Also seeing the return of familiar faces like Brent Spiner as Data, Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine, Jonathan Frakes as William Riker, and Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi - this will be a reunion of characters from Next Generation and Voyager - which will be a treat to longtime Trek fans!
Star Trek: Picard - consisting of ten episodes for its first season, will premiere sometime in early 2020.
On this day September 8th 1966, a man named Gene Roddenbery created and launched one science fiction television show that dared to utter the words "Space... The Final Frontier" and chronicle the adventures of a crew that explored strange new worlds, lives and civilizations out in the cosmos. The audience would then be treated to three seasons of that weekly sci-fi adventure, featuring the crew of the U.S.S Enterprise and their mission to "Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before"...
That show was STAR TREK, and it has been 50 YEARS since it began and spawned an entire legion of dedicated fans that are affectionately known by many names - most commonly "Trekkies". From visiting alien homeworlds such as Vulcan to confronting hostile races such as the Klingons and Romulans, the show made great use what the imagination could create, as well as injecting human drama and adventure in a interstellar setting that held an untold number of dangers and mysteries. Following the exploits of Captain James T. Kirk, First Officer Spock, and the rest of the crew of the Enterprise, the series had a cult following way after its cancellation and spawned its own set of feature films continuing the adventures of the legendary crew after their five-year mission in the series. Soon afterwards, spin-off shows were formed and led to the creation of the Star Trek franchise - which includes the other notable shows "Star Trek: The Next Generation", "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", and "Star Trek: Voyager".
More spin-offs and explorations in media followed the Star Trek franchise through the years, but interest in the series was arguably renewed and peaked thanks to the "Abramverse" or "Kelvin Timeline" that was introduced with the 2009 Star Trek film - featuring an alternate reality of the Original Series created after an incident involving the original older Spock played by Leonard Nimoy.
The new movie timeline introduced new actors into the familiar roles of Kirk, Spock, and the rest of the Enterprise, and two sequels were released in 2013 and 2016 respectively. The latest one released last July was "Star Trek Beyond", which was directed by Justin Lin and featured a new adventure set in the middle of the rebooted five year mission of the Enterprise set in that alternate reality.
Finally, a new series called "Star Trek Discovery" is slated to debut on January 2017, set a decade or so before the events of the original series. What the future may hold for the Trek franchise is anyone's guess... But definitely the adventure continues for anyone who dares to explore the great unknown.
Hitting theaters next week and featuring the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise on what looks to be their most desperate mission yet, Paramount Pictures has released a new TV Spot for "Star Trek Beyond" - the third film in the "Abramsverse" Star Trek alternate reality timeline that once again features Chris Pine as Capt. James T. Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, John Cho as Sulu, the late Anton Yelchin as Chekov, and Simon Pegg as Scotty.
Via Superherohype, the new TV Spot is called "Unity" and gives a quick look at the new film adventure, which honors the 50th Anniversary of the Star Trek Franchise.

Reported by Newsarama and announced by IDW Publishing, CBS Consumer Products, and DC Entertainment, the worlds of Hal Jordan and his Green Lantern corps plus the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise are going to collide, as a new six issue miniseries is coming out called "Star Trek/ Green Lantern: The Spectrum War", in which both worlds cross space and time to stop the power rings from falling into the hands of Star Trek villains.
Star Trek/ Green Lantern: The Spectrum War, starting this July, will be written by Mike Johnson and illustrated by Angel Hernandez.
Following up on the recently released "Uhura" character poster and "Enterprise Crashing" one sheet, Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot Productions have released yet another character poster, this time showing Zachary Quinto reprising his role as the Enterprise's executive science officer and second-in-command, Mr. Spock!
Released by the official Star Trek website, the new one sheet is a shot taken right from the cliffhanger prologue sequence that aired in IMAX theaters months ago, in which Commander Spock is seemingly left to his fate in a volcano that is about to erupt in an alien planet he and the crew of the U.S.S Enterprise are trying to save. No doubt we'll find out what happens to Spock when the movie hits in May, but for now bask in the danger and suspense to come in the next adventure helmed by director J.J Abrams!
