One of the reasons television is such a beloved entertainment medium is because of its ability to provide escapist content. Even the brutalist futures depicted in post-apocalyptic titles have wide appeal, and thanks to the growth of streaming, these types of shows are more available than ever before.

But which streamers carry the best post-apocalyptic titles? How can you assemble a bundle of them without having to pay a huge price to get it? We’ve done the work for you, putting together a list of streamers that carry fantastic post-apocalyptic shows and movies for less than $30 per month.

What’s the best budget streaming bundle for watching post-apocalyptic titles?

Max

Max is the starting point for this bundle, and it’s no coincidence that “The Last of Us” is about to begin releasing its second season on the streamer. You can also stream Season 1 of “The Last of Us” on Max, as well as 2014’s “The Leftovers,” which takes place in a world where two percent of the world’s population has suddenly vanished without a trace.

That’s not all you’ll find on Max in the post-apocalyptic genre, either. The streamer carries the original “Mad Max” film, as well as the newest installment in that franchise “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.” The Max original series “DMZ” is also available, and there are plenty of other titles in the genre to explore once you’re finished with all these. The cheapest Max plan is its ad-supported tier, which costs $10 per month.

Cost of Max with Ads: $10 per month

AMC+

Next up, we think AMC+ is a worthy addition to this bundle. For one thing, you’ll find a huge selection of “The Walking Dead” titles on the service, from the original 2010 show all the way up to the newest season of “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” and everything in between. And don’t forget about “Snowpiercer,” the adaptation of the chilling graphic novel that’s also available on AMC+.

Once you’re done with these, make sure you take a stroll through the Shudder library on AMC+. This horror streaming service has titles in every terrifying genre, including plenty set in a future where the Earth has been overrun by aliens, monsters, or all sorts of ghoulish fiends. AMC+’s ad plan starts at $7 per month, but if you’re willing to pay for a year’s subscription upfront, you can go ad-free for $95.88, which works out to $8 per month.

Apple TV+

Apple TV+ doesn’t have a huge library yet, thanks to its philosophy of only offering original titles with very high production values. Despite this, it has produced a couple of fascinating post-apocalyptic shows, starting with “Silo.” In a future where the surface of the Earth has turned toxic, Earth’s residents have fled deep underground in a giant silo, but the secret of what really goes on there is far more mysterious than the cataclysm that has befallen the planet.

Next up is the 2019 series “See.” This show is set in a world where a virus has wiped out a huge portion of the population, and those who are left are blind. Centuries in the future, two twins are born with the ability to see, and their father must protect them at all costs. Apple TV+ has just one plan, an ad-free tier for $10 per month.
