About Ben 10
Ben 10 follows Ben Tennyson, a 10-year-old who finds the Omnitrix and gains the power to turn into alien heroes. Four series released from 2005 to 2014 trace his growth to age 16, while the 2016 reboot retells his story in a separate continuity with a new art style.
Watch the original continuity in release order first, then the reboot on its own. The TV films slot between the series, and the two live action films work as optional side stories.
Good to know
Season counts: Ben 10 (2005) ran 4 seasons, Alien Force 3, Ultimate Alien 3, Omniverse 8 ten-episode arcs, and the 2016 reboot 4 seasons plus 3 specials often listed as season 5. Secret of the Omnitrix exists in three slightly different cuts. Race Against Time (2007) and Alien Swarm (2009) are live action and fit loosely at best. The Generator Rex crossover Heroes United is an optional extra. No new Ben 10 series has been announced since the 2021 specials.
