Strange New Worlds Is Star Trek's Highest Rated Show Or Movie Ever On RT
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is now the highest-rated film or television series in the long-running science-fiction franchise's history according to the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. Announced in 2020 as a spinoff of Star Trek: Discovery, the new show centers on Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and the crew of the USS Enterprise five years prior to Star Trek: The Original Series where James T. Kirk would helm the famed star ship. Strange New Worlds is the sixth new series following writer-producer Alex Kurtzman's rebranding of the Star Trek franchise, which began in 2017 with the debut of Star Trek: Discovery.
Strange New Worlds is the latest television series in Star Trek's storied franchise history. Originally created in 1965 by Gene Roddenberry, The Original Series spawned eight live-action television shows, three animated television shows, thirteen films, and a litany of other media such as books and video games. The projects tell a continuing story that all exist within the same universe, including the J.J. Abrams-produced films which spawned a separate timeline based on the destruction of the USS Kelvin and the death of Kirk's father. The franchise has seen its ups-and-downs, but with Strange New Worlds scoring the highest Rotten Tomatoes rating yet, Star Trek fans may be in for one of the best Star Trek entries since The Next Generation.
