10 Best Sci-Fi TV Shows Returning This Year
7. Star Trek: Discovery
It's hard to believe that 55 years after the original Star Trek series debuted, the franchise is still producing new content on a weekly basis. Yup, it may deal with time travel, but the Star Trek concept is pretty timeless to say the least.
Now, obviously the saga's bigger story was the debut of spin-off series Picard (which featured the highly-anticipated return of Patrick Stewart's legendary Jean-Luc Picard), but that's not the only property we're getting from the esteemed franchise this year as prequel/sequel Star Trek: Discovery will also return to our screens for its third season.
The show has been well-received but there were a number of kinks it needed to work out early on. In the end, however, thanks to some time - and Sonequa Martin-Green's exceptional leading performance - it managed to do just that, and Season 3 is now imminent.
