A to-be-retitled Star Trek series is an upcoming American television series co-created and showrun by Bryan Fuller for CBS All Access, the first series produced specifically for that service, and the first Star Trek series since Star Trek: Enterprise ceased production in 2005. It is set to premiere on CBS in January 2017 before moving to All Access. The series will introduce new characters to the Star Trek franchise and will not be related to the 2016 film Star Trek Beyond.

Premise

New characters to the Star Trek universe seek new worlds and civilizations, while exploring the franchise's signature contemporary themes.[2]

Production

Development

On November 2, 2015, CBS announced a new Star Trek television series to premiere in January 2017, "on the heels" of the original series' 50th anniversary in 2016.[2][3] It is the first Star Trek television series since Star Trek: Enterprise concluded in 2005,[3] and is "not related" to the 2016 film Star Trek Beyond.[2] Alex Kurtzman, co-writer of the films Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness, and Heather Kadin serve as executive producers on the series, the first to be developed specifically for the CBS All Access on demand service.[2]

In January 2016, new CBS president Glenn Geller revealed that he and the CBS network were not involved in the production of the series, saying, "It really is for All Access. While the network will be broadcasting the pilot, I actually can't answer any creative questions about it."[4] The next month, Bryan Fuller, who began his career writing for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager, was announced as the new series' showrunner and co-creator as well as one of its executive producers.[5] Nicholas Meyer, writer and director of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, also joined the series as a writer and consulting producer.[6] In March, Rod Roddenberry, the son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, and Trevor Roth of Roddenberry Entertainment also joined the series, as executive producers.[7]

In May 2016, at CBS's upfront presentation, a teaser for the series promising "new crews, new villains, new heroes, new worlds" was released featuring an official logo, simply titling the series Star Trek, with "a more specific title to be unveiled at a later date."[8]

Filming

The series will be filmed at Pinewood Toronto Studios,[9] starting in the fourth quarter of 2016.[10]

Release

The series is set to premiere with a "special preview broadcast" on CBS in January 2017, with that pilot and all subsequent first-run episodes to then be streamed weekly in the United States on CBS All Access.[2][11] The series will be distributed on multiple platforms around the rest of the world by CBS Studios International.[2]
