Entertainment Tonight for Monday, September 7, 2026

The STAR TREK franchise is celebrating 60 years of living long and prospering, and only ET can take you back to the beginning, where no TV series had gone before. From a rejected first pilot to a history-making kiss that NICHELLE NICHOLS remembers filming dozens of times, ET has been there for every legendary twist along the way that helped a new generation take command. ET also takes you through the iconic captains, from WILLIAM SHATNER, who remembers nearly losing a set to a massive fire, to PATRICK STEWART's 17-time Emmy-winning NEXT GENERATION run. Plus, the biggest names in Hollywood reveal their secret Trekkie pasts, from TOM HANKS to ANGELINA JOLIE to CHRIS HEMSWORTH. ET boldly takes you through six decades of our vault of STAR TREK behind the scenes and beyond.
