Watching all of the Star Trek series in timeline order is a great way to experience the final frontier. Created by Gene Roddenberry, Star Trek (now dubbed Star Trek: The Original Series) premiered in 1966. After only lasting 3 seasons on NBC, little could anyone have guessed that Star Trek would endure for 57 years and spawn a dozen TV series (and counting) as well as 13 feature films.
Watching Star Trek was relatively simple throughout the 1960s into the early 2000s. Star Trek: The Original Series began with the 23rd-century voyages of the Starship Enterprise commanded by Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner). After Star Trek was revived as a movie franchise in 1979, a spinoff titled Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered in 1987 and depicted the adventures of the new USS Enterprise-D in the 24th century. Two more spinoffs followed before the first prequel series set in the 22nd century, Star Trek: Enterprise, premiered in 2001. Today, Star Trek on Paramount+'s five current series take place throughout the Star Trek timeline, from the 23rd century to the distant future of the 32nd century. Here's the proper timeline order to watch every Star Trek series.
