How (and Where) to Watch Every Star Trek Movie and TV Show In Order

Published on

“Live long and prosper.”

This iconic line from Star Trek holds true for the franchise as well. Starting from the original 1966 series and continuing with big-budget films by JJ Abrams, Star Trek has endured for decades. Perhaps only rivaled by Star Wars, it remains one of the biggest and most diverse sci-fi franchises of all time. The original series and reboot movies revolved around the interplanetary adventures of the spaceship USS Enterprise, introducing unforgettable crew members like Captain James T. Kirk and his loyal First Officer Spock. However, since then, the franchise has also gone on to incorporate many other storylines with sequels, prequels, and spinoffs.

How to watch the Star Trek franchise in chronological order 

Following the numerous Star Trek movies and TV shows can be quite confusing for beginners. But if you want to stick to chronology, here is the order in which you should watch Star Trek:

Alternate Timeline/Reboot Movies:

The multiple Star Trek properties would be too much to take in so, it’s best to divide them into multiple continuities.

The Pre-Original Series Continuity

The TV show Star Trek: Enterprise is set a hundred years before the adventures of Kirk and Spock. Instead of the USS Enterprise, the crew of the series steers an older version of the Enterprise in the year 2151.

The events of the series are then followed by the first two seasons of Star Trek: Discovery (set aboard the USS Discovery) and the ongoing TV series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

  • Star Trek: Enterprise 

  • Star Trek: Discovery (Seasons 1-2)

  • Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

The Original Series Continuity

The original Star Trek series kicks off in the year 2265 and was followed by an animated series which in turn was followed by six films. The cast and crew is mostly recurring throughout this continuity. This glorious first run of the franchise is regarded as the very best by many within the fandom.

  • Star Trek: The Original Series

  • Star Trek: The Animated Series

  • Star Trek: The Motion Picture

  • Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

  • Star Trek III: The Search For Spock 

  • Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

  • Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

  • Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

The Star Trek Reboot Continuity 

The three Star Trek movies by JJ Abrams reboot the entire franchise and take place in an alternate timeline. Expect Easter Eggs and cameos from the Original Series but still remember this is a whole different continuity. In this sense, even beginners with no prior Star Trek knowledge can watch this trilogy. 

  • Star Trek 

  • Star Trek Into the Darkness

  • Star Trek Beyond

The Next Generation/Picard Continuity 

After The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation covered the events from 2364 onwards. With Patrick Stewart playing the heroic Enterprise captain Jean-Luc Picard, this series appealed to a new generation of fans and was followed by successful movies like First Contact and Nemesis. The Prime Video series titled Picard is set two decades after the events of Nemesis and continues the future whereabouts of Picard and his crew. 

  • Star Trek: The Next Generation

  • Star Trek Generations

  • Star Trek: First Contact

  • Star Trek: Insurrection 

  • Star Trek: Nemesis

  • Star Trek: Picard

Deep Space Nine Continuity 

Taking place mostly in the titular spacecraft, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is chronologically set between the events of Nemesis and Picard. It was followed by a direct sequel series Star Trek Voyager.

Kate Mulgrew’s Captain Kathryn Janeway was the lead of Voyager, a role she reprised in the 3D animated series Star Trek: Prodigy (that introduced a younger generation of Star Trek heroes).

    #1

    Star Trek is an American science fiction television series created by Gene Roddenberry that follows the adventures of the starship USS Enterprise and its crew. The show is set in the Milky Way galaxy, roughly during the 2260s. The crew is headed by Captain James T. Kirk, first officer Spock, and chief medical officer Leonard McCoy. Shatner's voice-over introduction during each episode's opening credits stated the starship's purpose: The series was produced from 1966-67 by Desilu Productions, and by Paramount Television from 1968-69. Star Trek aired on NBC from September 8, 1966 to June 3, 1969. Although this television series had the title of Star Trek, it later acquired the retronym of Star Trek: The Original Series to distinguish the show within the media franchise that it began. Star Trek's Nielsen ratings while on NBC were low, and the network canceled it after three seasons and 79 episodes. Nevertheless, the show had a major influence on popular culture and it became a cult classic in broadcast syndication during the 1970s. The show eventually spawned a franchise, consisting of five additional television series, 12 theatrical films, and numerous books, games, toys, and other products.
