Star Trek fans have had an exciting package of updates. A new film set decades before the original 1960s series has been green-lit. Toby Haynes has been tapped for the director’s chair. Haynes is responsible for ‘The Reichenbach Fall’ of Sherlock, and the Emmy Award-winning episode of Black Mirror, USS Callister. He also worked on Star Wars Andor. Haynes has been paired with Seth Grahame-Smith, (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, The Lego Batman Movie) a writer with a comedic edge. The whole show is being produced by Bad Robot, who also made Star Trek: Into Darkness and Cloverfield.
There are no details about the plot, but Enterprise, (set a hundred years before Kirk) and Star Trek: Discovery (set ten years before the original series) leave a neat period for it to sit in. The events surrounding the founding of the Federation have yet to be properly explored, so it’s a safe bet that will feature.
Star Trek: Beyond with Chris Pine came out in 2016, but the fourth Star Trek film has yet to materialize. Paramount Plus announced that this incarnation of the crew would return in 2022, and then shelved it eight months later. But the studio has not given up on the last entry in the series, and insiders say it’s still in development.
