The streaming service announced Thursday that it has handed a series order to Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, its fifth live-action Star Trek series (and seventh Trek series overall). Franchise boss Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau (The CW’s Nancy Drew) will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers.

“Admission is now open to Starfleet Academy!” Kurtzman and Landau said in a statement. “Explore the galaxy! Captain your destiny! For the first time in over a century, our campus will be re-opened to admit individuals a minimum of 16 Earth years (or species equivalent) who dream of exceeding their physical, mental and spiritual limits, who value friendship, camaraderie, honor and devotion to a cause greater than themselves.
I've seen a byline that says, "Trek gets its Riverdale." This made my insides turn cold.

There have been ideas about this for ages, I hoped it would never see the light of day. Hey ho. We'll have to see how it is.

I've never seen "Riverdale." I've read about "Riverdale," and I would never give something that is comparable to "Riverdale" a chance, except that this is Star Trek.

This can be really bad like CW bad. I hope they don't go that route.
