In March 2023, Paramount announced Star Trek: Starfleet Academy – a brand-new series that will follow the lives of cadets and their instructors at the renowned institution. Starfleet Academy Season 1 ran from January to March 2026, and Season 2 is currently in post-production. I would expect to see it in 2027 or perhaps 2028.
You can check out all of my coverage of the series below, including my thoughts on the show’s first season.
