After outliving 6 Star Trek TV shows, Star Trek Online deserves more love

The article examines the conclusion of Star Trek television’s recent era, which began in 2017 with Discovery and is now coming to an end. Discovery concluded in 2024, while Strange New Worlds will air its final full season this summer, followed by a truncated fifth season next year. Starfleet Academy will also conclude after receiving one additional season for a total of two, airing next year. Three other series from this era have already wrapped up: Picard, Prodigy, and Lower Decks. In total, six Star Trek television shows have now concluded.
