From the original series to Starfleet Academy, and Season 4 of Strange New Worlds when it arrives later this year, Paramount Plus is the best place to watch Star Trek, period. I’m old enough to remember when the franchise was spread across several streaming services, but now, with the exception of Star Trek: Prodigy, everything is on Paramount Plus.
If you missed out on Starfleet Academy, now is the time to take advantage of this offer. Aside from a new, younger cast, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy features some familiar faces from Star Trek: Discovery and the return of Star Trek: Voyager’s holographic doctor.
Will it take you a month to skip the first ten episode season? No, but that’s where Paramount Plus’ vast back catalog of Star Trek comes in. You can stream virtually every Trek show and episode ever made, including Star Trek: Lower Decks and the animated version of the original series. Both seasons of Paramount’s Halo series are there too, and for family members with less sci-fi leanings, you’ve got shows like Sylvester Stallone’s Tulsa King and Yellowstone spin-off 1883.
Key features: Almost every Star Trek series and movie, including the new Starfleet Academy Show, ready to stream. Paramount Plus also has a huge catalog of other shows and movies, which can be viewed on a variety of devices.
Price history: We’ve seen Paramount Plus offer a variety of deals in the past, but sometimes you have to lock in a year. $2.99 a month for ad-free Paramount Plus Premium is a real steal (and the ad-supported tier is a great deal, too), saving you $6 a month and $11 a month for the first two months, respectively.
Consensus: If you’re a Trekkie, the Paramount Plus is an absolute must. From movies to series, live-action and animated, you’ll find hours of Star Trek content on the service. Whether it’s old or new Trek you fancy, you’re spoiled for choice. There’s also a wealth of non-sci-fi content, from 1883 to Tulsa King.
