2026 is a milestone year for the Star Trek franchise, this year marks 60 years since the series premiere. With a whole year of events ahead things kicked off on New Year’s Day at the Rose Parade and continue with the launch of brand new series Starfleet Academy on January 15, 2026.
A brand new trailer for the new show has surfaced overnight and perfectly plays in to the franchise’s birthday celebrations. Packed with new footage, the trailer opens with Captain Nahla Ake (Holly Hunter) addressing the new cadets on the idea of legacy. The trailer then transitions into a wonderfully meta commentary on the idea of Star Trek voiced by characters from across its six-decade history. Listen our for the voices of Captains Picard, Janeway, Kirk, Pike and Sisko alongside other legacy characters in what is a really powerful trailer.
