Brent Spiner says "there is always hope" that Star Trek: Picard season 3's proposed continuation, Star Trek: Legacy, will happen. Spiner reprised his iconic character, Data, in Star Trek: Picard season 3, where his android hero evolved into a human-like synthetic who can age and comes complete with emotions. After being killed off in Star Trek: Nemesis in 2002, Spiner's full-fledged comeback as Data was one of the highlights of Picard season 3'sStar Trek: The Next Generation cast reunion.

Appearing as a guest on The Sackhoff Show, Brent Spiner was asked by host Katee Sackoff about whether there are any plans for him to play Data again. Spiner explained how Star Trek: Picard season 3 showrunner Terry Matalas tried to launch a spinoff centering on Jeri Ryan as Captain Seven of Nine, which was dubbed Star Trek: Legacy. Although Paramount+ didn't greenlight it, Brent thinks "it could still happen" at some point.

WWE star Becky Lynch is all set to make her Star Trek debut with the upcoming live-action show Starfleet Academy. The series will reportedly be set in the 32nd Century and will see new recruits who are the first batch of cadets in a century. The show also features Holly Hunter, Tig Notaro, and Robert Picardo, who returns as the Doctor.

Lynch explored her acting career after taking a hiatus from WWE the previous year. Though she is back on the ring now, she might have to leave again as the second season of the series begins filming (it is said to be in development). The wrestler mentioned that she was part of the bridge crew, which means that she has an important role.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy actors Kerrice Brooks and Bella Shepard discuss the vibe of the next Star Trek series in production for Paramount+. Shepard and Brooks are part of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy's young cast, with the series headlined by Academy Award winner Holly Hunter. Meanwhile, Academy Award nominee Paul Giamatti plays the mysterious villain in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy season 1, which has wrapped filming and is expected to premiere on Paramount+ in 2026.

TrekMovie chatted with Kerrice Brooks and Bella Shepard about Star Trek: Starfleet Academy on the red carpet of Universal Studios Fan Fest in April, where the young actors promoted Universal's Star Trek: Red Alert experience.

In his Black Mirror debut, Emmy-winning actor Paul Giamatti stars as a lonely man who confronts a past love by literally stepping into old photographs to recall his late girlfriend’s face.

The Season 7 episode “Eulogy” calls on Giamatti to convey a wide range of emotions — often all at once — whether that’s anger, hurt, or self-loathing. How does an award-winning actor prepare for that?

“I'm filled with defensiveness, anger and hurt,” Giamatti joked to Gold Derby on the red carpet of the show’s FYC event at the Television Academy’s Saban Media Center in North Hollywood, Calif. “It's weirdly enjoyable in some really sick way for actors to do that.”

While he said he “worried” most about the ending and the final scene “landing naturally,” The Holdovers actor also credited the episode’s writers, Ella Road and creator Charlie Brooker.

“It’s in the script when someone tells me what to do,...

Kevin Feige successfully made Dave Bautista into a star when he was cast as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, but his attempt at introducing another WWE star to the MCU backfired. Becky Lynch was supposed to play a role in Eternals and had even filmed a scene, but her part was eventually cut from the movie.

However, she is not a stranger to franchise glory, as she is currently cast as a Bridge Officer in the upcoming Paramount+ show Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The star, who recently returned to the ring at WrestleMania 41, revealed how excited she was to work on the project.

WWE superstar Becky Lynch is branching out into acting, and is set to star on the upcoming Star Trek: Starfleet Academy series. But before she boldly goes where no The Man has gone before, she talked to Variety about her history with the franchise, and her favorite Star Trek star. Those who know that Lynch (real name Rebecca Quin) hails from Ireland may have been able to guess that her fave is countryman Colm Meaney, who starred as Miles O'Brien, "the most important person in Starfleet history," on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine.

Lynch, who recently returned to the squared circle at last month's WrestleMania, discussed her stint on the show, but couldn't reveal much: "I’m on the bridge crew, and filming on the bridge, it was one of the most amazing sets I’ve ever been on." And while she wasn't a hardcore Trekkie,...

Jeri Ryan is hopeful she will return as Captain Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Picardseason 3's proposed spinoff, Star Trek: Legacy. The ending of Star Trek: Picard season 3 saw Seven promoted to Captain of the USS Enterprise-g. With her new crew, Captain Seven was in a perfect setup to continue the legacy of the Starship Enterprise, but over 2 years later, Paramount+ has not acted on Star Trek fans' demands to make Star Trek: Legacy.

ScreenRant's Grant Hermanns spoke to Jeri Ryan about her role in Leverage: Redemption season 3, and asked the beloved Star Trek: Voyager actor if she has any updates to share about Star Trek: Legacy. While Ryan didn't have any news to drop, Jeri reminds fans that she never expected to reprise Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Picard, and she will "never say never" if Star Trek: Legacy happens. Check out Ryan's quote below:

Set in the 32nd century as a spin-off from Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will be a series departure from the usual Star Trek canon that follows the adventures of a Federation starship and its captain and crew rather than the faculty and young cadets of Earth’s Starfleet Academy. With Helen Hunt cast as the Academy's captain and chancellor, it will be the third time a Star Trek series is led by a female captain, following Kate Mulgrew's Captain Kathyrn Janeway of Star Trek: Voyager and Sonequa Martin-Green’s Captain Michael Burnham of Star Trek: Discovery.

Speaking with The Playlist about his appearance in Black Mirror Season 7, the subject of Starfleet Academy came up. While Giamatti wasn't able to divulge a lot of information about his new character, he did tease that he was a "bad guy," while at the same time noting that he had an amazing experience filming the new series:

Per Trek Movie, Picardo talked about reprising his role as The Doctor during Trek Talks 4, an all-day telethon that benefited the Hollywood Food Coalition.

Growing up, there was only one show my parents would let me stay up to watch with them from the 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. timeslot. That show was “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” And so began my love affair with “Star Trek.” Captain Picard, Data, Worf — all of them felt like regulars in our living room. The show didn’t just have cool ships and alien planets; it tackled big ideas and never dumbed anything down. And Patrick Stewart? He made every speech feel like it actually mattered.

Star Trekicon Brent Spiner explains his idea for a return as Data.

Speaking to ScreenRant, Spiner stated that he is "always available [for Star Trek] if the writing is good and the ideas are good." Spiner continued, "I mean, I have this one idea. I don't know if it's any good or not, but it's just a title, and the title isStar Trek: Data. I don't know. How does that sound to you? (Laughs) Yeah, I'm always up for doing more." Spiner then touched on appearing alongside his Star Trek: The Next Generation costars during the third season of Star Trek: Picard, noting, "I thought that they captured something really wonderful in the third season. Terry Matalas brought us all back, and I felt like everybody was pretty much at the top of their game. It was a wonderful achievement on Terry's part because I was dubious, myself... But it worked!

Paul Giamatti recently teased just how evil his character will be in the upcoming Paramount+ series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The series will document a new class of Starfleet cadets training to become officers.

Speaking with Collider about Starfleet Academy, Giamatti revealed that his character revels in his evil deeds. "He takes great pleasure in being the villain. He likes it. And it's very much a part of his thing that he's all, 'Oh yeah, I'm the bad guy,'" he said. Not much is known about Giamatti's role in Starfleet Academy other than he is a recurring character with a dark past connected to one of the cadets.

The first season of Starfleet Academy recently entered post-production, and a second season is already in development. Giamatti went on to talk about how the series reminds him of more classic entries in the Star Trek franchise. "To my mind, it feels very,...

Paul Giamatti will menace the students and faculty of Paramount+'s newest Star Trek series, Starfleet Academy. However, details about the series have remained top-secret so far. In a sit-down with the Oscar-nominated actor for an upcoming episode of Black Mirror Season 7, Collider's Steve Weintraub was able to coax out some tidbits about the hotly anticipated series. Of his villainous character, who is said to have a mysterious connection to a Starfleet Academy student, he said:

"He takes great pleasure in being the villain. He likes it. And it's very much a part of his thing that he's all 'Oh yeah, I'm the bad guy.'"

It's time for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to boldly go further into comedy territory.

Per Popverse, Uhura actor Celia Rose Gooding appeared at Emerald City Comic Con's Strange New Worlds panel, where they talked about the show's love of genre pastiche and what genre should be parodied in future seasons. Specifically, Gooding wanted to see Strange New Worlds tackle "Reality. Like, very Abbott Elementary, St. Denis Medical, The Office, just something like that." When the moderator asked if that meant applying The Office's signature mockumentary-style format to an episode's cinematography, they responded, "Sure."

Among Strange New World's most acclaimed episodes last season included a crossover with Star Trek:Lower Decks -- utilizing both animated sequences and casting Lower Decks' actors as their characters -- and a musical storyline where an "improbability field" causes the USS Enterprise crew to break into song and dance.

While the latter won't be returning...

Director Jonathan Frakes reveals new details about the upcoming Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.

Paramount clearly knows how special this milestone is because they’re pulling out all the stops with new TV shows and big-screen spectacles that’ll have us glued to our screens for years to come.

Star Trek fans love The Doctor, portrayed by Robert Picardo for seven seasons of Voyager, as well as in other projects, including Star Trek: The Experience and, more recently, the animated series Star Trek: Prodigy. He’s also on board as the holographic medic in the upcoming Star Trek: Starfleet Academy series. Fans will also remember that Picardo played Lewis Zimmerman, the scientist who created The Doctor -- aka the Emergency Medical Hologram -- in three episodes of Voyager and the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine hour “Doctor Bashir, I Presume.”

Somewhat lost to the passage of time is the fact that The Doctor was originally going to be called Doc Zimmerman. Memory Alpha points out that that the character was referred to as Doc Zimmerman “in the pre-production of Voyager and the scripts which were written for Voyager Season 1.” Further, the site mentions that both a British advertisement and...

Apple TV+ is adding to its comedy roster with a series starring Tatiana Maslany.

The Emmy winner will topline a comedic thriller titled Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed. The show comes from creator David J. Rosen (Apple’s Sugar, Prime Video’s Hunters), who will also serve as showrunner. David Gordon Green is set to direct and will be an executive producer.

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed is described as a darkly comic thriller about a newly divorced mom (Maslany) who falls down a dangerous rabbit hole of blackmail, murder and youth soccer. Apple Studios and Counterpart Studios are producing the 10-episode, half-hour series. Rosen and Green will executive produce with Simon Kinberg and Audrey Chon of Genre Films, who developed the show under their first-look deal with Apple TV+, and Bard Dorros of Anonymous Content.

Maslany currently stars in horror feature The Monkey, which opened in second place at the domestic box office last week.

Gene Roddenberry created Star Trek: The Original Series in 1966. Roddenberry’s vision for Tos was a space travel exploration in the 23rd Century for a society of planets seeking utopian ideals of the United Federation of Planets. Ufp was founded on the principles of peace, unity, diversity, and evolutionary autonomy expressed in a prime directive.

George Lucas created the original Star Wars movies which premiered in 1977. Lucas' vision for Star Wars was based on a classic good versus evil premise that he found intriguing, similar to the 1950s Flash Gordon series, Spaghetti Westerns (such as "A Fistful of Dollars"), and Akira Kurosawa's iconic Samurai sagas.

Although there is an 11-year difference between when Tos aired and when Star Wars premiered -both are sci-fi/fantasy adventures set in a fictional future timeline where space travel, aliens, and inhabited planets are commonplace in the galaxy. However, Trekkies and Star Wars fans...

Also announced, along with the deal, is a whole new line of 4.5” action figures - the same size as the popular Playmates figures from the ‘90s.

From Ghostface to a paranormal DJ? Deadline reports that the filmmaking team known as Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) are teaming up with Paul Giamatti for a biopic about the late Art Bell. Best known as the founder and original host of Coast to Coast Am, Bell would field unscreened calls from all sorts of people, listening to stories of alien abduction, conspiracy theories, strange creatures, and just about everything you could imagine.

According to Deadline, several studios, including Universal, Amazon, and Warner Bros., are bidding on the Art Bell biopic. Sam Chalsen and Nelson Greaves are writing the script. This is a bit of a different project from the team that has given us Ready or Not, Abigail, and two Scream movies, but it has the potential to be quite interesting. Plus, I could watch Paul Giamatti do just about anything.

Star Trek: Picard was a bit of an up-and-down mess over its three-season run. A turnstile of showrunners, tonal shifts between seasons, and a blatant disregard for its own conceptual premise all led to the show being a mixed bag at best, or a failure at worst. The lone idea that came out of the series was one involving a potential spinoff, dubbed with love as 'Star Trek: Legacy'.

The show would follow Jean-Luc Picard's son, some of the new cast members from the third season of Picard and a few returning legacy characters, namely Seven of Nine. It was a solid idea when it was pitched, and even though the final Picard showrunner, Terry Matalas, really wanted to make the show, Paramount basically buried the project.

instead, they greenlit a different spinoff, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. It'll be interesting to see if that show lives up to the expectations,...

For better or worse, Star Trek: Section 31 is officially in the books. The final verdict? Maybe the worst piece of property Star Trek has ever produced. It's the truth, as fans, both old and new alike, have rejected this film. Even divisive series like Star Trek: Discovery have a strong, but small, fandom. There are people who will argue in defense of that series.

They'll cite season three as a high point, and with that, one more positive than Section 31 will ever have. That's because there's very little if anything at all redeeming about the film. At least on screen. To such a degree that, while it has some who liked it, the film is universally panned. There's a fan or two across the board who like it, but there isn't a sizeable community like you'd see for Discovery.

So, thankfully, the film is done and no sequel should ever be made.

In 2009, the entire course of the Star Trek universe changed dramatically with the release of J.J. Abrams’ reboot. The film, still widely regarded as one of the best and most successful entries in the sci-fi franchise, not only revitalized the series with its fresh take but also managed to intrigue longtime Trekkies and newcomers alike. The movie holds an impressive 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and its current popularity is marked by its ranking at #4 on the Paramount+ streaming charts.

Star Trek starts with a bang, as a time-traveling Romulan named Nero (Eric Bana) alters the timeline by destroying the USS Kelvin.

Star Trek: Lower Decks will likely be the last show of its kind. An animated, comedy, science fiction series, that caters almost exclusively to a niche audience? Yeah, we're not seeing that again anytime soon. The circumstances for its existence will never be replicated.

Paramount+ needed dynamic content that catered to multiple types of people and only had a fininte amount of franchises to pull from. Seeing this was at a time when the money was flowing freely from banks and investors, Paramount took the money in order to build up Paramount+.

So they greenlit shows, regardless of how much interest or money they drew. They needed original content to compete with other services, and with the influx of money coming in to do just that, Paramount got bold and took risks.

Now, those same investors want their money back. This isn't exclusively a Paramount issue, as most streaming services...

Star Trek has two TV series guaranteed for the next two years, and yet it feels like the franchise is on the wane. Star Trek television was resurrected by Star Trek: Discovery in 2017, which was the first new Star Trek TV series in 12 years after Star Trek: Enterprise was canceled in 2005. Discovery's success ushered in an expansive Star Trek on Paramount+ streaming franchise, which came to boast Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Prodigy, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Although there have been 13 Star Trek theatrical movies - and the first Star Trek made-for-streaming movie, Star Trek: Section 31, premieres January 24 on Paramount+ - Star Trek has always been fundamentally a TV franchise. Star Trek is at its best on television, which allows for the long-form storytelling needed to explore complex moral quandaries and Star Trek's massive pantheon of beloved characters.

The perceived strength of...

After five seasons, Star Trek: Discovery has come to an end. The series that gave fans a glimpse of the Star Trek universe both before the voyages of the Starship Enterprise and far in the future was canceled by Paramount in 2024 without explanation. The show received generally favorable reviews from critics, but had split the fanbase, leading to speculation that low viewership is what doomed it. Whatever the reason, Star Trek fans that loved the show were disappointed by its end and were left wondering what the future holds and whether its events would be retained in the franchise's canon.

Some Star Trek fans have criticized Discovery for the ways in which it departs from the tone and aesthetics of past series and for seemingly complicating the lore by introducing advanced technology into the past. These fans have argued that these differences warrant excluding the show from canon and suggested...

Star Trek: Section 31 certainly looks like a departure for the long-running franchise, and one star is “terrified” of how the fans will react.

Robert Kazinsky, who plays Zeph in the streaming movie, expressed his concerns while speaking with SFX Magazine. “I’m terrified of how it’s going to be received, because it’s not the Trek people want,” he said. “The Trek that people want, the Trek that we all want, is just 1,000 more episodes of [The Next Generation]. Everyone’s always furious that they’re not getting more Tng, whilst at the same time, when Tng came out, everybody hated it.“

Kazinsky continued, “So this is going to come along and it’s not going to feel like any Trek that they’ve ever seen. My fear was that it might not feel like Trek at all. So for you to tell me that it still...

WWE star Becky Lynch announced that she is joining Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, 25 years after Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson beat "Big Time Becks" to Star Trek. The next Star Trek series will take place in the 32nd century and follow the events of Star Trek Discovery. In addition to Star Trek: Starfleet Academy's main cast, the new show features appearances from Star Trek: Discovery characters and Robert Picardo's The Doctor from Star Trek: Voyager.

Currently filming two back-to-back seasons in Toronto, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is led by Academy Award winner Holly Hunter as the chancellor of Starfleet Academy, and Academy Award nominee Paul Giamatti as season 1's recurring villain. Becky Lynch, whose real name is Rebecca Quin, will join their ranks as a part of the "bridge crew" for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Lynch will follow where Dwayne Johnson boldly went before 25 years ago.

It's just about time we put 2024 to bed. In a matter of days from when this post goes live, 2025 will be here, and with that, the hope of a new year. For Star Trek, 2024 was an up-and-down year. It did see a new show get announced; Star Trek: Starfleet Academy but two shows ended, with a third in limbo. A fourth show, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds saw all of its momentum halted by a significant delay, while the film side of things is a mess.

The theatrical side of the conversation remains in limbo over Star Trek 4, while the made-for-steaming side is not really doing well with the lead-up to Star Trek: Section 31. A film that doesn't feel or look like a Star Trek film in any way.

Yet, 2025 could help the franchise bounce back. That's why we have a few things we'd like to see happen in...

Star Trek is expected to have a quiet 2025. It's only natural, after all, 2024 saw Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Prodigy, and Star Trek: Lower Decks all release new seasons of their show. For Discovery and Lower Decks, it was the final season. For Prodigy, their fate remains unknown.

Yet, due to the turnover at the top of Paramount, and the new principal owner entering the picture, plus uncertainty about the company's profits and available resources, the studio has been a bit lean this year. 2025 currently doesn't have a lot to offer for fandoms of various products. Star Trek isn't unaffected by this by any means.

Currently, there are only two Star Trek properties getting released in 2025, a far cry from the idea that Paramount wanted to have Star Trek airing new episodes of various shows for 52 straight weeks just a couple of years ago. That idea was unsustainable and those...

Warning: Spoilers For Star Trek: Lower Decks' Season 5 Finale - "The New Next Generation"

Star Trek: Lower Decks' series finale creates a multiverse problem in Star Trek canon. Lower Decks came to a close with its fifth season, which sent the USS Cerritos on a mission to investigate quantum fissures to infinite Star Trek timelines. In Star Trek: Lower Decks' series ender, Starfleet Command informed the Cerritos that they were the only ship close enough to stabilize the massive wormhole before it destroyed the universe. Captain Carol Freeman (Dawnn Lewis) and her crew then beautifully came together to save the day, resulting in the creation of a stable and permanently open portal to various quantum realities.

Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5, episode 9, "Fissure Quest," introduced the starship Anaximander and its crew of Star Trek legacy characters commanded by Captain William Boimler (Jack Quaid). Consisting of T'Pol (Jolene Blalock), Curzon Dax...

WWE Superstar and five-time Women's World Champion Becky Lynch (real name Rebecca Quin) recently announced on X that she'll be joining the cast of the Paramount+ series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy as a member of the bridge crew.

“You know, when you’ve already been champion of the world, there’s only one place to go next, and that’s to the stars,” Lynch said. “I am so excited to share with all of you that I am joining Star Trek: Starfleet Academy as part of the bridge crew. Lads, this has been the most amazing experience acting alongside just a spectacular cast and crew, and I cannot wait for all of you to check it out when it comes out on Paramount+. And hey, live long and prosper.”

The world of Star Trek is about to get bodyslammed. News broke this week that Star Trek: Starfleet Academy was going to beam up one of the most recognizable pro wrestlers of the modern era, with the enlistment of one Becky Lynch. Lynch, real name Rebecca Quinn, has been a major face on WWE screens for almost a decade now.

The 37-year-old, super popular wrestler, announced recently that she was going to be a part of the new Star Trek show on her Instagram account (via TrekMovie.com). The move brings a major name from outside of the world of acting to Star Trek and a move that may hint at Star Trek's future home. As of right now the series is still set to appear on Paramount+.

Yet, there have been rumors for almost a year that Paramount+ may shutter their doors, or merge with another distributor.

In the last seven years, there has been a positive glut of "Star Trek" introduced into the world. Just as the Upn launched with the debut of "Star Trek: Voyager in 1995," so did the new streaming service CBS All Access launch with the debut of "Star Trek: Discovery" in 2017. This was the first "Star Trek" TV series on the airwaves since the cancelation of "Star Trek: Enterprise" in 2005, and many Trekkies were eager to see if the franchise could be restarted. An entirely new creative team had taken over "Star Trek," and they sought to update the decades-old series for a streaming audience.

"Discovery," we would later learn, was only one of many "Star Trek" projects that would debut on CBS All Access — later renamed Paramount+ — over the next few years. To keep people subscribed, Paramount produced "Short Treks." As a hook for fans of "Star Trek: The Next Generation,...

Becky Lynch has joined Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, which adds a global WWE superstar to its already stacked cast. Executive produced by co-showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is currently filming in Toronto. With a cast led by Academy Award-winner Holly Hunter and Academy Award-nominee Paul Giamatti, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has already received an early season 2 renewal on Paramount+.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is set in the late 32nd century after the end of Star Trek: Discovery. Reopened after a century following the galactic calamity of The Burn, Starfleet Academy welcomes a new and diverse class of Starfleet hopefuls, under the guidance of Holly Hunter's Captain, who is also Starfleet Academy's Chancellor. However, a new threat to the United Federation of Planets emerges, likely tied to Paul Giamatti's recurring villain. Becky Lynch plays one of the Starfleet Officers potentially encountering this new enemy.
