It is the second live-action series of the Star Trek franchise and comprises a total of 178 episodes over 7 seasons. The series picks up about 95 years after the original series is said to have taken place.

McFadden left the show after the first season and was replaced for the second season with Diana Muldaur as Dr. Katherine Pulaski, but returned for the third season and remained with the cast thereafter. Wil Wheaton starred as Wesley Crusher in seasons 1–4, returning for guest appearances in seasons 5 and 7. Denise Crosby played chief security officer Tasha Yar in the first season but her character was killed in the episode "Skin of Evil".
The Next Generation cast also appears in four feature films: Generations, First Contact, Insurrection, and Nemesis.
