Star Trek Day, September 8, commemorates the first Star Trek episode to air on U.S. television in 1966, an episode called "The Man Trap."
On this, the third annual celebration of Star Trek Day by Paramount+, the two-hour-long live-streamed event, was co-hosted by Tawny Newsome and Paul F. Tompkins.
In addition to announcements about the various series, the program included a loving tribute to Nichelle Nichols, who passed away on July 30 at the age of 89.
Newsome, of course, is also the voice of Ensign Beckett Mariner on Star Trek: Lower Decks, while Tompkins voices Dr. Migleemo and various other characters on the animated comedy.
The two also co-host the popular podcast Star Trek: The Pod Directive, which they were pleased to share -- as part of their hosting duties -- has been renewed for a third season.

This Star Trek: Discovery interview contains spoilers for “Die Trying.”
Nhan might be the most unique “redshirt” in this history of Star Trek. Not only was she the first person to wear a literal red shirt on Star Trek: Discovery, but her character has also managed to survive, partially by trading her security officer’s uniform for the mostly-blue Disco Starfleet uniform. “I kept asking if I could go back to it,” Rachael Ancheril tells Den of Geek. “I kept saying, ‘Where’s my red shirt!’”
As the actress who has played Commander Nhan on Discovery since Season 2, Ancheril has been keenly aware that her character exists as a kind of confluence of more than one era of Trek. She beamed-over from the classic Enterprise with Pike, but the species to which her character belongs — the Barzan — originated in The Next Generation. As Nhan seemingly makes her exit from the USS Discovery,...

Michael Chabon, the Pulitzer-prize winning author of “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay” as well as “The Mysteries of Pittsburgh” and “Wonder Boys,” sounded almost giddy on the phone. “It’s so much fun to be able to talk about ‘Star Trek,'” he said.
Chabon makes his television-writing debut with the newest installment of “Short Treks,” a series of”Star Trek: Discovery” short films on CBS All Access. But that’s really a prelude to the most exciting gig: being a part of the writers’ room for the upcoming series that marks the return of Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard.
Without revealing anything about Picard’s new adventures, Chabon said the experience working on the show left him flustered. “To be sitting in the room with Patrick Stewart, just sitting there next to me — I tried to be cool about it,” he said. “I think we all tried to be cool about it.

CBS All Access has big, big plans for the Star Trek franchise, and don’t we know all about it.
In the immediate future, we have the second season of Discovery to look forward to, which will bring with it the introduction of new versions of Spock, Captain Pike and more, while also promising a lighter tone and more cheerfulness amongst the crew, after the grim and dark rookie outing.
But before that, the network will be rolling out Star Trek: Short Treks, four standalone stories that will premiere on October 4th and focus on characters from Discovery. We’d heard about the project a few months ago but now, we’ve got all the details, and it certainly sounds exciting.
From what we understand, the individuals who’ll take the spotlight in these shorts are Mary Wiseman (Tilly), Doug Jones (Saru) and Rainn Wilson (Harry Mudd), along with a...

The Star Trek franchise is expanding on CBS All Access. The streaming service has announced Star Trek: Short Treks, four stand-alone short stories that will begin rolling out on Thursday, October 4 ahead of the early 2019 Season 2 return of Star Trek: Discovery.
Each of the four stories will center on a key character, including familiar faces from Star Trek: Discovery: Mary Wiseman (Tilly), Doug Jones (Saru) and Rainn Wilson (Harry Mudd), in a short he will also direct, as well as a new character unfamiliar to fans, Craft, played by Aldis Hodge.
Star Trek: Discovery follows the voyages of Starfleet on their missions to discover new worlds and new life forms, and one Starfleet officer who must learn that to truly understand all things alien, you must first understand yourself. The series features a new ship and new characters while embracing the same ideology and hope for the future that...
