“Star Trek” Day Official Live Stream Delivers News, Updates, and More!

Today marks the 55th anniversary of the first airing of “Star Trek.” A tremendous day for science fiction and television history, to be sure. The powers that be (aka Paramount) hosted an hours-long event today in Los Angeles, CA to celebrate all things Trek.

The live stream has been amazingly wonderful, featuring panels, sneak peeks, surprise guests, and a live orchestra!

Some of the news blurbs from the event included release dates for all of the upcoming “Star Trek” series on Paramount+, which sees the return of “Star Trek: Discovery,” as well as debuts of all new series “Strange New Worlds,” and “Prodigy.”

“Star Trek: Strange New Worlds!” We just need to take a second to really gush about the fact that we’re gonna see some truly iconic characters. Celia Rose Gooding will be taking on the role of Lt. Uhura, originated by the one and only Nichelle Nichols. Jess Bush will be taking on the role of Nurse Christine Chapell, originated by Majel Barrett Roddenberry. Babs Olusanmokun will be taking on the role of Dr. M’Benga, originated by Booker Bradshaw.
