In September 1966, Star Trek hit the airwaves with the release of the first television series in the science-fiction franchise. Though it was only on TV for three seasons, the Original Series became a cult classic in the 1970s and 1980s, and would go on to birth five more television series and 13 feature films.

The first Star Trek TV series was simply known as Star Trek at the time, but has gone on to be remembered by the moniker The Original Series because several sequel and prequel TV series have been released in the 50 years since the debut of the original. Sequel series on TV include The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and the upcoming Picard series. Two prequel series have also been produced in the form of Enterprise and Discovery.
