Star Trek is an ever-growing franchise, with 11 television series, plus two series of shorts and two separate film series. But despite all these spinoffs and spinoffs of spinoffs, only a couple of branches of the franchise have been given sequels. The Original Series has The Animated Series as a continuation, then its run of six sequel movies (seven, if you include Generations), plus a prequel series (Strange New Worlds); and The Next Generation has four films and a sequel series (Picard), plus a spiritual sequel in Lower Decks. But Deep Space Nine has had to make do with a single episode of Lower Decks and Enterprise gets nothing but the occasional mention as easter eggs.

Most science fiction movie franchises that get past six films are fairly impressive. Way back before the MCU blew up in 2012 or the Star Wars sequels began in 2015, sci-fi film franchises generally didn’t get into the double-digits. In fact, the seemingly immortal Planet of the Apes franchise just now released its 10th film overall. Star Wars has 11 theatrical films, but five of those all came out in the last nine years. This summer, the Alien franchise will release its ninth film in very fragmented continuity, which funnily enough, has the subtitle Romulus, a term that was arguably popularized by the scrappiest science fiction franchise of them all — Star Trek.

Star Trek is one of the biggest and oldest sci-fi franchise stalwarts. By the time George Lucas brought Star Wars back in 1999 with The Phantom Menace, Star Trek was already nine movies deep, on what felt like its third reboot, and was in the middle of its fourth major TV series. Since then, the TV side of Trek has continued to diversify and grow into the 21st century, while Trek’s film output has been much smaller than it was back in the day.

Superhero stories, and origin stories in particular, are all too common these days, from TV shows to the big screen. But one of the series to approach the genre best was Smallville, which explored the story of a young Clark Kent (Tom Welling) living in Smallville, Kansas, before he became Superman. The series premiered in 2001 and came to an end in 2011, after 10 seasons and over 200 episodes, and aired on the WB, which later became the CW. Its success made it DC's longest-running live-action series, as well the longest-running series on the CW until it was eventually beat by Supernatural.

Cinema was made for genres like science fiction. Sci-fi is the realm of exotic alien planets, murderous robots trying to take over humanity, and cool technological and scientific concepts that anchor some of the most entertaining gimmicks in film history. One of the best parts about sci-fi is that it lends itself perfectly to spawning long-running movie franchises that usually become pop culture icons with time.

The Western genre used to be defined by larger-than-life performers who frequently worked in the genre. James Stewart, John Wayne, William Holden, and Gary Cooper among others did so many western films that their names became synonymous with the genre itself. While the sheer amount of excellent western content has declined significantly over the course of the past few decades, Timothy Olyphant has been involved in many great western movies and television shows.
