future differs from A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away... by the presence of Earth—whether the show is set in San Francisco or whether Earth is a distant legend, there are always ties to Earth that make it significant in the show. Most books of advice to aspiring authors insist that Space Opera should be set at least several thousand years in the future, based on just how much civilization would have to develop to make such things possible, but TV shows rarely go anything like that far ahead, partly to justify showing an Earth-based society that isn't so radically different that the viewers can't relate at all, but mostly because Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale. (Although, really, who can predict these things?) A relatively near-future Space Opera setting can be justified by having ancient civilizations already out in space and humanity a relative newcomer to the galactic stage, which has the bonus of being able to fit in expospeak as aliens explain what's going on to the ignorant human barbarians. The Future is where much of "hard" science fiction takes place. The various Star Treks are set here, as are Babylon 5, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Firefly, you name it. In The Future everything might go horribly wrong or strangely right. |

The Jetsons, with the cities floating over a generally unseen landscape. It's basically a transplanted sit-com which includes the Flying Car and Videophones, and where everything has a "space-", "moon-", "rocket-" or the like prefix, and people go to the moon and beyond as casually as we'd get on a plane. | |

The backstory to Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri has Earth sending out the colony ship to Alpha Centauri in 2060, with a 40-year travel time that lands you on Planet in 2100. A normal game (assuming you don't go for the Zerg Rush) will typically last you into at least the 23rd century, with games lasting to the 24th and 25th hardly being pretty standard. During this time, you can research all kinds of cool technology, almost all of it being based on Hard Science well-documented to be possible as of the creation of the game (1997). | |

Paranoia is set in Year 214 of The Computernote though that's just because "Year 214" sounds nice, so who knows how long It's really been in power, with Troubleshooters packing laser pistols and rooting out Commie mutant traitors.note Due to a filing glitch, The Computer found some civil defense records from 1957 and mistook it for current intel. | |

Idiocracy undermines the most popular ideas about the future. Life does not get any better, nor do we have any After the End scenario. Instead, selective breeding for stupidity has caused The Future to be actually much worse than the present, but not in a Mad Max way. The idea came from the 1950s short story "The Marching Morons" by Cyril M. Kornbluth, which did not receive any credit. | |

Time Squad Nobody ever sets foot on Earth while the main cast is in their "present time", which is in the year 100,000,000. All of what we know about the grand future in this universe is that the Earth's nations finally obtained world peace and turned into one "super nation". There's also no war, no pollution, and bacon is good for your heart. Oh, and they have a military time travel force that keeps their utopian future from collapsing. | |

Guilty Crown is set in 2039, where a mysterious virus known as "Apocalypse Virus" is spreading. It does, however, blend over with traditional fantasy at times, as the protagonist is able to draw out people's personalities to use them as weapons. Some are more useful than others, though. This power also becomes the cause of some literal Fridge Brilliance, in episode 3. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons, after Wizards of the Coast got the franchise this is now the background for the Illithid (Mindflayer) species. They come from an extremely distant future with a fallen empire and travelled to the past with their psionic-based Magitek to survive and rebuild. While alot of their technology isn't far off from the swords and bows of everyone else, a number of more recent sourcebooks/adventure books has parties finding lasers and the occasional antimatter rifle in particular lairs. | |

Twilight Star Sui and Neri takes place 511 years in the future (from when the manga was released in 2020), specifically 2531, where technology has advanced to a point that planetary colonisation and interstellar spaceflight is anything but a possible reality. In a sense of irony, it is how Earth's decline came to be, as Earth's humans have colonised other planets, leaving no reason for Earth to be still considered as humanity's home planet. In addition all animals in Tetsunagi are now bipedal and have had human sapience, which makes them barely distinguishable from their non-sapient animalistic ancestors. | |

Mass Effect takes place in A.D. 2183–2186. The relative closeness to the present day is a result of discovering Applied Phlebotinum on Mars, soon followed by the formation of the Systems Alliance and encountering the Citadel Council, both events resulting in humanity making technological leaps that otherwise wouldn't have come about for centuries, if at all. It's still close enough to the present, though, that present-day pop culture and religion remain intact—mention is made, for instance, of "Old Yeller: The Centennial Remastered Edition". |

Star Trek is a vision of an advanced space age where humans have made contact with many civilized worlds. It is so elaborate that they have even formed The Federation, with Earth as its center of operation. Along with this, Earth has evolved to be an idyllic society devoid of major conflict, and aside from the development of space travel, technological advancement is used as a source of convenience and comfort. | |

Scientific Rescue Team Techno Voyager was dubbed as Thunderbirds 2086, while set only 104 years in the future from when the series was made, the future technology is shown to be so prevalent that it goes well beyond the 20 Minutes in the Future as interplanetary travel is commonplace and new ground-breaking scientific innovations pop up almost every other episode.

Space Rangers begins in the year 3000, by which time the humans have spread out significantly into space and established friendly relations with most other races. Interestingly, The Federation is mostly averted: while each human planet has similar cultural norms and provides military ships for the Klissan War, the government is separate and there are plenty monarchies and dictatorships alongside planets wih democratic republican governments. | |

Futurama takes place in the year 3000. New York is in ruins (with a new city, called New New York, built over it), a destroyed pizzeria is part of a museum display, talking heads reside in jars, the Internet is an actual cyber world, robots run on alcohol, weird aliens are there- and killing oneself is as easy as going to a suicide machine, among others.

The Orion's Arm universe is set over ten thousand years into the future. The intervening years are covered in the timeline in a fair amount of detail, and Earth is more or less a wildlife preserve/ historical landmark. And since it's set ten thousand years into the future, everything is extremely odd. |

Legends of the Dead Earth: Every story is set at the very least 500 years after the destruction of Earth but no date is given for its destruction and only a handful of the stories have a date attached. Action Comics Annual #8 takes place in the 30th Century. Legion of Super-Heroes Annual #7 takes place in the 75th Century. Although no date is given in The Power of Shazam! Annual #1 itself, its protagonist CeCe Beck is later sent back in time to the 30th Century in Legion of Super-Heroes #110 and says that she is 6,000 years in the past. As such, she is from the 90th Century. She refers to the calendar used by the Legion as "the Dead Earth calendar." Legionnaires Annual #3 takes place in the 100th Century. Adventures of Superman Annual #8 takes place 500,000 years after the 20th Century. Batman: Shadow of the Bat Annual #4 and Sovereign Seven Annual #2 both take place at the very end of the universe, which the former dates to 33 billion years after the Big Bang (approximately 19-20 billion years in the future). |

Doctor Who has frequently delved far into the future, even to the time when the universe faces imminent collapse. It tends to show the settings as Dystopian and full of suffering. (With Whoniverse, though, the series has shown some contradictory visions of the future which include two very different accounts of Earth's ultimate destruction in (supposedly) seven million years. Torchwood regular and Who expatriate Captain Jack Harkness comes from approximately the year 5000. Most times in the classic series that the Earth was said to have been "destroyed" at any given point in the future, they were typically referring to it being blasted by massive solar flares. This was canonically the case, for instance, in separate stories set in about AD 5000, and again in AD 14000. Presumably it happened on many other occasions too, before Earth's final end when the Sun turned into a red giant and engulfed it. Retconned by the presence of the Time War. Apparently it caused a lot of really, really screwy stuff to happen to the timeline. |

Dead Space is set in a dystopian future near the beginning of the 26th century (the first game in the year 2508). Artificial gravity, huge space cities, telekinetic gadgets, moderate manipulation of time, and outer-galactic space travel have become commonplace; in fact, mankind now inhabits every solid mass in our own solar system (such as Saturn's moon, Titan) and several different parts of our own galaxy. However, there has already been at least one mass human extinction event due to exhaustion of natural resources on Earth, and so humanity had to resort to mining other planets. While mankind is actually on the path to recovery by the start of the game (planet mining has been going on for about 60 years by 2508), humanity is ruled over by the solar-system wide dictatorial EarthGov, and the only primary resistance is a religious cult. Oh, and of course, mankind has accidentally awakened horrifically violent and monstrously grotesque super zombies called Necromorphs that are systematically coming in to kill every human on every planet, and said cult is determined to help them succeed. | |

The Matrix is clearly set in the distant future judging by all the advanced technology developed by the Machines, but is otherwise extremely ambiguous just how far into the future. Morpheus says in the first film that they really don't know with any precision because of the limited information that the humans have. The Matrix and the destruction-rebuilding of Zion has already gone through six cycles, so it could easily be many thousands of years. | |
