Some people are just defined by the genre they perform in. Scott Bakula and William Shatner fit that description to a "T." They're synonymous with the world of sci-fi, and they're not the only ones. Famous names like Sigourney Weaver, Mark Hamil, and others have the careers they do, in part, due to their appreciation for sci-fi.
Another name that belongs with the Bakula's of the world is that of Katee Sackhoff. Most known recently for Star Wars, where she played Bo-Katan Kryze, she rose to fame with her involvement with the 2004 remake of Battlestar Galactica.
She played a gender-swapped version of Starbuck, now known as Kara Thrace (previously just Starbuck). She added depth, intrigue and uniquness to the role that the original character lacked. Being a byproduct of the 1970s, all the original Starbuck did was smoke, womanize and fight Cylons. Thanks to Sackhoff, the new Starbuck was a much deeper character.

Robert Picardo has made a return as The Doctor from Star Trek: Voyager not only on Star Trek: Prodigy, but he's one of the main characters for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, the newest series coming from Paramount+. Should Prodigy get picked up for a third season, there's no reason to believe that The Doctor won't still be part of the team. Not that fans are complaining. We'd missed the acerbic wit of the Emergency Medical Hologram and were thrilled to see him in the first look for season two of Prodigy, which is available on Netlix.
Had Picardo not made his way to Prodigy, though, there was another option awaiting him as Mike McMahan, the creator of Star Trek: Lower Decks, had every intention of bringing the doctor aboard the Cerritos to tutor Tendi, according to an interview he gave to Trekmovie. According to McMahan, though, before any of the series cast a legacy character,...

Star Trek: Lower Decks is set to close out its run on Oct. 24, 2024, as the show premiers its fifth and final season. Airing on Paramount+, the final 10 episodes will bring a close to the show's run. While it's had a good run for a modern-era Nu Trek show, fans are still sad to see it go.
Whether you're sad to see it go, happy you got it, or a little bit of both, we have four things you should remember as he heads into the final stretch.

For fans of Star Trek: Lower Decks, this is arguably the saddest piece of information we could pass along. The series is coming to a close and there will be no further episodes of the beloved animated-comedy. While it wasn't for every Star Trek fan, it certainly was one of the more creative...

When Star Trek: Strange New Worlds wrapped up their second season, they were in the middle of their own unwinnable scenario. The Gorn had captured members of the Federation, and the U.S.S. Enterprise was given the order to withdraw from the conflict. Fans were left on bated breath as Captain Christopher Pike stood with an uncertain expression on his face, lost in a whirlwind of thought.
Obviously, the heroes would win the day, it's Star Trek after all, but the how is the question. Well, at New York Comic Con, we got a hint at how things may shake out when Star Trek premiered the first look at the show's third season.
In the snippet, which is roughly three minutes long, we see Pike snap out of his uncertainty and put together a plan to save his fellow Federation cohorts thanks to help from his crew. The scene...

Star Trek is set to debut a new show in either late 2025 or early 2026. The show is called Star Trek: Starfleet Academy and will not only feature a young cast of newcomers, but will be tentpoled around series lead Holly Hunter and main villain Paul Giamatti. They'll also feature returning stars like Oded Fehr, Robert Picardo and Tig Notaro.
It's set in the rebuilt Starfleet Academy of the 32nd century, not long after the events of Star Trek: Discovery came to a close. It's a continuation of that story, in a way and more characters from Discovery may make cameos in the Academy series. So there's potential for characters to keep crossing over.
It has the potential to be a fun and entertaining show, even if it's marketed to the CW/Teen demographic. Still, potential is one thing, proof of concept is another. We have no idea if Starfleet Academy is going to be good.

Paramount+ unveiled a preview clip of the forthcoming third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds at New York Comic Con today, alongside the news that guest star Rhys Darby (Our Flag Means Death) would be aboard for the ride.
Based on the years Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise, the CBS Studios-produced series follows the leader and his team, which features Science Officer Spock (Ethan Peck), and Number One (Rebecca Romijn), in the years before Captain Kirk boarded the starship, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.
While no release date is set, the new installment is set to debut in 2025. The series has already been renewed for a fourth season.

Paramount+ has debuted the trailer for the fifth and final season of the animated comedy “Star Trek: Lower Decks.” The first two episodes will premiere on Thursday Oct. 24 on the Paramount + streaming service.
The 10-episode season produced by CBS Studios will drop every Thursday from its release date through to Dec. 19.
In this season the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos must close all “space potholes,” which are subspace rifts unleashing chaos into the Alpha Quadrant. This combined with their ongoing diplomatic problems leaves them with a rather full plate as junior officers Mariner, Boimer, Tendui and Rutherford deal with: an Orion war, furious Klingons, diplomatic catastrophes, murder mysteries and their own ambitions.
The “Star Trek” franchise remains a priority at Paramount under the purview of franchise shepherd Alex Kurtzman. Even with “Lower Decks” ending, the company has the third season of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” in the works,...

In season five of Star Trek: Lower Decks, the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos is tasked with closing “space potholes” – subspace rifts that are causing chaos in the Alpha Quadrant. Pothole duty would be easy for Junior Officers Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, and Rutherford … If they didn’t also have to deal with an Orion war, furious Klingons, diplomatic catastrophes, murder mysteries, and scariest of all: their own career aspirations.

Paul Giamatti is one of the finest actors going. He is the true "character actor" archetype we're told so much about. The type of performer who can't be typecast and will dive deep into any role given to him. Truly a talented thespian and an amazing get for the folks behind Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
Yet, the multi-time award winner is coming in with some outlandish hype around his name. Not too dissimilar from one a pro sports team lands a major free agent, landing Giamatti was unexpected. He may arguably be the best actor that Star Trek has acquired in not just years, but maybe decades (if not ever). Yet, a talented performer needs more than what they bring to the table.
They need a script. More importantly, they need a well-crafted character supported by said script. So color I was shocked when I saw ScreenRant post a shocking...

Star Trek fans are desperate for a sequel to Star Trek: Picard. There was an idea floated out there by Terry Matalas, who envisioned a new show centered around Seven of Nine and Jack Crusher, the biological son of Jean-Luc Picard. It would feature several other characters like Sidney La Forge and maybe a few other veterans of the Star Trek franchise.
In essence, it would be the first continuation of Star Trek stories since Picard and would remain one of the few shows that actually advanced the plot forward. Most shows, like Discovery, Lower Decks, Prodigy, and Strange New Worlds, all fall in between other established shows in the universe.
Yet, this sequel series, dubbed Sar Trek: Legacy, would be the furthest point in the timeline, aside from the forthcoming Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (and later seasons of Discovery). It would be a fun new idea that many fans are excited about.

When it comes to any Star Trek, some fans will always stake their claim to who the "best" character from any series is. For Star Trek: Voyager, many would say that character is The Doctor. A hologram meant for short-term situations of a medical emergency variety, over time, becomes so much so. The Doctor as he was so affectionately named, became the breakout character of the show thanks in part to his actor, Robert Picardo's portrayal.
His evolution, growth, and dynamic actor gave The Doctor all the necessary skills (so to speak) to become the series best and most well-written character. At least in the eyes of many fans. So it wasn't a surprise that he'd be called back into action for the next live-action series, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.

There have been a lot of Star Trek shows coming out in the past few years, but few have captured hearts and minds like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. This prequel series follows Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and his crew aboard the USS Enterprise, filling in the years before Captain James T. Kirk took over the ship in the original series. After experimenting with weightier storytelling in Star Trek Discovery and Star Trek: Picard, Strange New Worlds signified a return to form for the franchise with its adventure-of-the-week episodes and lighter tone.
It's obvious that Paramount+ knows it's got a hit on its hands, because Strange New Worlds has already aired two seasons and has a third on the way in 2025. But that's not all!

One of the beans spilled at the Paramount+ Comic-Con panel by EP Akiva Goldsman was the possiblity of a Star Trek stage musical.
In regards to what part of the universe would get stage stoppers — that wasn’t really detailed. However, the stage musical is likely centered around the streaming series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Alex Kurtzman and Goldsman were asked by a fan if there would be more musical episodes ala episode 209 “Subspace Rhapsody” which repped the sci-fi franchise’s first ever music-fueled episode.
Goldsman answered, “We’re in the very early stages of figuring out whether we can bring a version of that to the stage.”
Rebecca Romijn, who plays Una Chin-Riley on Strange New Worlds, who was also on today’s panel, exclaimed, “Akiva, I can’t believe you just said that!”

It's been a busy week for Paul Giamatti. Having just signed up to lead Eli Roth's upcoming Hostel TV adaptation, The Holdovers actor is now preparing to boldly go into the Star Trek Universe with Paramount+ spin-off series Starfleet Academy, which starts production later this summer. According to Deadline, Giamatti will take on the role of the first season's as-yet-unnamed villain, a man with an ominous past connected to one of the Academy's cadets.
