Rumors of the Star Trek show set at the United Federation Academy have been floating online for years, though only now the series - which is officially titled "Starflit Academy" - finally becoming a reality. The first time we hear about the play returned in 2018, when the current figure of the franchise Alex Kurzman signed a full development agreement Several performances "Star Trek", including "Discovery". Our next update occurred three years later, after the "Paramount+ Streaming" service arrived and provided a natural path for all things "paths", especially Series younger-popping up on Starflit's cadets. Now, the show is preparing until the premiere of the beginning of 2026 ... But, as it turns out, there was a very good reason for its long, liquidation from start to finish.

In a new profile with Fun weeklyKurzman and his colleague "Starflit" shower, Land Landau, opened up to some of the biggest obstacles they faced when making this series through the finish line. Planet, shining facilities, if you are stuck in school with children with a fresh face that learn the ropes.

"It's hard to get to the circumstances and ransom where you can still have adventures with" Star Trek "with real deposits and real danger, but it is also a school. It is really important for viewers to know that these kids actually go to real" Star Trek "missions, and there is a real" Star Trek "," Peril "and complex situations."

Fortunately, the creative team of the show has found a smart slowdown on this: turn the school into Hipwell.

We have seen some shows "Star Trek" set on arsevoles before, and we have seen that others are greatly in one location (such as "Deep Space Nine"), but we have never seen an attempt to enjoy the best of the two worlds as "Starflite" Academy. One of the major discoveries from this year's "Star Trek" panel in Newoujork Comic BookThe idea of ​​a mobile academy building immediately separates this series from all the others. However, far from an ordinary trick, this turns out to be the most exciting way to take the first class of cadets for more than 100 years (if you remember, Discovery's futuristic events determine that Starfleet has largely become a sheath of itself) and essentially study at work. Co-shower Alex Kurzman described this on EW as:

"We really compared him to a class hospital. You can only learn by throwing yourself into the fire."

The series feels like a mashup of several different epochs of Trek - you have the "Discovery" time frame, Notable link to "Deep Space Nine" and Benjamin Ciskoand even the remains of Voyager through the return of Robert Picardo's holographic doctor. Through this, we will become invested in the adventures of a young group of cadets (led by Sandro Rosta as Kaleb Peace), their Chancellor/Captain Nakhla Ake (Holly Hunter), and the tricky semi-clinon, the semi-telephone villain Nus Baca. But a lump buried in the EW article is that the series, which is already in the middle of Season 2, could earn a third season if viewers prove to be thrilled.
