Aeon Flux is an American avant-garde science fiction adventure animated television series that aired on MTV from November 30, 1991, until October 10, 1995.
The series premiered on MTV's Liquid Television experimental animation show as a six-part serial, followed in 1992 by five individual short episodes. In 1995, a season of ten half-hour episodes aired as a stand-alone series.
Created by American animator Peter Chung, each episode's plot has elements of social science fiction, biopunk, dystopian fiction, spy fiction, psychological drama, postmodern and psychedelic imagery, and Gnostic symbolism.

The show is set in a surreal German Expressionist-style future, depicting a bizarre dystopia populated by mutant creatures, clones and robots, set within two city-states (Monica and Bregna) separated by a border wall in an otherwise barren earth-like world.
The title character is a scantily clad dominatrix/secret agent from Monica—skilled in espionage, assassination and acrobatics. She infiltrates and sabotages installations in Bregna, which is led by her sworn enemy, and sometime lover, Trevor Goodchild—the technocratic dictator of Bregna, whose citizens are called Breens.

Aeon Flux is notable as the first American adult animated series to be a drama rather than a comedy.
The series has a cult following and is known for its unique storytelling, graphic violence, and sexuality, including fetishism and domination.
The show's visual style was influenced by Hergé, ligne claire, Egon Schiele, and Moebius.

A complete collection of the animated series is available for purchase, including all shorts and episodes in director's cut form.
The series has also been released on DVD and is available for streaming on Paramount+.
A live-action movie based on the series, starring Charlize Theron, was released in 2005.

The series has been described as one of the weirdest, horniest, and philosophical works, with a unique and experimental approach to animation.
It has been praised for its thought-provoking nature and unique storytelling, although some viewers have noted that the episodes are out of order and there isn't enough content.
