Over the last few years my family and I have binged all of Star Trek, then moved on to Star Trek adjacent shows like The Orville and Stargate. At the moment we're not really watching anything sci-fi. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for similar shows (or maybe some books) that fill the void left by Star Trek. In particular I really like the episodes that deal with interacting with other civilizations, diplomacy, and exploration more-so than say, an anomaly episode.

There's so much modern Trek at this point I don't even know if that's necessary.

Anyway, I'd say I see a ton of overlap between liking Trek and liking The Expanse, although it's more political and less "alien of the week diplomacy". Still, it goes places, give it a look.

I liked the "Lost in Space" series, tbh... Exploring is key lost in space on alien planets.

What about star Trek books? There's hundreds of them.

Stargate is most world exploration. The Expanse. Sliders.
