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 several years, 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, 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 rival streaming service Netflix.
