“Star Trek” celebrated its 60th anniversary this month, marked by special theatrical screenings of four classic movies alongside “The Original Series” episodes that inspired them. Highlights included an orbital salute from the International Space Station and an attempt to break the world record for the most people performing the Vulcan salute simultaneously.
With the upcoming fifth and final season of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” and a sophomore return for “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy”—which faced an abrupt cancellation last season—there’s a noticeable lack of fresh “Star Trek” projects emerging. A new feature film is in early development, described as inspired by “Crimson Tide” and adding a unique twist.
On a positive note, a new “Star Trek” comic series, written by Christopher Cantwell and illustrated by Dennis Menheere, is set to launch on September 23, 2026. Titled “Star Trek #1,” it follows Seven of Nine exploring strange exoplanets filled with alien artifacts and civilizations, alongside a gripping space-based mystery.
The comic promises an engrossing narrative suitable for adaptation into a feature film, offering exciting new content for fans during a period with limited “Star Trek” on screens.
