CBS All Access is bringing back some fan-favorite characters for a another brand new Star Trek series.
The streamer has given a series order to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds starring Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Number One and Ethan Peck as Science Officer Spock. The series will follow Pike, Spock, and Number One in the decade before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.
The trio of characters were first introduced into revamped CBS Star Trek universe in Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery. All three received praise for their performances, with fans quickly clamoring for a spinoff. They were also featured in the first episode of Season 2 of Star Trek: Short Treks.

The series premiere was written by Akiva Goldsman with the story by Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet. Goldsman, Kurtzman and Lumet will serve as executive producers along with Henry Alonso Myers, Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth. Aaron Baiers, Akela Cooper and Davy Perez will serve as co-executive producers. The series will be produced by CBS Television Studios, Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment.

CBS has bet big on Star Trek in recent years. Including Strange New Worlds, there are now five shows in the shared universe on All Access: Star Trek: Discovery (Season 3 debuting later this year), Star Trek: Picard (Season 1 aired this year, already renewed for Season 2), Star Trek: Short Treks, and the adult animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks (debuting later this year). Nickelodeon is also prepping an animated Star Trek kids series. All Access announced last year that it was developing a series centered on Michelle Yeohs character from Discovery.

It was announced in 2018 that Kurtzman had signed a five-year deal with CBS TV Studios to supervise the expansion of the Star Trek television universe. Last year, CBS announced it was launching a Star Trek global franchise group to manage new projects like podcasts, new digital spaces, and live experiential events.

I didn't know that douchenozzle Kurtzman was contractually signed on to be shitty; thought he was just getting hired alot >____>

Let me know if M'ress get worked in somehow.

Any time I see Alex Kurtzman and Akiva Goldsman in a show or movie's writers, I know I can write it off immediately.

Watched season 1 of discovery. It was cool doing a Mudd call back but the show just wasn't StarTrek anymore. It just felt like a continuous movie, filled with drama. And using a story from one of the episodes of the original series for a whole season was also very weak on the writers parts.

They should just end it, or go back to a by episode story. And stop using the Kirk/Picard timeline. Make a new one up that's real good. My guess is they probably can't since they sort of talent just doesn't seem to exist anymore. Which wasn't a lifetime ago.

However I did enjoy the first episode of Picard. I'll definitely give that a look.

They just keep wanting to piss all over ST. Fuck Kurtzman and the rest of them.

And ST fans thought Berman and Braga were bad...ok they were, but still.

I'm no good at making gifs, so just mentally put CBS All Access on the family and Star Trek on the caterpillar.
