About
As of 2026, it's 39 years old.
Star Trek: The Next Generation had the unenviable job of following the original without the original cast, and it didn't just survive — it arguably surpassed its parent. A new ship, a new crew, and a calm, Shakespearean captain in Patrick Stewart's Jean-Luc Picard made it smart, philosophical, and beloved.
It gave the franchise some of its greatest moments and villains (the Borg, and the eternal cry to 'make it so'), proving the universe was bigger than any single crew.
Thoughtful, polished, and genuinely worthy, The Next Generation is the rare sequel series that boldly went and actually got there.
