Star Trek: The Original Series is still beloved, but it’s aged poorly in certain ways – Captain Kirk’s constant womanizing being one of them. Even the Abrams reboot movies kept this element of the character, to some controversy. All the signs are pointing to us getting a new version of James Tiberius in the near future though in CBS All Access’ upcoming Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, so maybe a major change needs to be made to the iconic Enterprise captain in order to bring him firmly into the 21st century.
CBS might feel that way, too, as they’re apparently considering making a big change to the character. Trusted insider Daniel Richtman has revealed on Twitter that sources are telling him Kirk could end up being portrayed as bisexual in Snw. “Heard they are toying with the idea of making Kirk bi in the new series,” Richtman writes.

CBS is in the midst of expanding the Star Trek franchise on TV more than ever before. The latest project to be announced is Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, a Discovery spinoff following Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and the Enterprise in the years before Kirk took command. All the signs are pointing to the show featuring several familiar faces from The Original Series, though. Not least Ethan Peck’s Spock, who will also return from Discovery.
The network seems very pleased with Peck’s portrayal of the iconic Vulcan, then. So pleased, in fact, that they’re even working on a separate spinoff featuring him. According to sources close to Wgtc – the same ones who told us a Pike series was happening months ago – say that CBS is developing a new show for Spock and Kirk as well. Apparently, Strange New Worlds will introduce a third iteration of James Tiberius,...

Captain Christopher Pike is back in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, a brand-new Trek show headed to CBS All Access that will follow the voyages of the Enterprise in the years before Kirk took command. As per Discovery season 2, Anson Mount’s Starfleet legend will be joined by Ethan Peck’s Spock and Rebecca Romijn’s Number One. We’ll no doubt uncover new dimensions to this trio, but the plan is to introduce a bunch of other The Original Series characters into the mix as well.
Sources close to Wgtc – the same ones who told us a Pike spinoff was happening way back in March – say that several Tos crew members will return for Strange New Worlds. As we’ve previously revealed, Uhura and Sulu are amongst them, and another we’re hearing will feature is Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy.
If Snw is ticking off all the iconic Tos characters,...

Before he was launched into the Hollywood big leagues with his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Chris Hemsworth made a brief appearance as George Kirk, father of James Tiberius, in the opening scenes of 2009’s Star Trek. Then, following 2016’s Beyond, Paramount had the bright idea of using this to their advantage and bringing back Hemsworth for Star Trek 4 and pairing him with his grown-up son, as played by Chris Pine.
As you’re probably well aware though, things didn’t go to plan and negotiations with Hemsworth broke down. But all hope’s not lost, as Star Trek 4, in a different form, is now on the move again. The Australian star won’t be appearing in that, but We Got This Covered has learned that the studio still has plans to bring him back for another film.
