STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS Starring Spock, Captain Pike, And Number One Ordered By CBS All Access

We have some huge Star Trek news for you today, as CBS All Access has ordered Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to series. Starring Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, and Rebecca Romijn as Captain Pike, Spock and Number One, the series is set to follow them, "in the decade before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy."

The trio was first introduced in season two of Star Trek: Discovery, and the demand from fans to see them return has been vocal ever since. The way that season ended seemingly closed the door on that happening, so this news is bound to be welcomed by viewers. 

Discovery and Star Trek: Picard executive producer Akiva Goldsman is penning the series premiere from a story written by him,  Alex Kurtzman, and Jenny Lumet. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is now the fifth Trek series at the streaming service, with the others being the upcoming animated spinoff Star Trek: Lower Decks, and the untitled live-action project starring Michelle Yeoh's Philippa Georgiou. 

"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," CBS All Access executive vice president and head of programming Julie McNamara said. "This new series will be a perfect complement to the franchise, bringing a whole new perspective and series of adventures to Star Trek."

Given current world events, chances are we'll be waiting for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds for a while, but this is definitely exciting news, and the franchise's future clearly lies on the small screen.

@BigMikeReviews - Discovery and Picard have been steaming piles of hot garbage so far, but Mount as Pike was one of the few bright spots. I'm choosing to be excited, for now. I'll have plenty of time to hate it later if it sucks like the other two.

@BackwardGalaxy - I'm just happy we're getting all these shows so I can watch these two middle aged drunks from Wisconsin tear it all apart.

@BigMikeReviews - Same. I'm stoked for that Plinkett review about it. I hope it's about Nu-Trek at large

Is Alex Kurtzman still involved? He is? Then it's going to be shit like all his work.

YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anson Mount Captain Pike has been the best part of all new Star Trek going back to JJ Films.

The sets are gorgeous, the uniforms pop off the screen. And the chemistry with the 3 leads is electric!

I had cancelled CBS after Pike went off Discovery and nothing from Picard got me back...but Thsi is a Game Changer!

@IronGenesis - Thank you. I agree. I don't know why so many fans....maybe the hardcore fans are so livid about discovery and Picard. Both shows are good.

Might want to include that in your article.

Anson Mount was a great Pike. Nothing like Jeffrey Hunter, but hey, I could like this. But I won't. Alex Kurtzman knows nothing about what made Star Trek great. He isn't smart or clever, yet he thinks he is.

@Dredd97 - Anson Mount is just great in general. Shame what happened to him in the Marvel TV universe... He needs to be in a proper MCU movie...

I actually think a new Star Trek show would do well on CBS TV in a prime time slot again, instead of this " [not]all access."

@FleischerSupes - Hey, theres a concept. Make it available for everyone, focus on weekly adventures, and let's do some exploration.

Great news. Lorca and Pike were the highlights of that show.

I'm catching up with Star Trek lately and i just started season 6 of TNG, i see no resemblance of classic Picard with the one i've seen in the few episodes i endured before giving up on the new show.

Are DS9 and Voyager worth watching? There are a ton of seasons.

@Darth258 - DS9 and Voyager are good. Voyager is a mixed bag, but good for the philosophy of Trek.
Picard is nothing like the TNG character in his show. It's really sad

I’m actually very intrigued by all the new Star Trek shows, but I will NEVER pay for CBS. Period.
