File:Star Trek TOS logo.svg series, now known as The Original Series]]

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.

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.

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.{{cite web|url=http://www.andyfilm.com/11-14-06.html|title=The Aisle Seat by Andy Dursin|last=Dursin|first=Andre|date=November 14, 2006|work=www.andyfilm.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003164010/http://www.andyfilm.com/11-14-06.html|archive-date=October 3, 2011|access-date=October 19, 2011}} 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.{{Harvnb|Ayers|2006|p=232}} {{As of|2007|June}}, it has references in the library section of the official Star Trek website.{{cite web|url=http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/features/specials/article/66895.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100703224730/http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/features/specials/article/66895.html|archive-date=July 3, 2010|access-date=May 16, 2020|title=The Animated Series Gets Real|work=Star Trek|url-status=live}}

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.{{cite web|url=http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Contrib/SciFi/StarTrek/history.html|title=Star Trek - A Short History|work=www.ee.surrey.ac.uk|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101205052936/http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Contrib/SciFi/StarTrek/history.html|archive-date=December 5, 2010|access-date=August 21, 2006}} 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".{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/st/tng/intro.shtml|title=BBC Online - Cult - Star Trek - Next Generation - Trivia|work=BBC|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061231192511/http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/st/tng/intro.shtml|archive-date=December 31, 2006|access-date=March 24, 2019}} The series was released in high definition on Blu-Ray and Netflix with some special effect changes in the 2010s.{{cite web|url=http://trekcore.com/blog/2015/08/netflix-brings-vfx-fixes-to-star-trek-tng-in-hd/|title=Netflix Brings VFX Fixes to STAR TREK: TNG in HD|author=TrekCore Staff|work=TrekCore Blog|date=August 26, 2015|access-date=March 30, 2019|archive-date=March 30, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190330073353/http://trekcore.com/blog/2015/08/netflix-brings-vfx-fixes-to-star-trek-tng-in-hd/|url-status=live}}

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 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.{{cite web|url=http://www.startrek.com/database_article/emissary-part-i|title=Emissary, Part I {{!}} Star Trek|work=Star Trek|access-date=August 21, 2006|archive-date=October 11, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101011115319/http://www.startrek.com/database_article/emissary-part-i|url-status=live}} 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.{{cite web|url=http://scifi.about.com/blinterarma2.htm|title=Review of "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" - Star Trek Fans|work=Syfy|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030407175159/http://scifi.about.com/blinterarma2.htm|archive-date=April 7, 2003|access-date=October 29, 2006}}

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.{{cite web|url=http://www.fandango.com/startrek:voyager%255Btvseries%255D_v263074/plotsummary|title=Star Trek: Voyager [TV Series] Synopsis - Plot Summary - Fandango.com|work=Fandango Media|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120130083959/http://www.fandango.com/startrek:voyager[tvseries]_v263074/plotsummary|archive-date=January 30, 2012|access-date=October 19, 2011}} 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.

Star Trek: Enterprise, originally titled Enterprise, is a prequel to the original Star Trek series.

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.{{cite web|url=http://www.scifi.com/sfw/screen/sfw1662.html|title=Star Trek: Enterprise Series Finale {{!}} Movie and TV Reviews {{!}} SCI FI Weekly|last=Lee|first=Patrick|date=May 14, 2005|work=Syfy|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070101153926/http://www.scifi.com/sfw/screen/sfw1662.html|archive-date=January 1, 2007|access-date=January 16, 2009}}{{cite web|url=http://trekweb.com/stories.php?aid=43a43f1175dcc&topBrowse=all|title=TrekWeb.com - Anthony Montgomery Says "These Are The Voyages..."

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.{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2018/10/star-trek-lower-decks-animated-series-rick-and-morty-mike-mcmahan-alex-kurtzman-cbs-all-access-1202489207/|title='Star Trek: Lower Decks' Animated Series From 'Rick and Morty' EP & Secret Hideout Ordered By CBS All Access|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|date=October 25, 2018|work=Deadline Hollywood|access-date=October 26, 2018|archive-date=October 25, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181025185106/https://deadline.com/2018/10/star-trek-lower-decks-animated-series-rick-and-morty-mike-mcmahan-alex-kurtzman-cbs-all-access-1202489207/|url-status=live}}{{Cite web |last=Drew |first=Brian |date=August 6, 2019 |title=STLV19: 'Star Trek: Lower Decks' Panel Talks Second Contacts, Cleaning Holodecks, And Canon |url=https://trekmovie.com/2019/08/06/stlv19-star-trek-lower-decks-panel-talks-second-contacts-cleaning-holodecks-and-canon/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190808184620/https://trekmovie.com/2019/08/06/stlv19-star-trek-lower-decks-panel-talks-second-contacts-cleaning-holodecks-and-canon/ |archive-date=August 8, 2019 |access-date=January 19, 2020 |website=TrekMovie.com}} The first season premiered on August 6, 2020, and consists of 10 episodes.{{cite web|last=Petski|first=Denise|date=July 1, 2020|title='Star Trek: Lower Decks' Gets August Premiere Date On CBS All Access; Teaser Art Unveiled|url=https://deadline.com/2020/07/star-trek-lower-decks-august-premiere-date-cbs-all-access-teaser-art-1202975062/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200701183729/https://deadline.com/2020/07/star-trek-lower-decks-august-premiere-date-cbs-all-access-teaser-art-1202975062/|archive-date=July 1, 2020|access-date=July 2, 2020|work=Deadline Hollywood}} Lower Decks streamed its fourth season in 2023, and a fifth season in 2024.

Failed and repurposed series

=''Phase II''=

{{main|1=Star Trek: Phase II|l1=Star Trek: 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.{{cite web |url= https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/a-canceled-star-trek-show-from-the-70s-quietly-shaped-every-sequel-since |title= What happened to Star Trek: Phase II? : A canceled Star Trek show from the '70s quietly shaped every sequel since |publisher= SyFy |work= SyfyWire |date= September 27, 2017 |access-date= July 28, 2020 |archive-date= July 28, 2020 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200728024746/https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/a-canceled-star-trek-show-from-the-70s-quietly-shaped-every-sequel-since |url-status= live }}
