Valiant?Alex Kurtzman and CBS TV Studios have set the latest extension of the Star Trek TV franchise. Nickelodeon is in negotiations for a Star Trek animated series from Emmy-winning writers Kevin and Dan Hageman (Trollhunters, Ninjago), CBS TV Studios and Kurtzman’s studio-based Secret Hideout banner.
Penned by the Hageman brothers, the animated series is targeted at younger audiences. Because of that, it would be the first new Star Trek project outside of CBS All Access, which has an adult focus.
The project, whose concept is not being revealed, is envisioned as a major tentpole series for Nickelodeon under its new president Brian Robbins. It also marks a collaboration between Viacom and CBS Corp companies that likely will become corporate siblings as their parents are headed to a merger.

Re: ‘Star Trek’: Nickelodeon Near Deal For Kids Animated Ser
I like this idea, under the following conditions:
1) It has to be true to the original Trek. I don't mean having to be dead-on with canon, but it should be more exploration and "use our brains before our phasers" than a giant battle fest.
2) It needs to be whimsical like TAS, which as a children's series, it should be. I'd rather it risk bordering on the absurd a la "The Infinite Vulcan" than risk turning it into something dark like "Clone Wars"
3) Don't spit on TOS and the predecessors by making everything ultra-advanced or have the writers turn their noses up to the "primitive" TOS the way the Discovery show runners seem to have

Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?

What's the most popular animated show that currently exists? Because I'll bet that this will be like that.

Actually I was thinking more adultish, or at least teenish. Probably those Star Wars animated ones, like Clone Wars?

Hmm having Piccolo as Spock might work. Yamcha as the weekly red shirt guy. Goku as Kirk with Chi Chi as the yeoman slapping him. Tien as Scotty. Vegeta as McCoy would be interesting. Oh! Bulma as Nurse Chapel! Gohan as Chekov. Future Trunks as Sulu. Master Roshi as a Admiral.
Might work....
