Star Trek is forever. As we look forward to Season 5 of Discovery and the exciting new series in the pipeline, we’re celebrating the franchise’s stunning legacy. There is no pop culture phenomenon quite like Star Trek. On Sept. 8, 1966, the original Star Trek debuted and became the first science-fiction TV show, with continuing characters, for adults. Before Star Trek, sci-fi on television was limited to anthology series like The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, or family-oriented shows like Lost in Space. In these pages you’ll find everything you need to know about the past, present, and future of the Star Trek franchise, including the upcoming show Starfleet Academy, the new Michelle Yeoh stand-alone Trek movie, and rumors of a Picard spinoff, Star Trek: Legacy. Discover little-known trivia and behind-the-scenes secrets and see where you stand when it comes to our complete ranking of the best Star Trek captains, as we search, boldly, for the deeper meaning in the furthest reaches of space.
