The Best Star Trek Series of the Modern Era (and the Worst)

Star Trek's modern era, spanning from 2017's Discovery to the present, boasts a diverse range of shows, from dramatic sci-fi to animation and comedy. This makes direct comparisons challenging, especially considering the varying quality across seasons within a single series. This ranking considers each show's complete run, not just peak performance.

This article presents a ranking of the best and worst Star Trek series of this modern era, encompassing the Paramount+ offerings, including the recently released Star Trek: Section 31 movie (initially conceived as a series). In less than eight years, this era has produced five new series (two animated) plus the Short Treks anthology.

The diverse formats – including feature-length films, animated series, and short-form content – add another layer of complexity to any comparison.
