Every Star Trek Series of the Modern Era Tier List

Author:Kristen Update:Mar 21,2025

Since 2017's Star Trek: Discovery, the franchise has enjoyed a resurgence, culminating in the recent release of Star Trek: Section 31 on Paramount+. While Section 31 may not have met all expectations, the modern era of Star Trek boasts some truly exceptional entries.

With the mixed reception of Section 31 and the critical acclaim of Strange New Worlds, now's the perfect time to rank the modern Star Trek series. We're including Section 31, even though it's a film, as it originated as a series concept.

Create your own tier list below and compare it to the IGN community's rankings. Do you agree that Strange New Worlds reigns supreme? Does Discovery deserve a higher ranking than its current placement? The power is in your hands!

Star Trek Series of the Modern Era

Personally, I found Picard's third season a revelation, more than compensating for the shortcomings of its predecessors, earning a solid A in my book. Prodigy, too, holds a special place in my heart; it's the Voyager sequel I never knew I wanted, easily deserving a B, if not higher.

Check out my tier list below, then explore our guides on watching Star Trek in chronological order, the latest updates on the live-action comedy and Starfleet Academy series, and our analysis of what happened to Star Trek 4.
