Star Trek has revealed its plans for San Diego Comic-Con.
Per Comickbook.com, Star Trek will take 2023’s San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H by storm. Paramount+ will present Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Star Trek: Discovery at a Star Trek Universe Panel, which will show exclusive content from each series. The panel will hold on Saturday, July 22, by 1:30 pm and last an hour and a half. Star Trek also plans to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Animated Series. The animated series celebration panel will come a day before The Star Trek Universe Panel, Friday, July 21, from 10 am to 11 am in Room 25ABC.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is in its second season and will have booth 3529 on the SDCC convention floor. Star Trek: Lower Decks which will debut its fourth season later in the year, will have some of its characters guest star in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ current season. Star Trek: Discovery, the longest-running of the three shows, will debut its fifth and final season in 2024. The acclaimed Star Trek: The Animated Series, which ran for only two seasons, may have new merchandise, books, and comics tied to the show released at SDCC. The Star Trek brand team panel revealed that on display will be “The latest in publishing, gaming, and beyond with one-of-a-kind giveaways, exclusive sneak peeks, and special panelists.”
Star Trek ‘Phase 2’ set to kick-off on Paramount+
Paramount+ is set to launch the Star Trek television franchise’s second phase within the Star Trek: Discovery continuity. Reportedly, Star Trek boss Alex Kurtzman also plans to release a new Paramount+ exclusive Star Trek movie every two years. The Section 31 movie, which will star Academy Award-winning actor Michelle Yeoh, was initially conceived as a series by Kurtzman. The series was reworked into a film to avoid the oversaturation of Star Trek streaming shows. Yeoh’s Oscar turn in the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once and her busy schedule also influenced the decision.
With Star Trek: Discovery nearing the end of its run, the next live-action series in development is Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The series will introduce audiences to “A new class of Starfleet cadets as they come of age in one of the most legendary places in the galaxy.” Kurtzman and Noga Landau will serve as showrunners and executive producers for the series, which will begin production next year.
Star Trek movies and TV series are currently streaming on Paramount+.
