19 years after its cancelation, Star Trek: Enterprise has become an influential Star Trek series that now serves as the canonical springboard for all of Star Trek that follows. A prequel set in the 22nd century, Enterprise was the fifth Star Trek TV series and the last of the era of Star Trek produced by Rick Berman that launched with Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1987. Enterprise was the only show of the TNG era to last 4 seasons and its cancelation in 2005 marked the end of Star Trek on TV for 12 years. However, the prequel co-created by Berman and Brannon Braga has since earned new admirers in the last two decades and the Star Trek franchise has recontextualized Enterprise's greater importance.
