Here we go back to where it all began! In the future … so back to the future and wait, isn’t that another franchise?
Yes, but that’s not relevant here; what we have in our hand little Star Trek loving hands is a cool new series that looks at what happens to new recruits to Starfleet as it is in the 32nd century which is the far-future time period that occupied a few seasons of the much-missed Star Trek: Discovery.
Excitingly filming of the second season is underway so we have a lot to look forward to when Star Trek: Starfleet Academy premieres its first two episodes (the remaining eight of ten follow weekly after that until 12 March) on 15 January 2026 on Paramount+
