Weird Science adaptations: films & series

Every version of Weird Science — the films & series, compared across media.

Two unpopular teenagers, Gary and Wyatt, use a computer to create Lisa — a living, breathing woman who upends their ordinary lives. Weird Science explored that comic premise across both a 1985 film and a 1994 television series, each version finding its own way to inhabit the same hapless heroes and the impossible creation who changes them.

Frequently asked

Is Weird Science based on a comic book?

This page covers the 1985 film Weird Science and the 1994 TV series Weird Science, both built around the same premise of two teenage boys who use a computer to create a woman. Any connection to earlier source material is outside the scope of what the synopses here describe.

How many versions of Weird Science are there?

Two screen versions are covered here: the 1985 film Weird Science and the 1994 television series Weird Science, each telling the story of Gary and Wyatt across a different medium.

Should I watch the Weird Science movie or TV series first?

The 1985 film Weird Science predates the 1994 TV series Weird Science, making it a natural starting point; the series expands the same premise into an ongoing comedic format.
