Hopefully it doesn't fall through, but my phasers are set for HYPE

Interesting...

Good stuff, been watching some old skool TNG and now DS9 on CBS Action and think they've gotten better with age. Need some decent sci-fi on TV too.

Looks like more info has appeared in the original article since I posted.

Hopefully it isn't in the Abrams movie version of the universe.

Doubt it could be anything other now.
They reset the clock, they can do what they like now.

What time period is it going to be set in? As it's subscription only, I wonder if there's still a lack of faith in any new Trek TV series.

The new television series is not related to the upcoming feature film Star Trek Beyond which is scheduled to be distributed by Paramount Pictures in summer 2016.

Yes but I believe there is some issue with rights, e.g. CBS own the TV series and Paramount own the Movies so whether they would want to set it in the universe created by another company or not?

Probably a Star Fleet Academy Drama thing. One Tree Hill in 2200....

from the article on startrek.com

The brand-new Star Trek will introduce new characters seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966.

thankfully it doesn't sound like an Academy series.

I dunno. There was a long time idea (I think for an animated series) set 200 years after TNG where the Federation was much diminished and fighting enemies on all sides. The crew were all going to be young, but I don't think it ever came to anything.

Please be good!

Destination · 2 Nov 2015 at 20:00

Hope it has at least some recurrent and arcing threads like DS9 managed.
Still the best series by far, the first several TNG seasons are tough to watch now, bar the big episodes.

It was only yesterday I was searching for info on a new series and came up dry, I have really crappy future vision. Stuff like this happens all the time!

So long as there is a hot chick in a skin tight suit, I don't care. Mmmmmm T'Pol.

something daft already!! · 2 Nov 2015 at 20:47

It has to be better than that school play affair they called Renegades. Full of tired old clichés and tired old has been and never will be actors and actresses. I have a little hope for this.

ThundyCat · 2 Nov 2015 at 20:53

Does it not need 'Paramount' blessing?

SkeeterUK · 2 Nov 2015 at 21:12

Hope its of the quality of visuals and writing as past tv shows. would be nice to be set say 10 years after voyager got back, that or tng era.

Hope they dont change it dramaitically like totally new uniforms and standards.

I wonder if it will be set on an enterprise ship or some other reg ship.

Please dont have anything like the new films cos id hate that too be in a tv series. What they should do is have that idea of riker in his own ship.
