"Modern Era Star Trek Series Ranked"

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 22,2025

Since the launch of *Star Trek: Discovery* in 2017, the Star Trek franchise has been making significant strides in the modern era, culminating in the recent addition of *Star Trek: Section 31* on Paramount+. Although *Section 31* didn't meet our highest expectations, there have been numerous standout moments that stand shoulder to shoulder with the best of Star Trek.

Given the mixed reception of *Section 31* and the acclaimed success of *Strange New Worlds*, it's an opportune moment for you to weigh in and rank all the modern era Star Trek series. Even though *Section 31* is technically a movie, we're including it in our rankings since it initially began as a proposed series.

Below, you can create your own tier list and compare it with the rest of the IGN community. Do you believe *Strange New Worlds* deserves its top spot? Is *Discovery* unfairly graded with a D? It's all up to you!

Personally, I found the third season of *Picard* to be exceptional, more than compensating for the shortcomings of its first two seasons, earning it an A in my book. *Prodigy* also holds a special place in my heart as it feels like the *Voyager* sequel I never knew I needed, warranting at least a B, if not higher!

Check out my tier list below, and then 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 read our analysis of what happened to *Star Trek 4*.
