After months of speculation, rumors, and general clamoring for more stories featuring the Star Trek: Discovery-era crew of the USS Enterprise, today CBS All Access made the news official: Captain Pike and company are returning in their own dedicated spin-off.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is the next live-action series coming to the streaming service, centered on the USS Enterprise, with Discovery favorites Anson Mount (Captain Pike), Ethan Peck (Spock), and Rebecca Romijn (Number One) returning for more Starfleet adventures.
The trio were last scene in the late-2019 run of Star Trek: Short Treks, where we saw Captain Pike lead a young Starfleet cadet through a critical training program (“Ask Not”) and experienced Ensign Spock’s first day aboard the Enterprise (“Q & A”).
While the USS Discovery may have rocketed off to the far future, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will continue to follow Captain Pike and company in the decade before Captain Kirk embarked on the Original Series’ five-year mission.
The series premiere was written by Akiva Goldsman (with the story by Akiva Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet). Goldsman, Kurtzman and Lumet will serve as executive producers in addition to Henry Alonso Myers, Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth. Aaron Baiers, Akela Cooper and Davy Perez will serve as co-executive producers. Akiva Goldsman will remain an executive producer and a key part of the creative team on STAR TREK: PICARD as well. The series will be produced by CBS Television Studios, Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment.
