CBS All Access Orders STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS

CBS All Access is expanding the STAR TREK world with a new DISCOVERY spinoff STRANGE NEW WORLDS.

According to the streaming platform, STRANGE NEW WORLDS is “based on the years Captain Christopher Pike manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise. The series will feature fan favorites from season two of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Number One and Ethan Peck as Science Officer Spock. The series will follow Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock and Number One in the decade before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.”

“Fans fell in love with Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn and Ethan Peck’s portrayals of these iconic characters when they were first introduced on STAR TREK: DISCOVERY last season,” said Julie McNamara, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming, CBS All Access, in a statement. “This new series will be a perfect complement to the franchise, bringing a whole new perspective and series of adventures to STAR TREK.”

“When we said we heard the fans’ outpouring of love for Pike, Number One and Spock when they boarded STAR TREK: DISCOVERY last season, we meant it,” said Alex Kurtzman. “These iconic characters have a deep history in STAR TREK canon, yet so much of their stories have yet to be told. With Akiva and Henry at the helm, the Enterprise, its crew and its fans are in for an extraordinary journey to new frontiers in theSTAR TREK universe.”

“This is a dream come true, literally,” said Akiva Goldsman. “I have imagined myself on the bridge of the Enterprise since the early 1970s. I’m honored to be a part of this continuing journey along with Alex, Henry and the fine folks at CBS.”

The series joins the expanding TREK world on CBS All Access, which includes STAR TREK: PICARD; STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, animated series STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS, and the upcoming Section 31-based series with Michelle Yeoh.
