Modern Era Star Trek Series Ranked

Author: Max Apr 18,2025

Since the launch of *Star Trek: Discovery* in 2017, the franchise has been thriving in the modern era, culminating with the recent release of *Star Trek: Section 31* on Paramount+. While *Section 31* didn't meet our high expectations, there have been several standout moments across the series that truly shine as some of *Star Trek*'s finest.

With the varied experiences of *Section 31* and the acclaimed *Strange New Worlds*, it's an opportune moment for fans to rank the modern *Star Trek* series and make their voices heard. Although *Section 31* is a movie, we're including it in our rankings because it originally began as a planned series!

Now's your chance to create your own tier list and see how your rankings stack up against those of the IGN community. Do you believe *Strange New Worlds* should claim the top spot? Or do you think *Discovery* merits a higher grade than the current D it's receiving? It's all up to you!

Star Trek Series of the Modern Era

Personally, I found the third season of *Picard* to be exceptionally compelling, redeeming the shortcomings of its first two seasons and earning a solid A in my book. *Prodigy* also holds a special place in my heart as an unexpected sequel to *Voyager*, deserving at least a B, if not higher!

You can view my tier list below. After checking it out, dive into our guide on how to watch *Star Trek* in order, get the latest updates on the upcoming *Star Trek* live-action comedy and *Starfleet Academy* series, and explore what happened to *Star Trek 4*.
