The streamer's latest expansion in the Star Trek universe will be a coming-of-age story about Starfleet cadets
School’s in session at Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Paramount+ is continuing to expand its slate of Star Trek shows and has officially greenlit the new coming of age story after it entered development a year ago.
“Admission is now open to Starfleet Academy!” co-showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau write in a statement. “Explore the galaxy! Captain your destiny! For the first time in over a century, our campus will be re-opened to admit individuals a minimum of 16 Earth years (or species equivalent) who dream of exceeding their physical, mental and spiritual limits, who value friendship, camaraderie, honor and devotion to a cause greater than themselves. The coursework will be rigorous, the instructors among the brightest lights in their respective fields, and those accepted will live and study side-by-side with the most diverse population of students ever admitted. Today we encourage all who share our dreams, goals and values to join a new generation of visionary cadets as they take their first steps toward creating a bright future for us all. Apply today! Ex Astris, Scientia!”
