CBS Studios and Paramount+ have formally announced Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, a new Star Trek series that will follow a new class of Starfleet cadets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Production on the show is set to begin in 2024. In celebration of the series order, co-showrunners and executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau released the following statement that gives a little bit of insight into what Starfleet Academy is all about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAdmission is now open to Starfleet Academy! Explore the galaxy! Captain your destiny! For the first time in over a century, our campus will be re-opened to admit individuals a minimum of 16 Earth years (or species equivalent) who dream of exceeding their physical, mental and spiritual limits, who value friendship, camaraderie, honor and devotion to a cause greater than themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The coursework will be rigorous, the instructors among the brightest lights in their respective fields, and those accepted will live and study side-by-side with the most diverse population of students ever admitted. Today we encourage all who share our dreams, goals and values to join a new generation of visionary cadets as they take their first steps toward creating a bright future for us all. Apply today! Ex Astris, Scientia!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alongside Kurtzman and Landau, Absentia co-creator Gaia Violo, Aaron Baiers, Jenny Lumet, Rod Roddenberry, Trevor Roth, Frank Siracusa and John Weber will serve as executive producers on the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starfleet Academy’s existence was reported last month<\/a>, where we learned that Violo was involved with the series, and that Starfleet Academy would likely follow the upcoming Star Trek: Section 31 spinoff<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paramount+ has an expansive lineup of original Star Trek series, including Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Prodigy, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paramount has been making a lot of announcements surrounding its Star Trek series as of late, as we recently learned that\u00a0Star Trek: Discovery will end with Season 5<\/a>, while\u00a0Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks have both been renewed<\/a>.
