It’s official: Paramount+ has ordered a Starfleet Academy TV series.

After more than a year in development, the streamer has greenlit Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, plus released a description of the show.

The new series description and quote below from the showrunners seems to hint at a more soapy YA Trek than the other shows, as well as increased diversity (which, given this is the world of Star Trek, could also refer to species diversity as well).

Starfleet Academy “will introduce us to a young group of cadets who come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism. Under the watchful and demanding eyes of their instructors, they will 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.”

Noga Landau (Nancy Drew) will serve as co-showrunner
