HypaSpace is a weekly entertainment news program about the world of science fiction and fantasy, created by and shown on Space, a Canadian cable television station. It has daily and weekly segments.

The television show covers movies, television, books, comics and community events. The show has HypaSpace daily shows and HypaSpace weekly shows which sums up the week of news. The series is casual and irreverent.

There are 260 episodes per year. Excluding the first year which started in May and the sixth year as the daily shows were pulled around mid-December with only the weekend edition airing. The daily segments are no longer being produced.

In May 2005, Kim Poirier took over hosting the show, joining original host Jonathan Llyr, now a reporter for the program. Poirier left the show in July 2007.

Segments of HypaSpace air interstitially between SPACE programs.

Llyr hosted the show whenever Poirier was on a break or was ill, he also hosted the HypaSpace podcast which started on October 7, 2006 and his last podcast was on December 22, 2007. Mark Askwith has now taken over as the host of the podcast.

Danielle McGimsie was the new host of the show after Poirier's departure and shared hosting duties with Llyr. Although Llyr was let go from the show at the end of 2007 and Natasha had been given a bigger role for the show.

Kim Poirier returned to the show on the 8th March 2008 with Natasha still presenting the games and toys part of the show. Whilst, presumably, Danielle McGimsie is no longer part of the show.
