List of Star Trek films

Star Trek is an American science fictionmedia franchise that started with a television series (simply called Star Trek but now referred to as Star Trek: The Original Series) created by Gene Roddenberry. The series was first broadcast from 1966 to 1969. Since then, the Star Trek canon has expanded to include many other series, a film franchise, and other media.

The film franchise is produced by Paramount Pictures and began with Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979. That film and the five that followed all starred the cast of The Original Series. The seventh film, Star Trek Generations (1994), was designed to serve as a transition from the original cast to that of the next series, Star Trek: The Next Generation. The next three films just starred the cast of The Next Generation, and ended with Star Trek: Nemesis (2002), which disappointed at the box office.

After a break of several years, a new film simply titled Star Trek was released in 2009. It serves as a reboot of the franchise, with new actors portraying younger versions of the Original Series characters, but it is technically a narrative continuation set in an alternate timeline called the "Kelvin Timeline". Two sequels were produced. From 2015 to 2025, several attempts at a fourth reboot film or other continuation were attempted. During that time, the franchise's first television film, Star Trek: Section 31 (2025), was released on the streaming service Paramount+; it is set in the original timeline.

Following the merger of Skydance Media and Paramount Global, the new Paramount Skydance chose not to continue the reboot films. A new feature film is in development as a fresh start for the franchise.
