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.

Star Trek's Mysterious New Movie Could Re-Use an Old Franchise Trick

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.

The Star Trek: Voyager Sequel You’ve Always Wanted Already Exists

During its initial three-year run (1966-1969) on NBC-TV, one of the defining characteristics of Star Trek (aka Star Trek: The Original Series) was its unabashed optimism about humanity’s future and its relationship to the rest of the cosmos. Here was a science fiction series which proclaimed that by the 23rd century, humankind would all but end war, racism, violence, personal conflict, sexism (well, sort of), and more of our most grievous failings, so that it could soar into the stars as part of a galactic consortium (the United Federation of Planets) of like-minded races and civilizations.

In the 1960s, science fiction television was changed forever by two brilliant shows, one in the U.S. and the other in the U.K. In 1963, Doctor Who revolutionized the nature of the family sci-fi serial on television, Then, in 1966, Star Trek changed the game with the first episodic sci-fi series aimed at adults with continuing characters. Six decades later, Doctor Who has outgrown its “kid show” origins, while Star Trek extended to with various spinoffs into nearly every demographic imaginable. Together, Who and Trek represent the stalwarts for what TV sci-fi can accomplish. Plus, both franchises possess similar philosophical DNA: the ethical dilemmas faced by members of Starfleet very often share parallels with the troubles encountered by the Doctor and their companions.
