Grab your padds, cadets: classes at Starfleet Academy are underway. Production has begun on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, the newest entry in the Star Trek TV universe, at the Pinewood Toronto Studios’ newly-christened Star Trek stage. The official Star Trek social media accounts and website shared the first images from the set, featuring familiar faces that are new to the franchise, including Oscar winner Holly Hunter and Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti.
First Images from the Set
The first season, comprising ten episodes, currently has no set premiere date. Two images were released to mark the start of production. The first image features cast members outside of the Star Trek stage at Pinewood Toronto. The second image appears to be a table read, likely of the first episode, with most of the principal actors and one very familiar face: Robert Picardo, reprising his role as the hologram doctor from Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Prodigy.
Setting and Storyline
Starfleet Academy is set in the 32nd century, during the Discovery era, about 900 years after the Kirk/Enterprise era. The Federation is in a phase of rebuilding its influence. The series will introduce us to a young group of cadets who join to pursue a common dream of a united galaxy. Under the watchful eyes of their instructors, the cadets will discover what it takes to become Starfleet officers, amid blossoming friendships, explosive rivalries, first loves, and a new enemy that threatens both the academy and the Federation.
Impressive Cast
The cast of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is led by Oscar winner Holly Hunter, who plays the captain and chancellor of Starfleet Academy. Joining her is Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti as an unnamed villain. Familiar faces from other Trek series are also part of the cast. Robert Picardo returns as the hologram doctor, while Tig Notaro reprises her role as engineer Jett Reno. Oded Fehr and Mary Wiseman return from Star Trek: Discovery as Admiral Charles Vance and Sylvia Tilly, respectively.
The cadets on the series are played by Bella Shepard, George Hawkins, Kerrice Brooks, Karim Diane, Zoe Steiner, and Sandro Rosta. Comedian Gina Yashere will also be a recurring guest star.
