A Fan-Favorite Star Trek Series Is Climbing The Streaming Charts For A Very Specific Reason

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is climbing Prime Video's streaming charts ahead of season 3's premiere on Paramount+. Set years before Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is a prequel about the USS Enterprise commanded by Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), who leads a crew of new characters and Star Trek legacy heroes like a younger Lieutenant Spock (Ethan Peck).

Flix Patrol and JustWatch report that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has entered the Top 10 TV shows on Prime Video for the week of July 8, 2025. Interest in Strange New Worlds is rising with the imminent premiere of season 3 on Paramount+ on July 17. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds leaves Prime Video at the end of July, and audiences with Amazon subscriptions are binge-watching season 1.

Why Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Is Rising In Prime Video's TV Charts

There Are Other Ways To See Strange New Worlds Season 1 As Well

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is the most mainstream Star Trek on Paramount+ series, with its recognizable characters set aboard the iconic USS Enterprise. While only Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1 is available for free to Prime Video subscribers, with season 2 still behind a paywall, it's a welcome avenue to watch arguably the most popular Star Trek series of the modern era.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1 is also available to watch for free on Paramount+'s YouTube channel for a limited time, but seeing Strange New Worlds available on Prime Video is great news. Star Trek needs to be seen beyond Paramount+'s subscriber base, and Strange New Worlds is the ideal show that pleases long-time Trekkers while also cultivating a new fanbase for Star Trek.

Our Take On Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Rising In Prime Video's TV Charts

Star Trek Needs Wider Distribution

It's heartening to see Star Trek: Strange New Worlds become a Top 10 show on Prime Video. Star Trek is a 60-year-old I.P. with a global fanbase, and it's a crown jewel property for Paramount. However, the new Star Trek series, like Strange New Worlds, only being available on Paramount+ in the United States limits the franchise's ability to grow and become exposed to new audiences.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has the most mainstream appeal of Paramount+'s new Star Trek series, and it is guaranteed to run for five seasons. From comedy, to action, to pure sci-fi, and even Star Trek's first-ever musical episode, there's something to appeal to everyone in Strange New Worlds. The more people who become fans of Strange New Worlds, the healthier not just the series, but the Star Trek franchise, will become.
