Star Trek: The Next Generation was the third Star Trek television series to be created, after Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Animated Series.

The show premiered the week of 28 September 1987 and came to a conclusion the week of 23 May 1994. There were 178 episodes produced over seven seasons, making it the longest running Star Trek series to date, and the adventures continued onto the big screen in four motion pictures. There are numerous novels, comics, and games set within and after the series.

Overview[]

TNG chronicled the voyages of the starship Enterprise-D, under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard on its continuing mission of exploration through the Alpha and Beta Quadrants in the 2360s decade. In that period the Enterprise often found herself in the middle of situations with old enemies (some now friends) such as the Klingons and the Romulans and with new threats including the omnipotent Q, the Ferengi, and a threat that would change Star Trek forever, the Borg.

In 2007, The Next Generation celebrated its 20th Anniversary.

Episodes and movies[]

During its seven-year run, 178 episodes were produced, usually 26 per season (the second season had 22 episodes). After the series ended, four films were created between 1994 and 2002.

The first film, Star Trek Generations was a bridge between The Original Series and The Next Generation. An animated series crossover series was planned in the early 1990s, but canceled in pre-production.

The television series Deep Space Nine and Voyager were spin-offs of the TNG era, and many concepts were carried over into the prequel series Enterprise.

Prose[]

From the very beginning, TNG has had a series of novels within its setting. Pocket Books produced sixty-three number paperbacks, fourteen young adult novels, several hardbacks, unnumbered paperbacks, novelizations, eBooks, as well as a popular so-called "relaunch series" set after Star Trek Nemesis.

Every multi-series anthology has featured at least one short story with a Next Generation setting. The novel series Titan, Stargazer, and to a lesser extent Klingon Empire and New Frontier were direct spin-offs of TNG, with many characters crossing over.

The establishment of TNG elements was the central element of the Star Trek: The Lost Era mini-series.

When Last Unicorn Games took on the RPG license, they released fifteen manuals within their Next Generation roleplaying game.

The most recent company to publish Star Trek RPGs, Decipher released no exclusively TNG books, instead publishing a series of supplements incorporating elements from the entire Star Trek franchise.
