A starship is stranded in the uncharted Delta Quadrant in this fourth 'Star Trek' series, the first to feature a female captain. Here, the crew grudgingly teams with Maquis rebels to try to return to Earth after Voyager is hurtled 70,000 light-years from Federation space.

Star Trek streaming guide: Where to watch the Star Trek movies and TV shows online

Our Star Trek streaming guide will allow you to go boldly where you've never gone before, without getting off your couch.

How to stream the Star Trek Movies in the US

How to stream the star trek tv shows in the us, how to stream the star trek movies in the uk, how to stream the star trek tv shows in the uk.

Here's our Star Trek streaming guide, so you know where to go boldly where you've never gone before... Without leaving your sofa. We've come up with this Star Trek streaming guide because since the first ever episode aired back in 1966, there's been  a huge number of additions into the franchise. 

Star Trek is currently in a bit of a purple patch for content as Paramount Plus , which is the home of all things Star Trek, is responsible for several new shows in recent years. But, it's not just new content, you'll also find where to stream the classics both movies and TV series below. 

Before, Star Trek content was scattered all around different streaming services and searching for what you wanted to watch could feel like hunting for a cloaked Bird of Prey. However, these days you're able to stream all Star Trek content out there on Paramount Plus. However, we do have round-ups of the best sci-fi movies and TV shows on Netflix , Disney Plus and Amazon if you want to check them out. 

You can also check out our take on the Star Trek movies, ranked so you know which movies to beam up onto your device. While Paramount Plus has everything Star Trek out there, you can find the odd bit of content on other platforms. So, below you'll find where you can watch what, regardless of where you're based, in our Star Trek streaming guide.  

The Star Trek movies can be divided into three tidy groups: the original cast, the Next Generation cast, and the reboot cast. All of them can be found on Paramount+. However, Paramount+ isn't the only place you can stream the movies and in some cases you can rent or buy from places such as Amazon .

Here’s how to stream the Star Trek movies in the U.S., in order of release:

Star Trek: The Motion Picture — Paramount+ Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan — Paramount+ Star Trek III: The Search for Spock — Paramount+ Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home — Paramount+ Star Trek V: The Final Frontier — Paramount+ Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country — Paramount+ Star Trek: Generations — Paramount+ Star Trek: First Contact — Paramount+ Star Trek: Insurrection — Paramount+ , Spectrum Star Trek: Nemesis — Paramount+   Star Trek (2009) — Paramount+ , Pluto TV Star Trek Into Darkness — Paramount+ , Pluto TV Star Trek Beyond — Paramount+ , DIRECTV , Freevee

When it comes to Star Trek on the small screen, you can find them all in one place. Paramount+ not only has every episode of every legacy Trek show, it’s also the home of all the new Star Trek programming, such as Picard and Strange New Worlds. If you’re a Trekkie, you absolutely want to have Paramount+ to keep up with the object of your affection. A word of warning though, other streaming platforms may only have select episodes or series to stream.

Star Trek: The Original Series — Paramount+ , Pluto TV Star Trek: The Next Generation — Paramount+ , Pluto TV Star Trek: Deep Space Nine  — Paramount+ , Sling , Spectrum Star Trek: Voyager — Paramount+ , Pluto TV Star Trek: Enterprise — Paramount+ Star Trek: Discovery — Paramount+ , DIRECTV Star Trek: Picard — Paramount+ Star Trek: Short Treks — Paramount+ Star Trek: Lower Decks — Paramount+ Star Trek: Prodigy — Paramount+ ,   DIRECTV , FuboTV , Spectrum Star Trek: The Animated Series — Paramount+ Star Trek: Strange New Worlds — Paramount+

Now that Paramount+ has arrived in the U.K, streaming Star Trek is a lot easier. You can view most of the movies on the streaming platform. Star Trek Beyond is the exception but that can be found on Amazon Prime. If you're not prepared to subscribe to Paramount+, the movies are available to rent or buy from a number of different platforms. 

Star Trek: The Motion Picture — Paramount+ Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan — Paramount+ Star Trek III: The Search for Spock — Paramount+ Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home — Paramount+ Star Trek V: The Final Frontier — Paramount+ Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country — Paramount+ Star Trek: Generations — Paramount+ Star Trek: First Contact — Paramount+ Star Trek: Insurrection — Paramount+ Star Trek: Nemesis — Paramount+ Star Trek (2009) — Paramount+ , Amazon Prime Star Trek Into Darkness — Paramount+ , Amazon Prime Star Trek Beyond — Amazon Prime

Now that Paramount+ has reached those across the pond, the U.K. can enjoy streaming Star Trek shows as well. Netflix is also another great option to fulfil your Trekkie viewing needs, especially if you're interested in checking out Star Trek: The Animated Series, which is exclusive to Netflix. 

However, for the likes of Picard and Lower Decks, you’ll have to hop on over to Amazon Prime. It's worth noting that platforms such as SkyGo may only have a select number of episodes or series to stream.

Star Trek: The Original Series —   Netflix , Paramount+ Star Trek: The Next Generation — Netflix , Paramount+ , SkyGo Star Trek: Deep Space Nine  — Netflix , Paramount+ Star Trek: Voyager — Netflix , Paramount+ Star Trek: Enterprise — Netflix , Paramount+ Star Trek: Discovery — Paramount+ Star Trek: Picard — Amazon Prime Video , Paramount+ Star Trek: Short Treks — N/A Star Trek: Lower Decks — Amazon Prime Video Star Trek: Prodigy — Paramount+ , SkyGo Star Trek: The Animated Series — Netflix Star Trek: Strange New Worlds — Paramount+

Star Trek: Voyager

Star Trek: Voyager is the fifth Star Trek series. It was created by Rick Berman , Michael Piller , and Jeri Taylor , and ran on UPN , as the network's first ever series, for seven seasons in the USA , from 1995 to 2001 . In some areas without local access to UPN, it was offered to independent stations through Paramount Pictures , for its first six seasons. The series is best known for its familial crew, science fiction based plots, engaging action sequences, and light humor. The writers often noted that many episodes had underlying themes and messages or were metaphors for current social issues. This is the first Star Trek series to feature a female captain in a leading role. However, Kathryn Janeway herself is not the first female captain to be seen within Star Trek as a whole. Additionally, the show gained in popularity for its storylines which frequently featured the Borg . Voyager follows the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation and ran alongside Star Trek: Deep Space Nine during its first five seasons.

Series summary [ ]

Launched in the year 2371 , the Intrepid -class Federation starship USS Voyager was a ship built to return to Starfleet 's founding principle of scientific exploration. It was fitting that the ship's captain , Kathryn Janeway , rose up through the science ranks rather than command. On the ship's first mission while departing the space station Deep Space 9 , which required it to find and capture a Maquis vessel that disappeared into the treacherous Badlands , the crew of Voyager , as well as that of the Maquis ship it was pursuing, were swept clear across the galaxy and deep into the Delta Quadrant . This was the doing of a powerful alien being known as the Caretaker . The seventy thousand light year transit cost the lives of over a dozen crew members. Captain Janeway was forced to destroy the massive alien array that housed the remains of the Caretaker. In doing so, she saved an alien race, the Ocampa , but stranded Voyager and the crew in the Delta Quadrant.

United in a common purpose, the surviving Maquis rebels joined with Janeway's Starfleet-trained crew on Voyager . Though a journey back to the Alpha Quadrant would have taken more than seventy years through unknown and treacherous territory , the crew of Voyager was well served by Janeway's skilled leadership and their own steadfast determination. Ultimately, Voyager returned to the Alpha Quadrant in seven years.

The crew's journey home was eventful. Voyager made first contact with over four hundred completely new species in the Delta Quadrant, discovered links to Earth 's early space exploration history , utilized and even pioneered new technologies, all the while engaging in countless other adventures. (" Distant Origin ")

The crew encountered species ranging from the violent and ruthless Kazon , the Phage -afflicted Vidiians , the colorful Talaxians and the ephemeral Ocampa . The crew's other encounters included run-ins with the temporal sophistication of the Krenim , the predatory Hirogen , the toxic Malon and the scheming Hierarchy . The crew picked up passengers along the way, including the wily but extremely resourceful Talaxian Neelix (who served, at times, as Voyager 's ambassador , morale officer , and even head chef ), along with the Ocampan telepath Kes (who, as a parting gift to the crew, used her powers of telekinesis to thrust Voyager 9,500 light years closer to the Alpha Quadrant).

Most memorable, however, were Voyager 's repeated clashes with the dreaded Borg . While each encounter posed grave danger, Voyager was able to prevail every time. At one point, Janeway actually negotiated a temporary peace with the Borg when they perceived a common threat in a mysterious alien species from fluidic space . (" Scorpion ") At other times, she was able to liberate drones from the Borg Collective , including Seven of Nine (who became a permanent member of the crew), Mezoti , Azan , Rebi , and Icheb . Other instances pitted Voyager against not only the Borg, but also against the nightmarish Borg Queen herself.

Several years after Voyager 's disappearance into the Delta Quadrant, Starfleet Command learned of the starship's fate. Subsequently, the Pathfinder Project was created, a Starfleet Communications project that attempted to communicate with Voyager through the MIDAS array , via a micro-wormhole and the Hirogen communications network . Thanks to the hard work and enthusiasm of Lieutenant Reginald Barclay , the communications technology improved to a level whereby contact could be made on a regular basis. In 2377 , the crew was able to receive monthly data streams from Earth that included letters from the crew's families, tactical upgrades, and news about the Alpha Quadrant.

By the end of the year, Voyager made a triumphant return to the Alpha Quadrant, under the guidance of Starfleet and the Pathfinder Project, by utilizing and then destroying a Borg transwarp hub , and after a turbulent trip, a celebration was held in honor of Voyager 's return back home.

Distinguishing Voyager [ ]

Despite the general prosperity of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , Paramount pressured Rick Berman for yet another Star Trek television series. Although it was decided very early on that the new series would be set aboard a starship once again, it was important for the writers to vary the series from Star Trek: The Next Generation in other ways. Berman stated, " When Voyager came around and we knew we were going to place the next series back on a starship we wanted to do it in a way that was not going to be that redundant when it came to The Next Generation . So we had a certain amount of conflict on the ship because of the Maquis. We had a different dynamic because we were not speaking every day to Starfleet and because we had a female captain. Those were the major differences that set this show apart from the others… It had the core belief of what Star Trek was all about, both in terms of the excitement and the action and in terms of the provocative elements of ideas that Star Trek has always been known to present to the audience. " ( Star Trek: Voyager Companion , p. ? )

The series' premise of being lost in deep space was itself a variation on a theme explored in The Next Generation . Michael Piller explained, " We remembered the episodes, many episodes, where Q would show up and throw one of our ships or one of our people off to a strange part of the universe. And we'd have to figure out why we were there, how we were going to get back, and ultimately – by the end of an episode – we'd get back home. But […] we started to talk about what would happen if we didn't get home. That appealed to us a great deal […] You have to understand that Rick, Jeri and I had no interest in simply putting a bunch of people on another ship and sending them out to explore the universe. We wanted to bring something new to the Gene Roddenberry universe. The fans would have been the first people to criticize us if we had not brought something new to it. But everything new, everything was… a challenge, in the early stages of development of Voyager." ("Braving the Unknown: Season 1", VOY Season 1 DVD special features)

Jeri Taylor concurred that Voyager had to be different from its predecessors. She stated, " We felt a need to create an avenue for new and fresh storytelling. We are forced into creating a new universe. We have to come up with new aliens, we have to come up with new situations. " Taylor also recalled, " We knew we were taking some risks. We decided, in a very calculated way, to cut our ties with everything that was familiar. This is a dangerous thing to do. There is no more Starfleet, there are no more admirals to tell us what we can and cannot do, there are no Romulans, there are no Klingons, there are no Ferengi, no Cardassians. All those wonderful array of villains that the audience has come to love and hate at the same time will no longer be there. This is a tricky thing to do. " ("Braving the Unknown: Season 1", VOY Season 1 DVD special features)

Differentiating the new series from what had gone before hardened the challenge of inventing the series' main characters. Jeri Taylor recounted, " It took a long, long time, it took us weeks and weeks and weeks, even to come up with a cast of characters, because we found that so many wonderful characters had already been done and we didn't want to exactly repeat ourselves. We'd come up with an idea then say, 'No, that's too much like Data ,' or, 'That's too much like Odo ,' or, 'That's too much like Worf .' So to try to find the right balance of characters, in terms of gender and alien species and that kind of thing, really took a long time. " ("Braving the Unknown: Season 1", VOY Season 1 DVD special features)

↑ John Van Citters listed "VGR" as the series' official abbreviation when announcing the "DSC" abbreviation for Star Trek: Discovery . [1] MA , among other venues, will continue to use the abbreviation VOY for Voyager , for historical reasons.

Reception [ ]

During its seven-year run, Star Trek: Voyager was nominated for 34 Emmy Awards , mostly in "technical" categories such as visual effects and makeup. It won seven, including "Outstanding Individual Achievement in Main Title Theme Music" for Jerry Goldsmith 's theme.

The Star Trek: Voyager Sequel You’ve Always Wanted Already Exists

The story of Star Trek: Voyager continues in Prodigy, the animated series that is as much for fans of '90s Trek as it is for a new generation of fans.

Star Trek is an ever-growing franchise, with 11 television series, plus two series of shorts and two separate film series. But despite all these spinoffs and spinoffs of spinoffs, only a couple of branches of the franchise have been given sequels. The Original Series has The Animated Series as a continuation, then its run of six sequel movies (seven, if you include Generations ), plus a prequel series ( Strange New Worlds ); and The Next Generation has four films and a sequel series ( Picard ), plus a spiritual sequel in Lower Decks . But Deep Space Nine has had to make do with a single episode of Lower Decks and Enterprise gets nothing but the occasional mention as easter eggs.

Voyager , however, has been more fortunate. The inclusion of Seven of Nine as a main character in Picard has already given at least one Voyager character the full sequel treatment, but some fans might not realize that there is another series that functions as a Voyager sequel in more ways than one— Star Trek: Prodigy .

Prodigy’s Two Audiences

One of Prodigy ’s biggest challenges has been to capture the interest of two separate target audiences. The series was produced with and also aired on the children’s channel Nickelodeon, and is aimed at children and teenagers. This also means it is aimed at new viewers, as no one assumes that children watching it will have seen any Star Trek before. The series introduces core concepts like what Starfleet is and how starships function in the Trek universe to brand new fans, and it does so very well.

However, it is also aimed at existing Star Trek fans of all ages. Season 1 of the show includes many callbacks and references to earlier Star Trek series that fans of those shows can appreciate. The episode “Crossroads,” for example, is a sequel to The Next Generation’ s “The Outrageous Okona”; “All the World’s a Stage” is a sequel to the Original Series ’ “Obsession” and the whole episode is basically an Original Series homage; and “Kobayashi” hasn’t just taken its name from the most overly referenced Star Trek story of all time ( The Wrath of Khan ), it actually features guest appearances from several past Star Trek stars who are no longer with us in the form of original audio clips (Leonard Nimoy, Nichelle Nichols, James Doohan, and Rene Auberjonois) and a guest appearance from Gates McFadden as The Next Generation ’s Doctor Crusher in newly recorded dialogue.

Prodigy Features Several Main Characters From Voyager

Most fans will be aware that one of its main characters is a hologram of Voyager ’s Captain and main character, Kathryn Janeway, played by Kate Mulgrew. Janeway primarily appears in the form of a hologram of Captain Janeway at around the age she was when Voyager was lost in the Delta Quadrant (based on her rank, as she was promoted to Admiral not long after they got back, and on her hairstyle, which matches Janeway’s famous “bun of steel” from Seasons 1-3 of Voyager ). This hologram is programmed with all of Janeway’s memories (including post- Voyager , as it would hardly make sense for her to exist like a time traveler who doesn’t know what’s going on) and with her personality, making Kathryn Janeway an integral part of Prodigy from the start.

What viewers who have not watched the series might not know, though, is that hologram Janeway is not the only character from Voyager who appears in Prodigy . As the season goes on, we also get to meet Admiral Janeway—the flesh and blood Janeway we followed for seven years on her journey through the Delta Quadrant, as she is at the time Prodigy is set, which is in the year 2383. (This is just after the setting of Lower Decks , which is set in 2380-2381, and a couple of decades before Picard , which is set primarily in 2399-2401). As the storyline develops, we get to meet another main character from Voyager as well, and a third, Robert Picardo’s Doctor, is lined up to appear in season 2.

One thing grown up fans might not realize is that Prodigy is aimed at middle grade and teenage children. It’s not like some other animated spin-offs of major franchises, like Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures or Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends , which are aimed at pre-schoolers and which, although fun, don’t have all that much appeal to an adult audience. Prodigy may be animated, but it is much more similar to something like The Whoniverse’s The Sarah Jane Adventures ; the lead characters are children and teenagers, but the plot, tone, and themes are all sophisticated enough to be enjoyed by grown ups as well—in fact, Prodigy probably skews slightly older even than The Sarah Jane Adventures .

This means, among other things, that the adult and mentor characters—primarily Janeway—in Prodigy get as much attention and character development as the young leads. The Captain Janeway hologram has a lovely little story arc that builds to an emotional climax across the whole of season 1. But even more importantly for Voyager fans, Admiral Janeway has her own story arc going on as well. Over the course of the season, we see her reacting to a deeply personal loss, and we see some of her most notorious character traits playing out in a new setting—this Janeway may be older and rank higher, but she still leads with her heart, and she still makes mistakes sometimes when she trusts the wrong person, or jumps to conclusions. This is recognizably the character we know and love from Voyager !

Towards the end of the season and in the cliffhanger going into season 2, Prodigy also picks up on one of Voyager ’s best character relationships, which was notoriously neglected in the original show’s series finale—Janeway’s relationship with her First Officer, Chakotay (Robert Beltran). These two were one of the show’s most popular couples to “ship” romantically and the show itself dedicated at least two episodes to that idea (season 2’s “Resolutions” and Season 7’s “Shattered”) though in both cases they decided to stay just friends. Chakotay was paired with Seven of Nine towards the end of season 7, but that pairing was so unpopular with both fans and even the actors that it has never been mentioned again, and a suggested appearance from an alternate timeline version of Chakotay in Picard season 2 was turned down by Beltran .

Chakotay has made several guest appearances in Prodigy , though, including a flashback sequence that shows him and Admiral Janeway hugging, and there is a moment towards the end of the season in which Janeway is seen reaching out towards his image while he is missing in action. Since Prodigy is aimed at teenagers, not young children, it’s free to explore romantic storylines in a family-friendly way, and one of its recurring threads is the somewhat romantic tension between its main character Dal R’El (Brett Gray) and Gwyndala (Ella Purnell), so there is hope for Janeway/Chakotay shippers yet.

Whether or not the show intends to develop Janeway and Chakotay’s relationship romantically, it is certainly bringing their friendship to the front and center of its storyline—he cliffhanger which ended season 1 is built entirely around Admiral Janeway’s determination to find and rescue Chakotay. In other words, all of the tension around the end of the first season of Prodigy is about this central Voyager relationship and is carrying on a Voyager plot thread. Thank goodness Netflix has picked up season 2 after it was dropped by Paramount+, as having that particular carrot dangled in front of Voyager fans only to have it taken away again was just too cruel!

Prodigy Is Also a Sequel to Voyager’s Plot and Story Arcs

Prodigy also functions as a continuation of Voyager ’s central concept and is able to pick up on other aspects of its story. In Voyager ’s pilot episode, the ship was stranded in the Delta Quadrant, a distant part of the galaxy more than 70,000 light years from Earth, a distance it would take “more than 75 years” to cover, even going at top speed all the time. The series followed the ship’s journey back home, combining Trek’ s traditional theme of exploration with episodes centered around trying to find a quicker way to get back. It featured a crew that had absorbed a non-Starfleet Maquis ship (a resistance group fighting the Cardassians) alongside the Starfleet crew.

The show became notorious for using an episodic style similar to The Original Series and The Next Generation rather than leaning more on its story arcs like Deep Space Nine as many fans would have preferred, and the concept of two conflicting crews working together was largely ignored after a handful of episodes in season 1. However, the ideas were still there, driving the show. There were occasional stories looking at the conflicts between crewmembers in later seasons, like season 7’s “Repression,” and although the format was primarily Space Anomaly of the Week, the journey home was a story that developed across all seven seasons, with multiple episodes focused on attempts to get home more quickly.

The Delta Quadrant setting also allowed Voyager to put a lot of focus on exploration and Original Series -style Planets of the Week, introducing viewers to lots of new alien species that the show added to the Star Trek universe. The Talaxians, the Kazon, the Hirogen, the Vidiians, and the Malon are probably the most memorable, but there were many others, as well as many interactions with Delta Quadrant-based Next Generation baddies the Borg .

The core concept of Prodigy follows on directly from Voyager ’s. In the pilot episode, we meet our motley crew of young aliens in the Tars Lamora prison colony in the Delta Quadrant. They are all of different races and one of them, Gwyndala, is initially an antagonist to the others, just like Voyager ’s two opposing crews.

By the end of the initial two-parter, our heroes have got their hands on the USS Protostar , a prototype for a small Starfleet ship that can travel much, much faster than any others we have seen. The ship was sent out to return to the Delta Quadrant, captained by Chakotay and accompanied by the Captain Janeway hologram, because they are the experts in that part of the galaxy and already have some contacts there, but it was attacked and lost before being found by Dal R’El and the others.

The Show Is Full of Voyager References and Easter Eggs

The action kicks off in the Delta Quadrant, picking up the pieces from a mission that was specifically designed to follow up on Voyager ’s journey. Over the course of season 1, we have seen appearances from the Kazon, the Borg, and the Brenari (a telepathic species whose refugees were helped by Voyager ’s crew in season 5’s “Counterpoint”), and we have heard references to the Talaxians as well as a more obscure Voyager species, such as the Sakari (the species living underground in season 3’s “Blood Fever”). Janeway has even mentioned the events of Voyager ’s most infamous episode, one so unpopular on its initial release that fans thought it had been written out of the continuity, but which is actually really rather fun and entertaining and is now probably one of its best known hours—she mentions that she was “once turned into a salamander,” a reference to her and Lt. Paris’s (Robert Duncan McNeil) transformation into lizards before abandoning their lizard babies in season 2’s “Threshold.”

The writers have even given the Protostar a new feature to fix one of Voyager ’s most notorious plot holes. The USS Voyager was lost in the Delta Quadrant with minimal resources, and several episodes revolved around the search for deuterium fuel. And yet somehow, despite numerous shuttlecraft crashes, many of which were specifically described as having destroyed the shuttlecraft, the ship never seemed to run out of shuttles.

Starfleet ships of this era are generally equipped with two shuttlecraft, as was Voyager , plus they had Neelix’s (Ethan Phillips) ship, which they hardly ever used. In season 5, they built their own shuttle, the Delta Flyer, which they proceeded to crash just as often as the other shuttles, if not more so. And yet they never ever ran out. Entire websites were devoted to counting how many shuttlecraft Voyager had lost and apparently replaced with identical shuttles. Were the crewmembers Janeway didn’t like trapped in the bowels of the ship somewhere, building and re-building shuttles? Why did they build them exactly the same every time, and keep giving them the same names? How were they constantly running out of fuel, having to ration replicator food, forcing everyone to eat Neelix’s hair pasta and leola root stew because they didn’t have energy to spare, but they were able to keep up a constant stream of replicated shuttles? This mystery has never been solved, but the writers of Prodigy thought ahead—the Protostar has a replicator specifically designed to replicate shuttlecraft-sized vehicles.

Voyager is not the only Star Trek series referenced in Prodigy . The show is absolutely bursting with references, easter Eggs, and follow-ups to stories, species, and tech from all of the pre-2017 Star Trek series. But its plot, setup, and story and character development make it not just a “spiritual sequel” to Star Trek: Voyager —it is literally a sequel series to Voyager , continuing Voyager ’s plot threads and further developing its setting. If you’re a Star Trek: Voyager fan and you haven’t yet watched Prodigy , you’re missing out.

Star Trek: Prodigy season 3 hits Netflix on July 1.

What Star Trek: Voyager Star Robert Beltran Looks Like Today

One of the most prominent characters on "Star Trek: Voyager" is Robert Beltran's Chakotay, a complicated figure who serves as Captain Janeway's (Kate Mulgrew) first officer. 

A Starfleet officer whose ship is stranded in the Delta Quadrant just like Voyager, Chakotay becomes a high-ranking member of the rogue Maquis movement before allying himself with Janeway's crew, effectively juggling the dual roles of a Maquis higher-up and a Starfleet vessel's Number Two — until the Maquis resistance becomes one of many unresolved "Star Trek: Voyager" plotlines and Voyager effectively absorbs the Maquis crew members. Fortunately, Chakotay proves to be adept in his role as Janeway's second-in-command, and his combination of moral values and survival-oriented pragmatism becomes a crucial asset in the Voyager crew's travels. 

Impressively enough,  Beltran landed the role of Chakotay without any knowledge of the "Star Trek" franchise , and went on to appear in all 168 episodes of "Star Trek: Voyager." When the series concluded in 2001, he, like other cast members, continued his career in other projects. Here's what he looks like today and what he's been up to after "Voyager" ended.

What Robert Beltran has been doing after Voyager

Robert Beltran has acted sporadically after "Star Trek: Voyager," mostly appearing in small guest star roles and TV movies, as well as occasional theater productions. His most prominent post-"Voyager" role was as the recurring character Jerry Flute on the HBO drama "Big Love."  

Beltran has returned to the "Star Trek" franchise and his iconic role on occasion, most notably voicing Chakotay in the animated "Star Trek: Prodigy." However, he  refused to revisit a controversial Chakotay arc , involving a romance with Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan), on "Star Trek: Picard," despite receiving an offer to reprise the role on the Paramount+ series. 

"I was offered an episode (first 2 then 1) in Picard but I simply did not like what they had written for Chakotay so I turned them down," Beltran wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.  "I won't go into detail but I have no animosity toward the Picard producers at all. ST Prodigy offers a Chakotay that I AM enthusiastic about." "Star Trek: Picard" showrunner Telly Matalas later revealed that the proposed arc would have featured an alternate-universe Chakotay in a villainous role.

Star Trek: Voyager Cast & Character Guide

Star trek gives chakotay the voyager reward he always deserved, 1 star trek: voyager episode has 3 sneaky first contact easter eggs.

• Robert Picardo addresses the possibility of a live-action Star Trek: Voyager reunion movie, considering it unlikely due to costs and lead time.
• The Doctor's return in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 showcases his mentorship role and involvement in critical missions.
• Picardo expresses openness to reprising his role in live-action if a Voyager reunion does come to fruition, drawing parallels to the success of Next Gen's cast reunion.

Robert Picardo weighs in on the possibility of a live-action Star Trek: Voyager reunion movie. Picardo played The Doctor for all 7 seasons of Star Trek: Voyager , and he reprises his iconic role as the acerbic Emergency Medical Hologram in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2. As part of the new USS Voyager-A's crew, The Doctor becomes a mentor to the young Starfleet hopefuls of the USS Protostar, and he plays a key role in Admiral Kathryn Janeway's (Kate Mulgew) mission to rescue Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran) from an alternate future timeline.

In an upcoming exclusive interview with Screen Rant about his comeback as The Doctor in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 , Robert Picardo was asked his thoughts about reuniting the cast of Star Trek: Voyager for a live-action streaming movie on Paramount+ . While Picardo calls a full-fledged Voyager comeback "unlikely," he also says it would be "great" if it happens. Read Robert's quote below:

You know, of course, that would be great. I think it's unlikely considering the cost and the lead time for those projects. It's unlikely but anything's possible in the world of Star Trek. And it was so successful with the Next Gen cast and who knows? Maybe we'll get the shot.

In its seven seasons, Star Trek: Voyager introduced many new faces to the Trek universe. Here is a breakdown of the show's main cast and characters.

Can A Star Trek: Voyager Reunion Movie Happen?

Star trek on paramount+ has top-secret surprises in the works.

Star Trek: Prodigy is essentially a spiritual sequel to Star Trek: Voyager , with Admiral Janeway, Captain Chakotay, The Doctor, and the USS Voyager-A central to season 2. Still, Star Trek: Voyager is arguably more popular now than it was during its broadcast run in the 1990s, when Star Trek' s first female Captain to lead her own series inspired a generation of young women. A new generation has grown up watching Star Trek: Voyager on streaming, and the main actors are still working, with many involved in Star Trek on Paramount+ and, of course, Star Trek: Prodigy on Netflix.

Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) became Captain of the USS Enterprise-G in Star Trek: Picard season 3's early 25th century.

Star Trek movies made-for-streaming on Paramount+ kick off with Star Trek: Section 31 , starring Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh. Section 31 's potential success opens the door for more 2-hour Star Trek streaming events . As Robert Picardo alluded to, a full-fledged, live-action Star Trek: Voyager reunion would be a draw akin to the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation reassembling in Star Trek: Picard season 3 . More Voyager names could easily join Star Trek: Prodigy season 3 if it happens, but the possibility of a live-action Star Trek: Voyager reunion movie is something Paramount+ should consider.

Star Trek: Voyager's Robert Picardo Reveals the Challenges of Prodigy Return

Robert Picardo recently discussed Star Trek: Prodigy , revealing the challenges he faced playing his Star Trek: Voyager character in the show. The actor portrayed The Doctor in Voyager , before returning for the acclaimed second season of Prodigy .

Picardo discussed his animated return as The Doctor almost thirty years after he last played the character in an interview with Collider . "I've done a fair amount of animation throughout my career, but I have never played a character in animation that I created in live-action ," he said. "So, it was familiar in some respects doing it, but very different and unique that I was trying to play a character that I had started playing 30 years ago, this coming August."

Star Trek: Prodigy EP Teases Chris Pine's Captain Kirk in Potential Third Season

Star Trek: Prodigy co-executive producer Aaron J. Waltke reveals Chris Pine's Captain Kirk could feature in a potential third season.

The Star Trek actor described the technical challenge he faced transitioning his live-action The Doctor to animation. "So, mostly the technical challenge, I thought, was pitching my voice up because as I've gotten older, my voice sits down here, but the Doctor, especially when he was excited about something, would really breathlessly ramble," Picardo explained. "So the pace of his speech, especially when he was on his game and talking about something he'd figured out medically, and having to spew information at that high pace was the main challenge so that I sounded the same age vocally."

Picardo loves how The Doctor is written in Star Trek: Prodigy . "When I started to read the scripts that [Kevin] Hageman and their writing team created, it was fun to see that they use the Doctor well," he said. "All of the humorous things about him were carried forward, his self-delight, the fact that he was writing holo-novels, and no one was a bigger fan of his work than he was — all that fun stuff."

This New Star Trek Character Is a Touching Tribute to Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

A new figure in Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 is a touching callback to a character last seen in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, the one with the whales.

Robert Picardo Wants a Star Trek: Voyager Reunion Movie

In another recent interview, Picardo shared that he would love to appear in a Star Trek: Voyager reunion movie , although he does not expect one anytime soon. "You know, of course, that would be great. I think it's unlikely, considering the cost and the lead time for those projects. It's unlikely, but anything's possible in the world of Star Trek ," he said. "And it was so successful with the Next Gen cast, and who knows? Maybe we'll get the shot."

Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 , starring Picardo's The Doctor, is streaming on Netflix.

'Star Trek: Voyager' cast spills all the tea in new documentary trailer

From Kate Mulgrew to Garrett Wang, cast members reveal behind-the-scenes secrets of this iconic  Trek  series.

Credit: CBS via Getty Images

Star Trek: Voyager  is getting the documentary treatment and, if the first trailer for  To the Journey   is any indication, fans will be getting a very candid peek behind the curtain of the classic  Trek  series. 

The extended trailer made its debut on TrekMovie.com this week, with nearly seven minutes of cast and crew interviews that provide a glimpse into the creative struggles and Hollywood headaches that surrounded Voyager 's seven-season run from January 1995 to May 2001. Captain Janeway herself, Kate Mulgrew , offers a blunt recollection of her early days in the role, acting on set under the judgmental eyes of Paramount and then-UPN TV brass following the infamous departure of the show's original Janeway, French actor Geneviève Bujold.

Garrett Wong, who played Ensign Harry Kim, reveals that he was "the only Asian male series regular" on television at the time. Of any TV show. (And TV still has a long way to go to bridge that representation gap).

Other highlights include: Executive producers Jeri Taylor, Brannon Braga, and Rick Berman discussing the origins of the show and actor Robert Beltran, who played a member of the terrorist group the Maquis before becoming Janeway's first officer, shares insights into when former cast mate Jennifer Lien (who played Kes) was fired from the show. 

To the Journey is set for release later in 2022. Watch the trailer below.

Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ Season 2 On Netflix, Where The Ragtag Group Of Teen Starfleet Trainees Join Janeway On A Dangerous Mission

Where to stream:.

• Star Trek: Prodigy

‘Star Trek III’ at 40: The Story of How (and Why) Leonard Nimoy Brought Spock Back After Being Killed Off In ‘The Wrath of Khan’

‘star trek: strange new worlds’ renewed for season 4 at paramount+, bill maher applauds william shatner for controversial ‘star trek’ interracial kiss, patrick stewart was asked to wear a wig at his ‘star trek’ audition — a wig that flew by itself from heathrow to lax.

Star Trek: Prodigy has had a bit of a strange history. It debuted on Paramount+ two-and-a-half years ago, and got good reviews. But Paramount cancelled the show before streaming its second season. Who rides to the rescue? Only the big red N of Netflix, that’s who. They picked up not only the show’s first season but its already-produced second season.

STAR TREK: PRODIGY SEASON 2 : STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?

Opening Shot: A group of Starfleet warrant officers are in a training exercise. Then the tiny blobby warrant officer Murf (Dee Bradley Baker) gets a notification from Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew).

The Gist: All of the old ragtag group of teens that saved the Federation while flying the Protostar get the same notification: Murf, Dal (Brett Gray), Zero (Angus Imrie), Jankom Pog (Jason Mantzoukas) and Rok-Tahk (Rylee Alazraqui). Gwyn (Ella Purnell) has gone back to Solum, the home planet she never knew, to see if she can change the First Contact that will lead to the civil war 52 years later, the one that abandoned Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran) on the future version of the planet.

The quintet is met not by Janeway, but by The Doctor (Robert Picardo), one of Janeway’s closest confidants on the original Voyager . Janeway has invited them to join her on a new mission, this time on a new Voyager , working as interns in their area of interest. The mission is to observe the wormhole created when the Protostar was destroyed.

Dal is suspicious of the group’s interaction with Janeway when they get on board, as if the admiral was distracted by something. He’s also bored of the study he has to do for command training, so he’s intrigued when Zero tells him that the Doctor mentioned a third shuttle bay, even though the ship is only supposed to have two.

A quick trip down the Jefferies tubes, over Rok-Tahk’s objections, lands Dal, Zero, Murf and Jankom Pog in what looks like an empty shuttle bay. But they soon learn that it’s not empty; it contains a cloaked shuttle, which is against Starfleet regulations. Then Janeway, The Doctor, Commander Tysess (Daveed Diggs) and Counselor Noum (Jason Alexander) walk in; the four interns overhear what the cloaked ship, called the Infinity , is really for.

What Shows Will It Remind You Of? As we said before Season 1, Star Trek: Prodigy gives off the same vibes as Star Wars: The Bad Batch , but now the group a more fully canonical part of the Trek universe, so we might as well link this up with the original Voyager series.

Our Take: What we appreciate about Star Trek: Prodigy , which Netflix saved from the scrap heap after Paramount+ cancelled it, is that showrunners Kevin Hageman and Dan Hageman put together a pretty complex adventure despite the fact that the show is intended for kids.

In the second episode, Janeway ends up telling Dal and the others exactly what the Infinity is for: She wants to go through the wormhole and rescue Chakotay from the future version of Solum. That’s some pretty heavy stuff, and a dangerous mission to boot. And the mission Gwyn is on is pretty complex, as well, as she seeks to meet the younger version of her father, The Diviner (John Noble). All the while Aseincia (Jameela Jamil) is out to sabotage her efforts.

The show’s writers don’t shy away from the dangers of either of these missions, and there are red-shirt-type deaths that happen, at least in the abstract. And they’re not trying to dumb anything down, knowing that the kids who watch the show are smart, and their Trekker parents are going to pick apart any inconsistencies or dumbed down moments.

Given that the season plays out over 20 episodes, there should be plenty of time for this mission to unfold without having to skip details, and there will be time for Gwyn to rejoin the rest of the old Protostar gang. This is one of the cases where more episodes are helpful, as it gives the writers room to keep exploring relationships between the teen interns, other groups on the ship, as well as Janeway’s relationship with Chakotay. Will it all be canonical? Probably not. But there will be more than enough linkage to the rest of the Trek universe to keep fans happy.

What Age Group Is This For?: Besides the red-shirt-style deaths, there’s some hand-to-hand fighting and “pew-pew” phaser fights, so despite the show’s TV-Y7 rating, we think this is more for kids 10 and up.

Parting Shot: After overhearing Janeway and her executive officers, Dal says, “And this just got interesting!”

Sleeper Star: It’s always fun hearing Robert Picardo playing the Doctor again, but…

Most Pilot-y Line: We don’t remember the Doctor speaking with some sort of haughty upper-class voice in the original Voyager . Who directed Picardo to use a haughtier voice this time around?

Our Call: STREAM IT. Star Trek: Prodigy gives Trekkers a real adventure with canonical implications to wrap their minds around while providing action and characters kids can relate to. It’s a combination that we rarely see in kids’ extensions to existing franchises.

Recap/Review: ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ Goes To The Races In “The Fast And The Curious” [Episode 207]

@Anthony and @Laurie, do you think that the Trek prequel movie is really going into production this year, as Anthony suggests it has to if they are going to meet their announced release date? What percent chance do you give that actually happening?

Tony is much more tuned into the business side of things than I am (obviously), so he’s better qualified to guess at this one.

What we have so far are these writing announcements, and one post on Box Office Mojo for a Beyond sequel with no release date. And the cone of silence has (mostly) been in place since then.

There are some very public activities that have to happen when making a movie. Financing needs to be secured. Studio space blocked out. The production design folks are doing their works months in advance of principle photography. The legal guys are TM’ing everything they can. Buy the website domains. Gotta build the damn sets. So far, nothing. It’s not like the talent is getting calls and emails today, that production starts next Tuesday…..

I’m in wait and see mode. And I’m batting 1.000 so far on calling out that what they say and what they’re doing are very different.

I don’t believe I said they would be going into production. That would have to be next year, but by the end of this year they would likely have to at least start doing some things like hiring key people and of course casting if they want to go into pre-production early next year. Some of this can be done under the radar but casting tends to get out there in the trades, especially for major roles. A lot of this depends on if they’re aiming for a summer or a fall release in 2026.

I literally said the same thing a few weeks ago on another thread and something needs to happen by the end of the year. There’s five months to get in gear but per usual we been down this transwarp corridor to many times now.

You would think for a movie that’s supposed to be out in two years time now and supposedly with a writer and director that they would be talking up the movie at this point. Throw out bits and pieces when production could start, hints of the story, casting updates etc etc.

Instead it’s going down the exact same road as the others. They make these announcements they are starting it and then complete silence about anything else until it just withers away completely. So yeah my faith isn’t good but it hasn’t been for literally years now.

It’s mind boggling how they keep doing this over and over again.

Lower. The . Cone of silence!!

Years from now, when it no longer matters, I hope that somebody writes the definitive inside story of this era of Trek movie false alarms, missteps and course changes. I cannot fathom how this has been allowed to go on for so long; talk about illogical!

It took ten years between the end of TOS and the creation of the first movie, so there is precedent for indecision and false starts killing many Trek movie ideas.

What is different now is that the entire movie industry is in turmoil as theatrical films ebb in their importance relative to streaming. Paramount has a robust streaming Trek machine now, so the relative importance of getting a theatrical film together seems much less of a priority than it did in the oughts when Trek was off television. Star Wars seems to be going through the same pattern.

I think it’s a great idea that you aren’t covering all episodes at once. Just because all episodes are out at once doesn’t mean folks are able to watch it all at once. Thankfully my kids got into it and we ended up watching it all in a couple of days.

I’m conscience of overall spoilers but did anyone pick up how much the overall arch of the series had strong parallels with a relatively recent beta canon novel story line. I’d would like to hear Anthony’s and Laurie’s perspective on it in the podcast as it comes up.

I confess I am not up on beta canon! I read the novels as a kid but then stopped for decades, only checking out a few here and there… mostly the autobiography series.

All I’ll say is I enjoyed Dénes House’s review of them on the site ;-)

If its the one I think you’re referring to, I noticed that too. Of course, this one has a much happier ending than the novel trilogy.

Its so weird hearing Tony and Laurie speculate about what will happen next when so many of us have already seen the entire season. I guess there isn’t really a better way to do it though.

Tony/Laurie,

If I could pitch an idea for the next Kelvin-verse film, I’d live to see that cast in an adaptation of Garfield and Judith Reeves-Steven’s Prime Directive novel. It’s one of the best TOS novel and it’s perfect for a final Kelvin-verse mission.

I’m enjoying Prodigy. It feels like classic Star Trek. It’s the post-nemesis show I wanted. It is amazing what these writers can do with 23 minutes. They fit more character development plot, and science fiction concepts than most one hour shows. I’m not a binger, I like to savor the episodes too so I’m glad you two are doing it this way.

Unfortunately, while looking at google news, I saw a spoiler, made me mad, so be careful.

Have a great week!

There are so many parallels this season with Dal/Gwyn and J/C that it actively kills me. I will say more when you get further. Suffice it to say that these writers understand EXACTLY what they are doing.

The Wesley Crusher Star Trek: Voyager Crossover You Missed

Posted: July 12, 2024 | Last updated: July 13, 2024

Wesley Crusher was one of the more divisive characters on The Next Generation, with many early audiences reacting negatively to the precocious know-it-all child who constantly saved the day. The writing for the young man eventually got better, and by the time he made a surprise appearance in Picard, most fans were happy to see him. Weirdly enough, though, Wesley Crusher had another crossover, this time with Star Trek: Voyager, that most fans missed…specifically, the spatial trajector matrix in “Prime Factors” was the same prop used for Wesley’s superconductor magnet in the TNG episode “The Dauphin.” 

Prime Factors

For this tale of Wesley Crusher’s kinda-sorta crossover with Star Trek: Voyager to make sense, we need to first recap the episode in question. “Prime Factors” has Voyager encountering a planet of pleasure seekers with exotic technology that can transport them 40,000 lightyears away at a moment’s notice. The crew thinks this might get them home that much quicker, but the tech backfires when they try it because it is tied to the mantle of the planet and can’t be used to transport their ship (the attempt nearly causes a warp core breach).

The Spacial Trajector Matrix

Where does Wesley Crusher’s old prop come into all these Star Trek: Voyager shenanigans? The technology used by these aliens is powered by a spatial trajector matrix. Look closely at the prop and you’ll notice that it’s the exact same prop as Wesley’s superconductor magnet from the TNG episode “Dauphin,” one you get a good look at when the young man has his meetcute with Salia, the future leader of Daled IV.

Originally Had A Much Bigger TOS Connection

While that prop is the only thing tying Wesley Crusher to this Star Trek: Voyager episode, there was almost another big connection. The episode, as originally conceived by David R. George III and Eric A. Stillwell, would have had the aliens in the episode be the same ones who sent Gary Seven to Earth in The Original Series, where he was discovered by a time-traveling Captain Kirk.

The writers thought it would be fun for Captain Janeway to encounter aliens fully capable of transporting the crew back to Earth but who were hesitant to do so because of previous mistakes, essentially forcing Starfleet to deal with someone else’s Prime Directive.

The Picard Tie In

But how would that script change have tied Wesley Crusher to the Star Trek: Voyager episode when the writers just wanted to pay homage to The Original Series? The season 2 Picard episode brought Wesley back, and we find out that he and his fellow god-like Travelers have sent supervisors out to observe and, if necessary, preserve important historical moments. Gary Seven was one such supervisor, the revelation of which tied Wil Wheaton’s character to an Original Series episode that came out before he was even born.

Future Series Can Continue This Trend

While this prop crossover was the only real connective tissue between Wesley Crusher and Star Trek: Voyager, it’s always possible future shows or even films could retroactively add other connections. Star Trek’s first Mary Sue wasn’t connected to the Original Series, for example until a single episode of Picard “made it so.”

Maybe we’ll eventually find out that Wesley secretly dispatched a supervisor to witness the most important historical moment of all: that time Janeway went to warp 10, turned into a lizard, and had reptile babies with her himbo helmsman.
