‘Star Trek’ Day Announcements Include a Lego Collaboration and a YouTube Kids’ Series

Happy Star Trek Day! While September 8 is a fun holiday for Trek fans any year, 2026 is going to be a big one, marking 60 years since the very first episode of the very first series hit the airwaves in 1966, changing sci-fi’s place in pop culture forever. Paramount is getting the party started early with a bunch of announcements today, including Trek‘s first-ever Lego collaboration as well as a YouTube series aimed at kids that drops today.

Noah Hawley Elaborates (a Little) on His Never-Made ‘Star Trek’ Movie

As Star Trek eases out of its TV revival era, winnowing down its number of series to just a handful (Strange New Worlds, the upcoming Starfleet Academy), Paramount has signaled fresh interest in returning the stalwart sci-fi franchise to the big screen. As fans know, it’s been trying to make that move for years now, with stop-and-start progress on a fourth Star Trek movie to continue the “Kelvin timeline” adventures. Among the many creatives to be associated with the project is Noah Hawley, cur

They Might Be Making the Perfect ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ Game

For as long as Star Trek: Voyager has been around, there has been much debate about if Captain Janeway made the right decisions navigating her crew’s journey home across years of travel from an unexplored corner of the galaxy with little to no support from Starfleet. Should she have killed Tuvix to save the lives of two crewmembers? Should she have been hyperevolved into an amphibian and had sex with one of her senior, also-currently-a-hyperevolved-amphibian officers? Should she have deleted tha

This Week’s ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Hid a ‘Doctor Who’ Easter Egg in Plain Sight

The latest episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds planted the seeds for what’ll eventually become classic Star Trek by giving James Kirk (Paul Wesley) time in the captain’s chair. Along the way, it also decided to have a little crossover with Doctor Who. In this week’s “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail,” Kirk and the Farragut crew have to rescue the Enterprise from the tendrils of a power-draining scavenger ship. Throughout the episode, the camera cuts to the wrapped up Enterprise, and each establ

Paramount’s ‘Star Trek’ Focus Is Back at the Movies—Including ‘Star Trek 4’ (Again)

There’s been no shortage of Star Trek for fans in recent years—provided, of course, they subscribe to Paramount+. But as the sci-fi stalwart’s number of streaming series has dwindled to just Strange New Worlds (which has an endpoint set after its fifth season) and the upcoming Starfleet Academy, the studio behind the franchise is seemingly ramping up hopes for a big-screen return. If that sounds like a promise you’ve heard before, you’re not wrong. The most recent reboot or Kelvin Timeline (or

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Almost Ended With a Movie

Just before the latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds kicked off, we learned that the Enterprise‘s journey had set its end date: the show would conclude with a fifth and final season. However, that apparently wasn’t always going to be the case, and the show nearly ended sooner. That’s according to Rebecca Romijn, who plays Una Chin-Riley (a.k.a. Number One) on the show. Speaking this past weekend at the Star Trek convention STLV in Las Vegas, the actress—via TrekCore—revealed that init

Terry Matalas Reveals New ‘Vision Quest’ Details

At Saturday’s STLV convention, former Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas revealed some Marvel-approved details about his upcoming series, Vision Quest. The sci-fi series reunites him with actors Todd Stashwick and Orla Brady, who respectively played Captain Shaw and Laris/Tallinn in Picard. According to Matalas, Brady will be playing F.R.I.D.A.Y.—Tony Stark’s AI assistant previously voiced in the films by Kerry Condon—and Stashwick is Paladin, a mercenary in Marvel Comics. When Stashwic

‘Enterprise’ Producer Has Hopes Scott Bakula Might Return to ‘Star Trek’

Star Trek is in a bit of an uncertain place right now, as the shows that created its streaming boom have spent the last couple of years either coming to their end or announcing that they’re preparing to do so—and that’s even putting aside that Paramount itself is controversially about to come under new management. Beyond two and a half more seasons of Strange New Worlds and at least two seasons of Starfleet Academy, where Star Trek goes next is unknown. But it’s also a situation where one Trek a

Watch This Documentary About ‘Star Trek: Phase II’ and See What Could’ve Been

The existence of Star Trek: Phase II—the plans for a Star Trek continuation series in the mid-1970s that eventually gave way to Star Trek: The Motion Picture—has been known for a very long time at this point. We’ve seen concept art, we’ve seen story ideas, and we’ve seen it for long enough to see how those nuggets have gone on to influence the Star Trek that we would go on to get for another 50 years. And yet, there’s still plenty to enjoy in this new documentary about the bumpy road Star Trek a

This Week’s ‘Strange New Worlds’ Is a Little Too Cute for Its Own Good

Strange New Worlds loves being Star Trek. That’s different from, say, Lower Decks, a series that loved being about Star Trek and the metatextual acknowledgement of that to the nerdiest of degrees. Strange New Worlds knows that it is Star Trek and enjoys that: its connection to the original, the warts-and-all embrace of episodic storytelling, its desire to poke and prod at itself endlessly, and its willingness to vacillate its tone from high drama to high camp on a dime. Sometimes, that can make

The first Star Trek: Starfleet Academy trailer is filled with Easter eggs

We've known Star Trek: Starfleet Academy was coming for a while now , but we finally have some real footage. Paramount just dropped a trailer , in addition to an official announcement that the show will premiere in "early 2026." For the uninitiated, the show is set at the titular Starfleet Academy in future San Francisco and follows a group of cadets and their instructors. The trailer introduces us to all of the major characters, more or less, all while chancellor Holly Hunter does her best spa

Prepare to Celebrate 60 Years of ‘Star Trek’ With Nacelle’s Nostalgic Figures

Star Trek turns 60 next year, and the franchise is preparing to celebrate in style, especially with a brand new show on the way in Starfleet Academy. But outside of streaming, you’ll be able to celebrate in style with Nacelle’s new line of Star Trek action figures, which will dedicate a whole wave to the original series next year—and io9 has your first up-close look at one of them. As previously (and exclusively) revealed by io9 this past Friday, the third wave of Nacelle’s Star Trek line is se

‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Cast and Creators Lift the Lid on Their New Series

Thanks to San Diego Comic-Con, we know quite a bit more about Star Trek‘s next new series, Starfleet Academy. We got a teaser trailer and character details—and the show’s cast and creators took to the Hall H stage to share even more hints about what’s to come. Though Paul Giamatti—who portrays the show’s “half-Klingon, half-Tellerite” villain, a blend clarified by executive producer and co-showrunner Alex Kurtzman—was not in attendance, Holly Hunter, who plays Academy chancellor Captain Nahla A

The First Trailer for ‘Star Trek: Khan’ Lifts the Lid on a Legend

Almost three years ago, Wrath of Khan director Nicholas Meyer shocked the Star Trek universe when he announced that he would be returning to one of Trek‘s most iconic villains in Star Trek: Khan, a scripted podcast revealing the secret life of Khan Noonien Singh. Now, we have our first look at the series—and know when to expect it. During today’s Star Trek Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Paramount revealed the first trailer for Khan, giving us a first listen at its cast in action. Set be

Paul Giamatti Is Playing an Alien Bad Guy In ‘Starfleet Academy’

Ahead of Star Trek‘s usual blockbuster panel inside Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Entertainment Weekly has lifted the lid on the next new Trek show, Starfleet Academy—and with it, our first look at Paul Giamatti’s mysterious villain. In an extensive preview, Entertainment Weekly revealed a few more intriguing details about the show, which has largely remained hidden ahead of this weekend’s blowout appearance at Comic-Con. Set in the 32nd century after the events of Star Trek: Discovery—and at

While we already know the lineup for wave two of the new line—revealed by none other than io9 ourselves back in March—now we can reveal two of our most anticipated figures in the plastic flesh.

This guide is intended to be a comprehensive look at the tech that Star Trek suggested to drive humanity forward ad astra per aspera.

More (But Not All) of the Original ‘Trek’ Crew Will Come to ‘Strange New Worlds’

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is uniquely situated on the Trek timeline, showing us adventures that unfurled not long before the original series. That means that there’s no avoiding having some familiar character names popping up, and with that, the built-in fun of seeing, say, an iconic figure like Spock be played in a younger iteration, with Ethan Peck stepping in for Leonard Nimoy. This fun change in perspective is something fans already experienced in J.J. Abrams’ alt-world Star Trek movies

A New ‘Star Trek’ Comic Will Bring Captain Kirk Back to Life

Somehow, Captain Kirk returned. Wrong sci-fi franchise for that meme, but it’s true. IDW Publishing has just announced Star Trek: The Last Starship as a new addition to its line of Trek comics, and it’ll focus on a certain Starfleet hero who’s been dead since the big-screen events of 1994’s Star Trek: Generations. How is this possible? Well, beyond the long-held notion that anything is possible in sci-fi, a notion that also applies to comic books, the Hollywood Reporter—which was the first to a
