Rebecca Ferguson has cemented her status as a modern sci-fi icon, and 2026 has been a banner year for her. She kicked things off with the AI-driven mystery Mercy, followed by the critically acclaimed third season of Silo on Apple TV+, which scored a stellar 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. And in December, she'll return as Lady Jessica in Dune: Part Three, the epic conclusion to Denis Villeneuve's trilogy. But for fans craving more of her genre work, there's a hidden gem currently streaming for free—though not for long.
That gem is Life, a 2017 sci-fi thriller directed by Daniel Espinosa (Safe House, Child 44) and written by Deadpool scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. The film stars Ferguson alongside Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Hiroyuki Sanada, and it's a tense, claustrophobic ride that owes a clear debt to Ridley Scott's Alien. In fact, its production pedigree—backed by Skydance and distributed by Sony—sparked playful rumors that it might be a Venom prequel, though it shares no connection to that franchise.
Despite its modest box office haul of $100 million against a $58 million budget, Life has earned a devoted following. Its Rotten Tomatoes score sits at 67%, with critics praising it as "just thrilling, well-acted, and capably filmed enough to overcome an overall inability to add new wrinkles to the trapped-in-space genre." It's a solid, suspenseful entry in the space-horror subgenre, and for Ferguson fans, it's a must-watch.
Here's the catch: Life is currently available to stream for free on Tubi in the United States, but it will be removed on November 1. That gives you just a few weeks to catch it before it vanishes. If you're in the mood for more free streaming options, you might also want to check out Matt Reeves' apes epic before it leaves Tubi too.
While you're at it, Ferguson's other projects are worth exploring. Silo is currently airing its final season, and Dune: Part Three is set to hit theaters alongside Avengers: Doomsday this December. If you're a fan of her work, you won't want to miss either.
For those who appreciate the sci-fi genre, Life is a perfect weekend watch. It's tense, well-acted, and features a memorable creature design that will keep you on edge. So grab some popcorn, dim the lights, and stream it before it's gone.
