Despite being one of the oldest characters in Star Trek history, Captain Christopher Pike wasn't really a compelling character until Anson Mount took the role in Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery. Even then, it has taken Star Trek: Strange New Worlds for Pike to really come into his own as a likable, inspirational lead character. Part of this is because he's not exactly like previous versions of Pike.
Captain Pike first appeared in the original Star Trek pilot episode, "The Cage." Portrayed by Jeffrey Hunter, this Pike was irritable and brooding. He was not only isolated from his crew but openly adversarial with various members. While "The Cage" is an interesting episode overall, it is reasonable to say that this Captain Pike is not really all that fun to watch.
Of course, various elements of "The Cage" got repurposed into the 2-part Original Series episode "The Menagerie." This offered a...

From low-budget romps to high-energy blockbuster films, Star Trek has become one of the most influential sci-fi franchises of all time.

In the past few years, the Trek television universe has become one of the highlights of original programming on Paramount+.

The last time Trekkies saw Admiral Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) in live-action was via a video call to Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) in 2002's "Star Trek: Nemesis." In animation, however, we've been spoiled with the volume of Janeway in recent years. In "Star Trek: Prodigy," a holographic version of Janeway, also played by Mulgrew, served as an ersatz mother figure for the show's teenage protagonists. The real-world Janeway also eventually became involved in the action, and she too was impressed with Dal (Brett Grey), Gwyn (Ella Purnell), and the rest of the Protostar teens, to the point where she helps them apply to Starfleet Academy. In the show's second and final season, Janeway even lead a quest to rescue her old first officer, Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran), and brought the "Prodigy" kids along.
While there are currently no plans to bring Janeway back to "Star Trek" after the end of "Prodigy,...

It has been 8 years since Star Trek Beyond hit theatres, whose financial failure stalled the production of the next movie in the franchise. While the third installment in the rebooted version of the franchise garnered a decent critical reception upon its release, despite making $334M at the box office, it was a financial letdown following its $185M budget.

Earlier this year, Cinemablend asked Star Trek writer-producer Alex Kurtzman whether he thought that a modern Star Trek show could ever reach 100 episodes in the age of streaming. This was fairly standard for previous franchise entries that would later be syndicated to other networks, with The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager all broadcasting nearly 200 episodes across seven seasons—though poor, unloved Enterprise was cancelled just two episode before hitting triple figures (whether you think this is a tragedy probably depends on how recently you re-watched that prequel series).
Kurtzman, who has been a key creative figure in modern Trek since 2009’s J.J Abrams-directed big-screen reboot, said that hitting such a milestone in the era of streaming was “unlikely.” But he also suggested that this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing: “You can talk to old writers of old Trek series, and they’re like, ‘Man, there’s...

After failing to meet box office expectations with his 2023 reimagining of Disney’s “Haunted Mansion,” it seems things are starting to sour between writer/director Justin Simien and the House of Mouse. The filmmaker was set to helm a series for Disney+ centered around a young version of “Star Wars” favorite Lando Calrissian played by Donald Glover, but in a recent interview with Collider, Simien shared how despite a plethora of materials being produced, the studio chose to can the project.
“It was pretty developed,” Simien said. “Yeah, there was a Bible, there was concept art, there were scripts, but it just wasn’t meant to be.”
Despite the emotional toll of dropping the project, Simien told Collider that processing the loss and recognizing what he gained in the process allowed him to move forward with grace.
“For me, it has to be done pretty straight on like, ‘I am in grief.

Patrick Stewart gained worldwide fame when he starred as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The X-Men star who was just relatively known for his stage work back then became a global icon with the spinoff show which lasted seven seasons and four films. He returned to the role in Star Trek: Picard.
The sequel series had a three-season run, which culminated in a nostalgia-filled final season that brought together the original Tng cast in a much-deserved reunion. While the finale was received well by fans, Stewart was reportedly initially apprehensive about the show being more nostalgia-driven than story-driven.

The cast of the upcoming “Star Trek: Section 31,” a direct-to-streaming Paramount+ film starring Michelle Yeoh, Sam Richardson (“The Afterparty”), Omari Hardwick (“Power”) and Kacey Rohl (“The Magicians”), stopped by Variety Studio, presented by Google TV, at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con.
Richardson, Hardwick and Rohl were joined by director Olatunde Osunsanmi and executive producer Alex Kurtzman to talk about the franchise’s upcoming interstellar venture.
A spin-off from the series “Star Trek: Discovery,” the film follows Philippa Georgiou (Yeoh) as she works with Section 31, a secret division of Starfleet tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets.
“The movie is a lot of things. It’s action, drama, comedy, it’s equal parts all of that,” said Richardson, who plays a Quasi, a shapeshifting chameloid. “So, it’s not just up to Quasi to be funny, everybody’s funny in it, and everybody’s serious and the stakes are there for everybody.

“Star Trek: Prodigy” dropped its second season on Netflix on July 1, and series star Kate Mulgrew is holding out hope the animated series will be renewed for Season 3.
Fresh off her appearance at the “Prodigy” panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Mulgrew said the energy in the panel’s ballroom was “electric.”
“I had a full auditorium on Sunday morning for the panel,” she said. “They were thrilled. They were delighted! They’re desperate for this kind of television. I don’t think there’s anything quite like it on television now, because it’s teaching ‘Star Trek’ to a new generation to young children in an entirely novel way.”

The trailer for season five of Star Trek: Lower Decks goes hard into celebrating the series’ final episodes. It even recreates a trailer for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the last adventure of The Original Series crew.
But even as it acknowledges that studio Paramount has chosen to cancel the show after season five, the trailer also insists that the USS Cerritos will continue to boldly go where more respected Starfleet vessels went first. As Mariner says in the trailer, “We haven’t even cracked our second quadrant!”
More than just a standard knowing joke, Mariner’s observation reveals the actual hopes of Lower Decks creator Mike McMahan. In fact, McMahan said as much during the Lower Decks panel at San Diego Comic-Con.
According to SFX Magazine, McMahan told attendees that the fifth season wouldn’t offer closure for Mariner, Boimler, and the other members of the Cerritos crew.

The “Star Trek: Section 31” teaser is here, and it’s a vibe like we’ve never gotten from “Star Trek” before. No Federation root-beer-only drinkers need apply for this club.
Directed by “Star Trek: Discovery” Mvp helmer Olatunde Osunsanmi — who directed that show’s premieres and finales and gave an extra cinematic dimension to the series — “Section 31” puts the spotlight on the secretive covert ops and intelligence unit within Starfleet. Michelle Yeoh, who plays the erstwhile Empress Georgiou of the Mirror Universe, is recruited by the organization to bring a different sensibility to it — one far removed from those who care about the Prime Directive or any other kind of pious Starfleet feel-goodery.
Which is to say that this is the first “Star Trek” property ever where a character says, “You’re a bad bitch.”
Joining Yeoh are actors Omari Hardwick, Sam Richardson, and Kacey Rohl who all appeared...

She’s a tyrant who “murdered her own people by the millions.” And when someone calls her a “bad bitch,” she just smiles and enjoys the attention.
That’s Emperor Philippa Georgiou, played by Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh, in the trailer for Star Trek: Section 31 coming in early 2025. The original movie features Yeoh reprising her role as Philippa Georgiou, a character she first played in Star Trek: Discovery‘s first season. She’s now tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets while facing the sins of her past.

The long-awaited first trailer for Star Trek: Section 31 is finally here, and it definitely brings a fresh vibe to the franchise.
Paramount+ revealed a two-minute look (below) at the Star Trek: Discovery spinoff movie, which stars Everything Everywhere All at Once Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, reprising her role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou.
The show is about Georgiou joining a secret “black ops” division of Starfleet. From the official description, when “tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, she also must face the sins of her past.”
The trailer strives for a more rebellious tone for the nearly 60-year-old Trek franchise, complete with contemporary music (the trailer is set to Beyoncé’s “Formation”), an onscreen “warning” from Starfleet about its “misfit content,” and title card graphics which break with Trek tradition. At one point an officer tells Georgiou that she’s there to keep her from murdering people, and the Emperor replies,...

One of the beans spilled at the Paramount+ Comic-Con panel by EP Akiva Goldsman was the possiblity of a Star Trek stage musical.
In regards to what part of the universe would get stage stoppers — that wasn’t really detailed. However, the stage musical is likely centered around the streaming series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Alex Kurtzman and Goldsman were asked by a fan if there would be more musical episodes ala episode 209 “Subspace Rhapsody” which repped the sci-fi franchise’s first ever music-fueled episode.
Goldsman answered, “We’re in the very early stages of figuring out whether we can bring a version of that to the stage.”
Rebecca Romijn, who plays Una Chin-Riley on Strange New Worlds, who was also on today’s panel, exclaimed, “Akiva, I can’t believe you just said that!”

In the modern age of streaming and prestige TV, less is often considered more. A season of TV will be six, eight, or if you’re really lucky, 10 episodes long. It has been a bone of contention. During the recent writers’ strike, shorter seasons of streaming shows was one of the fields of conflict.
On the other hand, in a recent interview with CinemaBlend, Star Trek’s current head honcho Alex Kurtzman argued, “it’s funny you can talk to old writers of old Trek series, and they’re like, ‘Man, there’s a bunch of filler episodes in there. We are just trying to get to 22 a season,’ you know, and, and we all know which of those episodes were [filler], we know the ones that were truly stellar from the ones that felt like they were kind of spinning their wheels.”

In the current era of filmmaking, a movie is only as good as its marketing strategy. No other film proved this better than Scarlett Johansson’s sci-fi action thriller The Island, which opened in 2005 to lackluster box office collections. However, the film later gained a cult following, with many appreciating the film’s ethical themes.
Johansson herself blamed the bad publicity and promotions that the studio did for the original sci-fi movie. Directed by Michael Bay before his Transformers days and co-written by Star Trek’s Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, the film only earned $162 million against a $126 million budget.

Anson Mount is currently making Trekkies swoon in his role as Captain Christopher Pike on "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds." Before him, though, there was Jeffrey Hunter and Bruce Greenwood (who played Pike in the two J.J Abrams-directed "Star Trek" films).
"Star Trek" cleverly canonized "The Cage" by reintroducing Pike as Jim Kirk's (William Shatner) predecessor as captain of the Enterprise. The 2009 "Star Trek" film (an alternate timeline origin story for the original series) took that a step further and featured Pike as Kirk's mentor. His first scene is him pushing Kirk to sign up for Starfleet.
In that role of a fatherly commanding officer, Greenwood was perfectly cast. He's an authoritative and personable screen presence, one who can even make a death merchant like opioid king Roderick Usher on "The Fall of the House of Usher" charming. With his strong but soothing voice, it makes sense that...

Across the greatly treasured cosmic dimension of Star Trek reside some of the most legendary characters of all time, including Jean-Lu Picard, Ben Sisko, and Spock, to list a few. And yet, the quasi-omnipotent and wholly bratty alley/antagonist, portrayed by John de Lancie in an assortment of Star Trek series, is perhaps one of the most iconic bestowments of the sci-fi franchise.

In the eyes of Q, however, there is only one icon who could truly live up to the moniker and for whom his love – which albeit takes on a mischievous form at times – knows no bounds. And it’s, you guessed it right, the one and only, Patrick Stewart’s passionate intellectual by day and the sultan of hopepunk (it’s a subgenre of speculative fiction in pop culture) by night, Picard.
