More things like Star Trek? (self.sciencefiction)

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.

... (or maybe some books)...
.

Then how about the Bobiverse series? That should fit the bill perfectly. Even has a Riker! I'm a big fan of the audio books.

And definitely Project Hail Mary as a one off.

And maybe Expeditionary Force. That one is a bit much militaristic for my taste but I got to love the audio books anyways.

Expeditionary Force is great fun, but it's also a huge commitment. There's 16 books so far plus spin-offs (that are required reading) and even an Amazon-exclusive radio play.
