The Best Star Trek Series of the Modern Era (and the Worst)
Star Trek's vast and evolving universe spans decades, making a straightforward ranking challenging. For clarity, we'll categorize the modern era of Star Trek (post-2017) by its distinct offerings: the Paramount+ shows, animated series, and the "Short Treks." This modern era, launched with Discovery in 2017, has seen a prolific output, including five new live-action series, two animated series, and a collection of short films. The diverse formats—from dramatic sci-fi to comedy, animation, feature-length episodes, and more—make direct comparisons complex. Furthermore, show quality can fluctuate across seasons. Our rankings consider each series' complete run, not just peak performance.
