🪐 Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Takes Flight on Paramount+

It’s difficult to “boldly go where no one has gone before” at this late stage in the Star Trek franchise, but the latest iteration called Starfleet Academy visits the oft-mentioned but not fully explored training ground for the Federation’s future military leaders. After yesterday’s premiere, many an article, including our spoiler-filled review of the two-part series premiere, popped up on our site for those looking to learn more about the newest Star Trek kid on the block.

In addition to our headlining interview below with series creator Alex Kurtzman and lead actor Holly Hunter, who plays Chancellor Nahla Ake, we’ve also got some commentary from Star Trek: Voyager veteran Robert Picardo, who reprises his Doctor role for the new series. And don’t miss these other Star Trek: Starfleet Academy headlines published since our last newsletter:
