" Star Trek: Discovery " has finally ended its groundbreaking run after five seasons to usher in the streaming age of Gene Roddenberry's baby. Keeping the creative energies burning, the next high-flying Trek project, "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy," is set for release in early 2026.

Kerrice Brooks—who became emotional watching the Starfleet Academy teaser for the first time, which immediately endeared her to the entire Hall H audience—co-stars as Sam, “aka Series Acclimation Mil, the first member of her species, the Kasqians, to sign up for Starfleet,” according to the official description.

Set in the 32nd century at Starfleet's reopened San Francisco university campus by the Bay, "Starfleet Academy" arrives in early 2026 and follows the triumphs and tribulations of a fresh class of young cadets trying to earn the honor of being one of the Federation’s best and brightest.
