Star Trek: The Next Generation (Seasons 1–7)

Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987–1994) is a landmark sci-fi series you can watch online on iFILM — 178 episodes across seven seasons, broadcast on CBS, with Patrick Stewart commanding as Captain Jean-Luc Picard aboard the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D.

Where the original series chased action, this crew chased ideas. First Officer William Riker (Jonathan Frakes), android Data (Brent Spiner), engineer Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), and ship's counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) encounter civilizations that raise questions about consciousness, justice, free will, and what it actually means to be human. The episodes range from tense single-story hours to sprawling two-parters — "The Best of Both Worlds" introduced the Borg as one of TV's great cliffhangers, while "The Measure of a Man" put Data's legal personhood on trial in a courtroom drama that holds up decades later.

The series wrapped in 1994, then spun off four theatrical films and a direct sequel series with Stewart reprising the role in 2020. Stream every season of Star Trek: The Next Generation online on iFILM.
