Modern Era Star Trek Series Ranked

Author: Ellie May 07,2025

Star Trek has been making quite a name for itself in the modern era, especially since the launch of Star Trek: Discovery in 2017. The franchise's latest addition, Star Trek: Section 31, which is available on Paramount+, marks the seventh entry in this revival. While Section 31 didn't meet all our expectations, it has moments that stand tall among Star Trek's finest.

Given the mixed reception to Section 31 and the acclaim for Strange New Worlds, now is the perfect time for you to rank all the modern era Star Trek series and movies. Yes, we're including Section 31 in the mix, even though it's a movie, because it originally started as a planned series.

You can create your own tier list and compare it with the IGN community. Do you believe Strange New Worlds deserves its top spot? Should Discovery be rated higher than its current D ranking? The decision is in your hands!

Personally, I found the third season of Picard to be exceptional, making up for the shortcomings of the first two seasons and earning a solid A. Prodigy also holds a special place in my heart, serving as an unexpected yet delightful sequel to Voyager. I believe it merits at least a B, if not higher.

Feel free to check out my tier list below. After that, you can explore how to watch Star Trek in chronological order, get the latest updates on the upcoming Star Trek live-action comedy and Starfleet Academy series, and delve into what happened with Star Trek 4.
