The Star Trek universe panel at New York Comic Con (NYCC) this weekend concluded with a brand new trailer for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The ten-episode series will follow the exploits of the first new crop of cadets in a century.
Per the official premise:
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy introduces viewers to a young group of cadets who come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism. Under the watchful and demanding eyes of their instructors, they discover what it takes to become Starfleet officers as they navigate blossoming friendships, explosive rivalries, first loves and a new enemy that threatens both the Academy and the Federation itself.
The new cadets include Sandro Rosta as human orphan Caleb Mir; Karim Diané as a Klingon cadet, Jay-Den Kraag; Kerrice Brooks as Sam (Series Acclimation Mil), the first Kasquain to attend the Academy; George Hawkins as Darem Reymi, a Khionian cadet who wants to be a captain; Bella Shepard as Genesis Lythe, a Dar-Sha cadet; and Zoë Steiner as Tarima Sadal, daughter of the president of Betazed. In addition, Holly Hunter plays Academy chancellor Captain Nahla Ake; Gina Yashere plays Cadet Master Lura Thok; Becky Lynch plays a member of Starfleet bridge crew; and Paul Giamatti plays a half-Klingon, half-Tellarite character named Nus Braka, the series’ chief villain.
Exciting news from NYCC! The new Starfleet Academy trailer sounds like a great addition to the Star Trek universe. Can’t wait to see what adventures await!
Absolutely! The Starfleet Academy trailer really seems to capture the spirit of exploration and camaraderie that’s central to the Star Trek universe. It’ll be interesting to see how they develop the characters and their journeys in this new setting.
