Star Trek may appear as if it has peaked, but I believe more patience than what has been required in the last few years could reveal a brighter future. Star Trek Day 2024 marks 58 years since Star Trek: The Original Series premiered. No one could have guessed Star Trek would still be going strong in 2024, with 13 movies, a dozen TV series, and more still on the way. Yet there seems to be a dark cloud hanging over Star Trek‘s future as the franchise downsizes through what looks to be an uncertain time.
