The creators and the entire cast and crew were commended for pushing storytelling boundaries in line with Gene Roddenberry’s vision. They look forward to sharing the upcoming second and final season with fans and celebrating all that was achieved with the series.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy takes place 1,000 years after the original series and follows a group of young Federation cadets as they navigate the complexities of becoming officers. The show stars Holly Hunter as Nahla Ake, alongside actors like Paul Giamatti and Canadian actress Tatiana Maslany.
