About Red Dwarf
Red Dwarf follows Dave Lister, the last human alive, crossing deep space with hologram Rimmer, the Cat and Kryten aboard the mining ship. The run spans twelve series from 1988 plus the Back to Earth specials and the 2020 feature length The Promised Land.
Watch series one through twelve in broadcast order, then Back to Earth, then The Promised Land. The show is episodic with a light continuity, so order matters for crew arrivals like Kryten and Kochanski more than plotting. The specials and film assume the full run, which is why they sit last.
Good to know
UKTV has no current plans for new episodes after scrapping a 2025 special, but the show was never cancelled outright, so the status stays open. The Grant Naylor split means eras feel different, with the Dave years looser than the BBC run. The prequel novel Titan from 2026 sits in print, not on screen, so it stays out of the list.
