Star Trek is an American science fiction media franchise that started with a television series (simply called Star Trek but now referred to as Star Trek: The Original Series ) created by Gene Roddenberry. The series was first broadcast from 1966 to 1969 on NBC. Since then, the Star Trek canon has expanded to include many other series, a film franchise, and other media.

Contents

The first new series was Star Trek: The Animated Series , featuring the cast of The Original Series, which was broadcast from 1973 to 1974. In the 1980s, a new syndication series titled Star Trek: The Next Generation expanded the franchise with a new cast and setting. Two spin-off series, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager (on the new network UPN), followed in the 1990s. Star Trek: Enterprise , a prequel to the original series, was broadcast on UPN beginning in 2001. The series was canceled in 2005.

After a break of over a decade, a new series was developed for the streaming service CBS All Access (later rebranded as Paramount+). Star Trek: Discovery debuted in 2017, and its success led to a new expansion of the franchise in the following years. This included Star Trek: Picard , Star Trek: Strange New Worlds , the upcoming Star Trek: Starfleet Academy , new animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Prodigy , the companion series Star Trek: Short Treks , as well as streaming television films. After Prodigy was canceled by Paramount+ following its first season, the series moved to Netflix.

The Original Series (1966–1969)

Star Trek, also known as Star Trek: The Original Series, often abbreviated as TOS, [lower-alpha 3] debuted in the United States on NBC on September 8, 1966. [23] The series tells the tale of the crew of the starship Enterprise and its five-year mission "to boldly go where no man has gone before." The original 1966–69 television series featured William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as Spock, DeForest Kelley as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, James Doohan as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, Nichelle Nichols as Uhura, George Takei as Hikaru Sulu, and Walter Koenig as Pavel Chekov. [24] During the series' original run, it earned several nominations for the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and won twice: for the two-part episode "The Menagerie", and the Harlan Ellison-written episode "The City on the Edge of Forever". [25]

Cast included:

NBC canceled the series after three seasons; the last original episode aired on June 3, 1969. [26] A petition near the end of the second season to save the series signed by many Caltech students and its multiple Hugo nominations would indicate that despite low Nielsen ratings, it was highly popular with science fiction fans and engineering students. [27] The series later became popular in reruns and found a cult following. [23] In the 2000s, the series was remastered for television, which included special-effect changes including CGI versions of the ships. [28]

The Animated Series (1973–1974)

Star Trek, later marketed as Star Trek: The Animated Series (TAS) to differentiate it from the live-action series, was produced by Filmation, and ran for two seasons from 1973 to 1974. Most of the original cast performed the voices of their characters from The Original Series, and some of the writers who worked on The Original Series returned, including D. C. Fontana, David Gerrold and Paul Schneider. While the animated format allowed the producers to create more exotic alien landscapes and life forms, animation errors and liberal reuse of shots and musical cues have tarnished the series' reputation. [29] Although it was originally sanctioned by Paramount, which owned the Star Trek franchise following its acquisition of Desilu in 1967, Gene Roddenberry often spoke of TAS as non-canon. [30] As of June 2007, it has references in the library section of the official Star Trek website. [31]

The cast included:

The Animated Series won Star Trek's first Emmy Award on May 15, 1975.[ citation needed ]The Animated Series briefly returned to television in the mid-1980s on the children's cable network Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon parent Viacom would purchase Paramount in 1994; in the early 1990s, the Sci-Fi Channel also began rerunning TAS. The complete series was also released on Laserdisc format during the 1980s. [32] The complete series was first released in the United States on eleven volumes of VHS tapes in 1989. All 22 episodes were released on DVD in 2006.

The Next Generation (1987–1994)

Star Trek: The Next Generation, frequently abbreviated as TNG, takes place about a century after The Original Series (2364–2370). It features a new starship, Enterprise-D, and a new crew led by Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes). Some crew members represent new alien races, including Deanna Troi, a half-Betazoid counselor played by Marina Sirtis. Michael Dorn plays Worf, the first Klingon officer in Starfleet, alongside Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher, LeVar Burton as chief engineer Geordi La Forge, the android Data portrayed by Brent Spiner, and Dr. Crusher's son Wesley Crusher played by Wil Wheaton.

The series premiered on September 28, 1987, and ran for seven seasons, ending on May 23, 1994. It had the highest ratings of any of the Star Trek series and became the #1 syndicated show during the last few years of its original run, allowing it to act as a springboard for ideas in other series. Many relationships and races introduced in TNG became the basis of episodes in Deep Space Nine and Voyager. [33] During its run, it earned several Emmy Awards and nominations—including a nomination for Best Dramatic Series during its final season—two Hugo Awards and a Peabody Award for Outstanding Television Programming for the episode "The Big Goodbye". [34] The series was released in high definition on Blu-Ray and Netflix with some special effect changes in the 2010s. [35]

Deep Space Nine (1993–1999)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, frequently abbreviated as DS9, takes place during the last years and the immediate post-years of The Next Generation (2369–2375) and aired for seven seasons, from January 3, 1993, to June 2, 1999. Like The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine aired in syndication in the United States and Canada. Unlike the other Star Trek series, DS9 takes place primarily on a space station rather than aboard a starship.

The cast included:

The series begins in the aftermath of the brutal occupation of the planet Bajor by the imperialistic Cardassians. The liberated Bajoran people ask the United Federation of Planets to help run a Cardassian-built space station, Deep Space Nine, near Bajor. After the Federation takes control of the station, the protagonists of the series discover a uniquely stable wormhole that provides immediate access to the distant Gamma Quadrant making Bajor and the station one of the most strategically important locations in the galaxy. [36] The series chronicles the adventures of the station's crew, led by Commander (later Captain) Benjamin Sisko, played by Avery Brooks, and Major (later Colonel) Kira Nerys, played by Nana Visitor. Recurring plot elements include the repercussions of the Cardassian occupation of Bajor, Sisko's role as a figure in Bajoran religious prophecy, and in later seasons a war with an empire from the Gamma Quadrant known as the Dominion.

Deep Space Nine stands apart from earlier Trek series for its lengthy serialized storytelling, conflict within the crew, and religious themes—all elements that critics and audiences praised but Roddenberry forbade in the original series and The Next Generation. [37]

Voyager (1995–2001)

Star Trek: Voyager ran for seven seasons, airing from January 16, 1995, to May 23, 2001, launching a new Paramount-owned television network, UPN. It features Kate Mulgrew as Captain Kathryn Janeway, the first female commanding officer in a leading role of a Star Trek series, and Commander Chakotay, played by Robert Beltran. [38]

The cast included:

Voyager takes place at about the same time period as Deep Space Nine and the years following that series' end (2371–2378). The premiere episode has the USS Voyager and its crew pursue a Maquis (Federation rebels) ship. Both ships become stranded in the Delta Quadrant about 70,000 light-years from Earth. [39] Faced with a 75-year voyage to Earth, the crew must learn to work together to overcome challenges on their long and perilous journey home while also seeking ways to shorten the voyage. Like Deep Space Nine, early seasons of Voyager feature more conflict between its crew members than seen in later episodes. Such conflict often arises from friction between "by-the-book" Starfleet crew and rebellious Maquis fugitives forced by circumstance to work together on Voyager. Eventually, though, they settle their differences, after which the overall tone becomes more reminiscent of The Original Series. Isolated from its home, the starship Voyager faces new cultures and dilemmas not possible in other series based in the Alpha Quadrant. Later seasons brought in an influx of characters and cultures from prior series, such as the Borg, Q, the Ferengi, Romulans, Klingons, Cardassians and cast members of The Next Generation.

Enterprise (2001–2005)

Star Trek: Enterprise, originally titled Enterprise, is a prequel to the original Star Trek series. It aired from September 26, 2001, to May 13, 2005. [40] Enterprise takes place in the 2150s, some 90 years after the events of Zefram Cochrane's first warp flight and about a decade before the founding of the Federation. The series centers on the voyages of Earth's first warp 5 capable starship, Enterprise , commanded by Captain Jonathan Archer (played by Scott Bakula), and the Vulcan Sub-Commander T'Pol (played by Jolene Blalock). The series originally did not include "Star Trek" in its name and logo, adding it later on in the series' run.

During the series' first two seasons, Enterprise featured self-contained episodes, like The Original Series, The Next Generation and Voyager. The entire third season consisted of one arc related to the Xindi, and had a darker tone and serialized nature similar to that of Deep Space Nine. The fourth and final season consisted of several mini-arcs composed of two to three episodes. The final season showed the origins of some elements of previous series, and resolved some of their continuity problems. Ratings for Enterprise started strong but declined rapidly. Although critics received the fourth season well, both fans and the cast criticized the series finale, partly because of the episode's focus on the guest appearance of cast members of The Next Generation. [41] [42] [43] The cancellation of Enterprise ended an 18-year run of back-to-back new Star Trek television series, which began with The Next Generation in 1987.

Discovery (2017–2024)

Star Trek: Discovery begins as a prequel to The Original Series , set roughly ten years prior. [44] It premiered September 24, 2017, in the United States and Canada on CBS before moving to CBS All Access, [4] while Netflix streams the series outside the United States and is also providing most of the series' funding. [45] [46] [47]

The series centers on the voyages of the USS Discovery, a unique starship with an experimental "spore drive", commanded in Season 1 by Captain Gabriel Lorca (Jason Isaacs), in Season 2 by Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), and in Season 3 by Captain Saru (Doug Jones). The protagonist of the series is Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), a science specialist who becomes captain of Discovery at the end of the third season. The first season focuses on Discovery's involvement in a war between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire; [48] [49] later seasons see the Discovery crew fighting a rogue artificial intelligence and, sent into the distant future, trying to reunite a fractured Federation.

Short Treks (2018–2020)

Star Trek: Short Treks is a spin-off companion series of stand-alone short films which focus on characters and situations from Discovery and Picard. Some of the episodes are animated. [50]

Picard (2020–2023)

Star Trek: Picard, like Discovery, is a serialized drama created for CBS All Access; it premiered on January 23, 2020. Set about 30 years after The Next Generation, the series sees Patrick Stewart reprise his TNG role of Jean-Luc Picard. [51] The first season follows Picard in his retirement, seeking redemption for what he sees as his past failings, as he goes on an adventure to save the daughter of his late crewmate Data. Later seasons bring back more characters from the franchise, including the main Next Generation cast. The cast includes:

Lower Decks (2020–present)

Star Trek: Lower Decks was announced on October 25, 2018, by CBS All Access as a two-season order for a half-hour adult animated comedy series created by Mike McMahan, the head writer and executive producer of Rick and Morty . It focuses on the support crew of "one of Starfleet's least important ships", and its name is taken from a Next Generation episode that similarly focused on low-ranking starship crew members. [52] [53] The first season premiered on August 6, 2020, and consists of 10 episodes. [54] Lower Decks streamed its fourth season in 2023, and a fifth season is in production.

The cast includes:

Prodigy (2021–present)

In February 2019, it was announced that an animated series developed for young viewers was in development. The series is being co-written and created by Dan and Kevin Hageman and will air on Nickelodeon as a joint-venture with CBS. [55] It focuses on a group of teens who embark on an adventure upon an abandoned Starfleet ship. [56] On July 23, 2020, it was announced that the title would be Star Trek: Prodigy; [57] the series premiered on October 28, 2021. [58]

The cast includes:

Strange New Worlds (2022–present)

Announced in May 2020, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds depicts the early days of the Enterprise and features Discovery actors Anson Mount, Ethan Peck and Rebecca Romijn reprising their roles as Pike, Spock and Number One, respectively. [59] [lower-alpha 4] Creator Akiva Goldsman intended for the series to use an episodic format similar to The Original Series and The Next Generation. [61] It was released on Paramount+. [59] The series debuted on May 5, 2022. [62]

The cast includes:

Starfleet Academy

In June 2018, a series by Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz that is set at Starfleet Academy was reportedly in development, [9] and aimed at a younger audience. [63] [9] By February 2022, Gaia Violo had taken over the project, which was said to be the next in the pipeline following Section 31. [64] In March 2023, the series was greenlit by Paramount+, and is set to go into production in 2024. Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau serve as the showrunners, while Violo now serves as an executive producer. [21] Holly Hunter is set to be in the main cast, while Paul Giamatti is set to play a recurring role. [65] [66] In July 2024, while on a panel at the 58th San Diego Comic-Con, Kurtzman and Landau revealed that Kerrice Brooks, Karim Diané, George Hawkins, Bella Shepard and Zoë Steiner had been added to the cast, playing Starfleet Cadets.

Future

In July 2024, Justin Simien and Lower Decks star Tawny Newsome announced that they were developing the first Star Trek live-action comedy series. [130] The pair met when Simien was a guest on Star Trek: The Pod Directive, the official Star Trek podcast that is hosted by Newsome, and their pitch for the series grew from their shared love of character-focused Deep Space Nine and The Next Generation episodes that were not "plot heavy". [131] Set in the 25th century, the series follows "Federation outsiders" whose lives working on a resort planet are broadcast to viewers across the quadrant. [132] The tone was compared to the comedy series The Office and Parks and Recreation . Kurtzman was open to the new series after being impressed by Newsome's work as a writer on Starfleet Academy, and he was set as a writer and executive producer on the project alongside Simien and Newsome. [133] Newsome and Simien chose to set the series in the 25th century to allow characters from Lower Decks and Picard to appear in it. [134]

Failed and repurposed series

Phase II

Star Trek: Phase II was a 1970s follow-up live-action television series to The Original Series. Though sets were constructed, scripts written, characters cast, and production started, the series was cancelled in favor of The Motion Picture — the first Star Trek feature film — adapted from the script of Phase II's feature-length pilot episode "In Thy Image".

The series would have anchored a fourth U.S. television network, the Paramount Network. This would later happen when Star Trek: Voyager anchored the launch of UPN, the United Paramount Network in the 1990s. [135]

Ceti Alpha V

In June 2017, Nicholas Meyer revealed he had begun development of a 3-episode limited series titled Ceti Alpha V, based around the character Khan Noonien Singh and acting as a prequel to his The Wrath of Khan storyline. [136] By September 2022, the series had been redeveloped into a scripted podcast series titled Star Trek: Khan – Ceti Alpha V. [137]

Section 31

Announced in January 2019, a live-action television series, with a tentative title Section 31 will focus on the mirror universe's Philippa Georgiou and her adventures as a member of Starfleet's Section 31 division. Michelle Yeoh will reprise her role from Discovery, with Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt serving as co-showrunners. The series was reported to feature an ensemble cast. [138] In April 2023, the project was announced to be redeveloped as a film for Paramount+, with Olatunde Osunsanmi directing from a script by Craig Sweeny. [139]
