Set 900 years after original Star Trek, the series follows teenage cadets rebuilding Starfleet and the Federation post-cataclysm, with an estimated $20 million per episode budget.
- On January 15, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy begins streaming on Paramount+ as a new TV series marking Star Trek's 60th anniversary and serving as a legacy successor to Star Trek: Discovery.
- Set in the late 32nd century after The Burn, the series follows Starfleet Academy's re-establishment and continues threads from Star Trek: Discovery.
- Among the cadets, Sandro Rosta's Caleb Mir anchors the younger roster alongside new-species characters Darem Reymi and Genesis Lythe, while Paul Giamatti plays antagonist Nus Braka.
- Reception of the show may well shape the near-term trajectory of Star Trek, as critics writing from the debut's early episodes call Starfleet Academy promising yet unfinished.
- Filmed in Ontario with Waterloo exteriors and Toronto's Pinewood interiors, the production looks expansive with 10 episodes scheduled and online estimates reaching $20 million per episode.
