This page gathers the modern streaming wave of Star Trek, the run of series that revived the franchise for a new platform and a new audience starting in 2017. It is a TV-only grouping with a deliberately wide range: Discovery's serialized drama, Strange New Worlds' return to episodic exploration aboard Captain Pike's Enterprise, the animated comedy of Lower Decks, and Picard's elegiac sequel that brought Patrick Stewart's captain out of retirement.
What is striking is how varied these shows are in tone, from prestige arcs to broad parody, all sharing the same universe. Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks rate highest here, which fits a fan consensus that prized the era's lighter, more classically Trek installments. Together they mark Star Trek's reinvention as an ongoing slate rather than a single flagship.
The The Modern Streaming Era franchise spans 4 series in the CrossBinge catalog.
