CBS <\/a> All Access isn’t done launching new Star Trek shows.<\/p>\n After bringing the franchise back to TV with “Star Trek: Discovery”<\/a> in 2017, then revisiting some beloved characters with “Star Trek: Picard”<\/a> earlier this year, the streaming service has placed a straight-to-series order for “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” which will depict the early days of the Enterprise, before Captain Kirk took command.<\/p>\n We already got a glimpse of that in the second season of “Discovery,”<\/a> which saw Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and a young Spock (Ethan Peck) join the cast — but they left Discovery <\/a> and returned to the Enterprise at the season’s end, in what felt like an obvious set-up for a spin-off.<\/p>\n “Strange New Worlds” will star Mount and Peck, along with “Discovery” guest star Rebecca Romijn as Number One. The premiere will be written by Akiva Goldsman (also a writer and director on “Discovery” and “Picard”), with a story by Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet.<\/p>\n “This is a dream come true, literally,” Goldsman said in a statement. “I have imagined myself on the bridge of the Enterprise since the early 1970s. I’m honored to be a part of this continuing journey along with Alex, [executive producer] Henry [Alonso Myers] and the fine folks at CBS.”<\/p>\n Until now, CBS All Access has been distinguished primarily for its willingness to greenlight a range of Star Trek spin-offs — it’s also developing an animated series called “Star Trek: Lower Decks”,<\/a> along with a show focused on Michelle Yeoh’s Philippa Georgiou and the nefarious Section 31.<\/p>\n This summer, the newly re-merged ViacomCBS plans to launch a rebranded version of the streaming service<\/a>, drawing on content from across ViacomCBS brands like Nickelodeon, MTV, BET, Comedy Central, Smithsonian and Paramount. But it still looks like Star Trek will remain a big part of that mix.<\/p>\n There’s no release date announced for “Strange New Worlds.” After all, it may be a while before any show can resume production.<\/p>\n https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2020\/04\/01\/original-content-star-trek-picard\/<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> Anthony Ha<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CBS All Access isn’t done launching new Star Trek shows.
