"Less than three years ago we were living in a golden age with five shows on the air, all with different styles and intended audiences. But the universe rapidly contracted, with Picard ending while four other shows were cut short. Strange New Worlds still has another two seasons left, sure, but even that final season got truncated. As it stands, there's only one project with a firm future right now, and that's a brand-new show, Starfleet Academy, premiering January 15 on Paramount+."
"Starfleet Academy takes place in the 32nd century, 900 years after the adventures of James T. Kirk and company, and it takes place at the titular academy, meaning its principal cast is a collection of teens representing the next generation of Starfleet officers. That focus on a younger cadre has led to fans online derisively calling the series "CW Trek" without seeing a single episode."
Star Trek contracted from a five-show golden age less than three years ago to a landscape with only one project holding a firm future. Starfleet Academy premieres January 15 on Paramount+ and is set in the 32nd century, 900 years after James T. Kirk's era. The principal cast consists of teen cadets training at the academy, representing the next generation of Starfleet officers. Elements from Discovery reappear, including sleek sets and plot threads about the Federation's collapse and the rebuilding of Federation and Starfleet. Some fans criticize the series for not being set in the 24th century and label it "CW Trek".
