March 24 (UPI) — Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is set to end after two seasons on Paramount+
“We’re incredibly proud of the ambition, passion, and creativity that went into bringing Star Trek: Starfleet Academy to life,” CBS Studios and Paramount+ said in a joint statement to Variety Monday.
“The series introduced audiences to a bold new group of characters, welcomed familiar faces, and expanded the Star Trek universe in exciting new ways. We’re grateful to Alex Kurtzman, Noga Landau, Gaia Violo, and the entire cast and crew who pushed storytelling boundaries in the spirit of Gene Roddenberry’s vision. We look forward to sharing the upcoming second and final season with everyone, and continuing to celebrate the cast, crew, and all that was accomplished with this series.”
Deadline.com said Season 2 recently wrapped production, but no premiere date has been announced yet.
Holly Hunter plays Nahla Ake, the Chancellor of Starfleet Academy and Captain of the U.S.S. Athena, who also happens to be a long-lived half-Lanthanite.
The show introduces viewers to “a young group of cadets who come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism,” a synopsis said.
“Under the watchful and demanding eyes of their instructors, they discover what it takes to become Starfleet officers as they navigate blossoming friendships, explosive rivalries, first loves and a new enemy that threatens both the Academy and the Federation itself,” the summary said.
Paul Giamatti, Oded Fehr and Tig Notaro co-star.
