Written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, and directed by J. J. Abrams, Star Trek (2009) reinvigorated the Star Trek franchise, introducing a whole new generation to the voyages of the USS Enterprise.Star Trek (2009) begins with the destruction of the USS Kelvin, the death of Lt. George Kirk (Chris Hemsworth), and the birth of James T. Kirk (Chris Pine). Having traveled back in time and out for revenge, the Romulan Nero (Eric Bana) wreaks enough havoc to create the alternate Kelvin timeline.

Star Trek (2009) centers on the future Captain James T. Kirk as he attends Starfleet Academy, where he meets Dr. Leonard McCoy (Karl Urban), Nyota Uhura (Zoe Saldaña), and Spock (Zachary Quinto). The Starship Enterprise later faces off against Nero, saving Earth, but is unable to prevent the destruction of Vulcan.

In the sequel to Star Trek (2009), Star Trek Into Darkness adapts the story of one of the most popular original Star Trek films, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Aboard the USS Enterprise, Kirk and Spock embark on a mission to apprehend Commander John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch), who turns out to actually be the notorious tyrant, Khan Noonien-Singh.

J.J Abrams rebooted Star Trek in 2009 with a new USS Enterprise crew & the creation of the Kelvin Timeline, ushering in a new era of modern Star Trek.

Captain Kirk eventually sacrifices himself to save the Enterprise just as Leonard Nimoy’s Spock did in Wrath of Khan, but is revived using Khan’s blood. Like Star Trek (2009), Into Darkness leans into blockbuster sci-fi action, forgoing the more cerebral aspects of Trek. With a screenplay by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Damon Lindelof, the controversial Star Trek Into Darkness did well at the box office (though not quite as well as its predecessor) and received mostly positive reviews from critics, though mixed reviews from Star Trek fans.

Star Trek: Discovery brought the franchise into the era of streaming television, opening with a dark, heavily serialized season that was unlike anything Star Trek had done before. Beginning as a prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series, Discovery had plenty for Trek fans to love and also introduced countless new fans to the franchise. Centering on Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), Star Trek: Discovery featured a new starship with an experimental spore drive and a cast of incredibly compelling characters.

Alex Kurtzman helped create
Star Trek: Discovery
along with Bryan Fuller, and Kurtzman served as showrunner from the second season on. He was joined by Michelle Paradise as co-showrunner beginning with
Discovery
season 3.

Star Trek: Discovery’s 5 seasons experimented with genres and tone but always managed to feel like Star Trek. At the end of Star Trek:Discovery season 2, the USS Discovery traveled over 900 years into the future, farther than any other Trek show had before. This allowed Star Trek: Discovery to move away from established canon and tell new stories about the Federation of the 32nd century.

Star Trek‘s first animated comedy that has become popular with old and new fans alike, Star Trek: Lower Decks leans to a deep love of the franchise with smart writing and lovable characters. Following the lower deckers among the eclectic crew of the USS Cerritos, Star Trek: Lower Decks crams numerous jokes and references to past Trek into every episode. In many ways, Lower Decks acts as a love letter to the entire Star Trek franchise, while also being pretty great Star Trek all on its own.

Great news: Star Trek: Lower Decks is coming back for season 5. Bad news: It’s the final season of Lower Decks on Paramount+.

Loosely based on the TNG episode of the same name, Lower Decks takes place in Star Trek’s TNG era, and has connections to Star Trek: The Next Generation,Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager. Lieutenants Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid) and Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome), in particular, are wonderful additions to Star Trek’s roster of great characters, and their adventures even crossed over to live-action on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Another first for the Star Trek franchise, Star Trek: Prodigy is a CGI animated series geared specifically toward a younger audience. Following the ragtag crew of the USS Protostar, Prodigy serves as a sequel of sorts to Star Trek: Voyager, as a hologram of Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) helps guide the young Protostar crew. Along the way Dal R’El (Brett Gray) and his friends learn some important lessons about what it means to be a Starfleet officer.

After being canceled by Paramount+ and removed from the streaming service, Star Trek: Prodigy was picked up by Netflix for its second season. In Star Trek:Prodigy season 2, Wil Wheaton’s Wesley Crusher made a surprise appearance as a Traveler working to save the universe. Admiral Janeway, Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran), and the Doctor (Robert Picardo) also played larger roles, becoming mentors for the Protostar kids. While Star Trek:Prodigy season 2 brought the story full circle with a satisfying conclusion, it also left the door open for more adventures with Dal and his friends.

In another spin-off of Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will follow a group of young cadets at the Starfleet Academy of the 32nd century. Created by Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau, Starfleet Academy also features Tawny Newsome as one of the writers and voices behind the scenes. As Lt. Beckett Mariner on Star Trek: Lower Decks, Newsome has already proven her comedic chops and has become one of the major voices in modern Star Trek.

With Holly Hunter as the Chancellor and Paul Giamatti as an unnamed villain, Starfleet Academy already has a stellar cast, including several Star Trek legacy characters. Robert Picardo will reprise his role as the Doctor, raising the question of what exactly the Emergency Medical Hologram has been up to in the last 800 years. Mary Wiseman will also return as Lt. Sylvia Tilly, as will Tig Notaro as Commander Jett Reno and Oded Fehr as Admiral Charles Vance. The Star Trek franchise has become a many-headed beast since Alex Kurtzman first signed on and remains a resounding success in his more-than-capable hands.
