Since the original series first aired in 1966, the Star Trek universe has expanded into a vast and beloved franchise. With numerous TV series and movies, keeping track of Where To Watch Star Trek can feel like navigating uncharted space. If you’re looking to boldly go where no one has gone before from the comfort of your own couch, this streaming guide is for you.
Star Trek is currently experiencing a renaissance, with Paramount Plus leading the charge as the official home for all things Trek.

But it’s not just about the new shows; Paramount+ also boasts a comprehensive library of classic Star Trek movies and TV series.
In the past, finding Star Trek content across various streaming platforms was a scattered and often frustrating experience – akin to searching for a Romulan cloaking device. Today, Paramount Plus has streamlined the process, offering a centralized hub for almost all Star Trek content. While some older content might occasionally pop up on other services, Paramount+ remains the definitive destination for Trekkies.
This guide will break down where you can stream Star Trek movies and TV shows, primarily focusing on the US and UK regions, ensuring you don’t miss a single warp jump or phaser blast.
