StarfleetAcademy ‘will be funny’ according to Alex Kurtzman.
He’s also confirmed at the NYCC panel today that the writer’s room is back at work after the WGA strike.
Given the heavier #thriller background (Absentia) of one showrunner Gaia Violo, and youth supernatural CV (TheMagicians; NancyDrew) of Noga Landau the other, sounds as though Tawny Newsome is there to bring some lightness and fun.
I’m really looking forward to seeing more in the 32nd century StarTrek.
I’m also pleading 🙏 let David Cronenberg’s Kovich be involved.
I would love so much to have some of The Magicians mysterious vibe with so true humour mixed in. Glad to know that they’re going for something less earnest than the tone of Discovery for this show, it didn’t seem to be working in the Discovery episode with Tilly and the cadets.
I’ve been trying to find a confirmation on the century it’ll be set in for forever, but I suck at finding these things. Is 32nd century setting confirmed? I’m genuinely hoping it is. So much unexplored territory there.
The original announcement referred to the Academy being re-opened after 100 years, so it’s a pretty safe bet.
