The world of Star Trek is about to expand with the thrilling new series, Starfleet Academy, and the trailer has just dropped, giving us a glimpse into this exciting adventure! But here's the catch: it's not your typical Star Trek story.
The trailer reveals a powerful ensemble cast, featuring Holly Hunter as the commanding Nahla Ake, chancellor of Starfleet Academy, and Paul Giamatti as the intriguing part-Klingon villain, Nus Braka. The series also brings back beloved characters from the Star Trek universe, such as Robert Picardo (The Doctor), Tig Notaro (Jett Reno), and Oded Fehr (Charles Vance). And that's not all—get ready for some unexpected guest appearances, including WWE Superstar Becky Lynch and Stephen Colbert, lending his voice to the show.
But here's where it gets controversial: Starfleet Academy has already been renewed for a second season, even before its debut! The series will introduce viewers to a fresh group of cadets, who, amidst friendships, rivalries, and first loves, must confront a dangerous new enemy. This enemy threatens the very foundation of the Academy and the Federation. With 10 episodes set to release weekly, the first season promises an immersive journey.
The show's website offers a unique experience, mirroring the Academy's own site, and sets the tone with a compelling mission statement. It reads, 'Starfleet Academy carries on a legacy that began in San Francisco over a thousand years ago... Our cadets will dream without boundaries, embracing the duty of rebuilding Starfleet.'
