Alex Kurtzman promises more animated Star Trek for the small screen
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Star Trek producer Alex Kurtzman is making good on his promise to
deliver more Trek-related projects to the small screen. Speaking
with The Hollywood Reporter, Kurtzman has promised at least one
more animated series to go with Star Trek: Lower Decks, a half-hour
comedy from Mike McMahan (Rick and Morty). Additionally, CBS All
Access will be getting two more Star Trek: Short Treks short-form
series, both of which will be animated.
"Our goal is to not only expand the definition of Star Trek and
what has qualified as traditional Star Trek, but also to tell
stories that are both self-contained in a very short period of time
that also connect to the larger picture of what we're doing, not
only in Discovery but in the world building of Trek in general,"
Kurtzman said. "And you get to tell these very intimate, emotional
stories that are side stories to characters. So you get the benefit
of the experience in and of itself but then when you watch
Discovery you'll see that these were all setting up things in the
world of season two."
Kurtzman also said there will be a "minimum of two" animated series,
so it sounds like they could be exploring more options in the future.
"What's exciting about it is not only looking at each animated series
as what's the different tone," Kurtzman began, "but what's the
different technology we can apply to these things so that visually
they're entirely different?"
The producer also said he's interested in making content "that feels
right," including trying to put together another animated series
that would appeal to children, saying that "It's important to me to
find a way to go back and reach younger kids in a way that Trek
should and never really has."
There's also the upcoming series Picard later this year, which will
take a very different perspective on things while exploring the
power vacuum left after Romulus was destroyed - as well as how it
affected the eponymous former Starfleet Captain himself.
Meanwhile, Star Trek: Discovery, which re-launched the franchise for
the small screen, will return to CBS All Access for Season 2 on
January 17, 2019.
