Trek Tiers: Ranking Modern Star Trek

by Mila Feb 19,2025

Star Trek's resurgence since 2017's Star Trek: Discovery has been a rollercoaster, culminating in the recent Paramount+ release of Star Trek: Section 31. While opinions on the film are mixed, the franchise as a whole boasts some truly exceptional entries.

Following the highs of Strange New Worlds and the less-than-stellar reception of Section 31, we invite you to rank all the modern-era Star Trek series. We're including Section 31 as a series in this ranking due to its origins.

Create your own tier list below and compare it to other IGN community rankings. Do you agree with Strange New Worlds' top spot? Does Discovery deserve a higher ranking than its current placement? The choice is yours!

Modern Era Star Trek Series Ranking

Personally, I found Picard's third season a significant improvement, more than compensating for the shortcomings of the first two seasons, earning it an A in my ranking. Prodigy, a delightful surprise and essentially the Voyager sequel I never knew I wanted, also holds a special place in my heart, deserving at least a B, if not higher.
