Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is the most mainstream Star Trek on Paramount+ series, with its recognizable characters set aboard the iconic USS Enterprise.

Star Trek Needs Wider Distribution
It's heartening to see Star Trek: Strange New Worlds become a Top 10 show on Prime Video. Star Trek is a 60-year-old I.P. with a global fanbase, and it's a crown jewel property for Paramount. However, the new Star Trek series, like Strange New Worlds, only being available on Paramount+ in the United States limits the franchise's ability to grow and become exposed to new audiences.Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has the most mainstream appeal of Paramount+'s new Star Trek series, and it is guaranteed to run for five seasons. From comedy, to action, to pure sci-fi, and even Star Trek's first-ever musical episode, there's something to appeal to everyone in Strange New Worlds. The more people who become fans of Strange New Worlds, the healthier not just the series, but the Star Trek franchise, will become.
