Super duper seeking out right now. Like chill bumps geeki g out.....


The newly released trailer for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has officially confirmed that the series will premiere in early 2026, aligning with the franchise’s 60th anniversary. Set in the 32nd century, the story follows a historic moment for Starfleet as the first class of cadets is welcomed back to Earth after more than a century. The academy is based in San Francisco and aboard the USS Athena, where new generations will be trained for the future of the Federation. Holly Hunter stars as Chancellor Nahla Ake, a half-Lanthanite leader, while Paul Giamatti portrays the mysterious antagonist, Nus Braka. The show introduces a fresh lineup of cadets from various species, including Caleb Mir, Jay-Den Kraag, Sam (Series Acclimation Mil), Darem Reymi, Genesis Lythe, and Tarima Sadal. Several familiar characters return in guiding roles, such as Jett Reno, The Doctor, Admiral Vance, and Sylvia Tilly, bringing legacy connections into the new storyline. The trailer is packed with nostalgic callbacks, including visuals of the James T. Kirk Pavilion, a Federation “Wall of Legends,” and nods to classic captains like Benjamin Sisko. This mix of new beginnings and old favorites promises a vibrant continuation of the Star Trek legacy.

Discovery also jumped 1000 years into the future to get around some inconsistencies. I thought it was pretty lumpy though.

I've not gotten into all the offshoot. Too many at one imo. And honestly until the age of the internet in it ubiquitous form, I was always about 5 years behind knowing about a new series. Didnt discover tng until about 97

then you guys need to get up to Ticonderoga, NY.

I don't consider myself a trekkie......I did buy a tribble though. 😂
Absolutely a great thing! I have many friends that make it to Ti every year and love it. It's just across from VT on Lake Champlain!

I sure hope they decide to return to free broadcast television with this, just like all of the foundation the whole ST universe was built upon. Otherwise, that will be yet another series that scads of die hard fans won't see.

I signed up for CBS + for a free month when Picard hit season 3, probably going to buy all four here soon.

Won't mind if the Orville would come back.

I waited until Picard was over as well as Orville and signed up for 1 month (no commercials) and watched all of them, wasn't hard
