Nickelodeon Orders New Animated "Star Trek" Series

Nickelodeon and CBS Television Studios have greenlight new animated “Star Trek” series to be developed by Kevin and Dan Hageman (“Trollhunters” and “Ninjago”) and overseen for Nickelodeon by Ramsey Naito, EVP, Animation Production and Development, Nickelodeon. Debuting exclusively on Nickelodeon, the series expands the “Star Trek” universe for a new generation of fans. The new original CG-animated series follows a group of lawless teens who discover a derelict Starfleet ship and use it to search for adventure, meaning and salvation.

2. Why not ask "Is Disney squeezing the Marvel golden goose dry?"

Star Trek looks like it will only have three series total.

Marvel, on the other hand, tons more movies to come, a series on ABC, and with Disney+ on the way which promises several Marvel series...I'd say they're doing a better job of it.

3. I find the original animated Trek series unwatchable as an adult.

Wish they were doing this one anime style instead of Toy Story style.

4. They should have stopped after Voyager.

I haven’t seen the recent movies. I hear those are good.

I’m a Trekkie. Stop ruining it!

5. My wife and I are huge Star Trek fans.

Something has been lost.

We did not subscribe to CBS All Access for Discovery.

Not enthusiastic about the reboot movies.

My first television crush was Lt. Uhura, who knew her way around the insides of a radio, subspace or otherwise, just as I did as a kid.

I was witness to the messy creation of some of the earliest and most notorious mimeograph slash.

I'll be forever amused by those who have claimed it as their own.
