We have recognized Star Trek: Starfleet Academy , however we lastly have some actual footage. Paramount , along with an official announcement that the present will premiere in “early 2026.”

For the uninitiated, the present is about on the titular Starfleet Academy in future San Francisco and follows a gaggle of cadets and their instructors. The trailer introduces us to all the main characters, kind of, all whereas chancellor Holly Hunter does her finest area Dumbledore and delivers a rousing speech.

Eagle-eyed followers, nevertheless, will discover an abundance of Easter eggs on this footage. Starfleet Academy is the place practically each main Star Trek character in franchise historical past went to high school, and so they’ve all left their footprints right here. There are shoutouts to James Kirk, Wesley Crusher, Tom Paris and, most curiously, a category that examines the last word destiny of Deep Area 9 head honcho Benjamin Sisko.

The trailer additionally re-introduces two fan-favorite characters from earlier installments. Robert Picardo returns because the holographic physician from Star Trek: Voyager and the one-and-only Tig Notaro returns as snark-mouthed engineer Jett Reno from Star Trek: Discovery. Holograms do not age, however folks do, so I ponder what sort of sci-fi gobbleygook they’re going to give you as to why Picardo now seems older.

Talking of the passage of time, there’s the Discovery-sized elephant within the room. Starfleet Academy is about within the thirty second century, after the crew of the Discovery by chance ended up there on the finish of season two. That is 800 years after the 90s exhibits like The Subsequent Era and 900 years after the unique collection. So this implies any and all connections between planets and species are prone to be radically completely different, as eight centuries is a very, actually very long time. Simply take into consideration how completely different the yr 1225 was from at this time.

The present premieres in six or seven months . Star Trek: Starfleet Academy stars the aforementioned Holly Hunter, Sandro Rosta, Karim Diané, Kerrice Brooks and Paul Giamatti because the half-Klingon antagonist.
