Today at the Star Trek panel in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, we were treated to tons of cool new info, and one of those pieces of news was the surprise announcement of a new series in the works from Star Trek producer Alex Kurtzman, Justin Simien (Dear White People, The Haunted Mansion), who moderated the entire Star Trek panel as a huge fan of the franchise, and Tawny Newsome, voice actor from Star Trek: Lower Decks..
Simien and Newsome are co-writing the half-hour live-action comedy with the steward of the Star Trek franchise, Alex Kurtzman, who will be making his half-hour writing debut.
No title or format (single-camera of multi-camera) have been revealed for the comedy, in which Federation outsiders serving a gleaming resort planet find out their day-to-day exploits are being broadcast to the entire quadrant.
Additional clues provided by Simien and Newsome include that the comedy will feature some 25th century shenanigans, odd couple pairings, and…vibes?
Stay tuned for more updates.
