Tag: 60th anniversary

Tonight, at the Broadcasting+Cable Hall of Fame gala in New York, Star Trek receives the very first Franchise of the Year Award — a category invented, as far as anyone can tell, specifically because there was no existing box built to hold sixty years of one franchise's influence on the medium itself.

Season 37 of Star Trek Online, subtitled Rediscovered, went live on PC September 22 with a remastered classic mission that puts Ethan Peck, archival Leonard Nimoy audio, and Piotr Michael in the same story as three versions of Spock from three different decades of his life. It's a strange, moving way to mark the franchise's 60th year.

On Star Trek Day, London's Science Museum gathered 934 fans to hold the Vulcan salute for a full minute and set a new Guinness World Record. It's a small, strange, perfect way to mark sixty years of a franchise that was never really about starships.

September 8, 1966 to September 8, 2026 — sixty years, arriving tomorrow — and the franchise is marking it with a detail almost too poetic to be planned: the Autry Museum in Los Angeles is screening the very first episode back-to-back with this season's Strange New Worlds, on the same screen, the same night. That's the whole thesis of this column in one double feature.

Star Trek Day lands on its actual 60th anniversary this year, and Paramount isn't treating it like a marketing bullet point — four restored films back in theaters, TOS episodes on the big screen for the first time ever, a Guinness World Record attempt for the Vulcan salute, and a new season for the franchise's youngest audience yet. Here's the full week, laid out.

In a new 60th-anniversary interview, Kate Mulgrew reflects on what it actually cost and meant to become Star Trek's first female captain — and on the young women in STEM who tell her, decades later, that Janeway is the reason they're in the room. It's worth sitting with what that first season really required of her.

A new theatrical documentary, "The Sixty-Year Mission: How Star Trek Changed Television and The World," lands in Regal Cinemas October 9 with Shatner, Koenig, Takei, Frakes, Spiner, and more spanning six decades of the franchise. For once, a Trek anniversary project isn't about a new show — it's about the ones who built the ship.

As we approach the 60th anniversary of the first voyage of the original Enterprise, Star Trek takes over San Diego Comic-Con to celebrate where we've been and where we're going. From Hall H spectacles to the imminent return of Strange New Worlds, the franchise proves that its vision of the future is more relevant than ever.

From digital card games to anniversary comics, Star Trek is expanding its reach. T'Nara Vex analyzes how the Federation is evolving beyond the screen to keep its humanist philosophy alive.

In a stunning tribute to the 60th anniversary of Star Trek, LEGO has unveiled a massive U.S.S. Enterprise-D set. More than just a collector's item, this miniature Galaxy-class marvel invites us to reflect on the collaborative spirit that defined the TNG era.

There were whispers that Starfleet Academy had been scrubbed from the manifest. The truth? The first season has concluded, and the results are far more interesting than a cancellation notice.

April 5th. The date Zefram Cochrane broke the warp barrier and changed humanity forever. On the 60th anniversary of the franchise that imagined it all, T'Nara Vex checks in on the state of Star Trek — from comics to streaming charts to a puppet episode nobody saw coming.
