After Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry Created This Lesser-Known Sci-Fi Series

Gene Roddenberry helped create one of the modern pillars of science fiction with Star Trek. Roddenberry's vision of a future where mankind overcame its petty differences and explored the stars proved to be the inspiration for a wellspring of science fiction shows — not to mention the fact that the Star Trek franchise is currently thriving on television, with Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds enjoying multi-season runs, the animated Star Trek: Prodigy releasing its second season later this year, and Star Trek: Star Fleet Academy, the newest sequel, revealing its filming window and episode count. But despite Trek's major pedigree, the original series ended up being canceled after three seasons, and Roddenberry's follow-up series, Earth: Final Conflict, wasn't produced until after his death.
