Star Trek: The Next Generation is an American science fiction television series that premiered in 1987 as a continuation of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek franchise, set roughly a century after the original 1960s series aboard a new starship Enterprise commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard, played by Patrick Stewart. Produced for first-run syndication rather than a traditional network, it ran seven seasons and became a major commercial and critical success, revitalizing a franchise that had been dormant as an ongoing series for two decades. Its success led directly to further Star Trek spinoff series and a run of feature films built around its own cast.
