      Report: New series will be set in the Prime universe, not the JJverse, and may be an anthology-style series

        Oh for crying out loud when will these studios realise setting their TV and Cinema productions in different universes doesn't work (IMHO).

          I'm inclined to disagree. TV and film accomplish different things, and what can be achieved in one is not easily done in the other. Only Marvel has truly been able to merge the two.

            I kind of love the idea of a heavily serialized Star Trek Anthology show, and its great to know that the new show will be in the Prime verse

            And i also disagree, i love how the arrowverse is separate from the new DC movie verse, only its a shame that its already had an impact within the arrowverse, ie killing certain characters to fit with the movie verse

              Re Bryan Fuller:

              Also, quite nice to see that DS9 is his favourite Trek series. That's promising.

              For the record, Fuller's Trek writing credits include:
              [snipping the best episodes of Voyager]
              So, yes, these really are some of the best episodes of Voyager.

                If this were an animated series or a live action show, you'd be sitting at the edge of your chair and emanating beads of sweat everywhere (of all the excitement watching that). And the Captain there is many times better than Madame Captain Janeway.

                  Big blockbuster movies, if they do it a certain way, have the luxury of raking in large amounts of money from Asian markets. Most of the time, these are China and India, but both are very sensitive.

                  Whereas a tv series on some obscure streaming site region-blocked to include only the 50 states of the U.S. has small chances of making it by way of ads and ratings. Unless its Netflix. Or unless it's simultaneously offered in other friendly markets.

                  I also thought of IPTV-based cable services in individual countries, but IPTV — which is like cable, but not quite like it — is really not that widespread in the world.

                    First teaser trailer!



                    So...a potential logo/title card (very pretty!), and a tagline which might? maybe? possibly? lend some credence to the anthology rumour: "New Crews. New Villains. New Heroes. New Worlds."

                    Still this is about as vague as you can get with a teaser

                      So what would we prefer? A post-Dominion War setting? A pre-TNG era? Parallel universe?

                        The end of the trailer said premiering on CBS and on all access CBS.....so that means it will also air on the regular network? Hope so, I already have Netflix and Amazon prime....can't justify another streaming service....

                          I am glad we are getting a new Star Trek TV series however there is 1 thing that annoys me about this, that is its going to be shown on CBS's own streaming site. Have anyone heard how us International fans are going to be able to watch it legally?? Or are we all going to have to find other means of watching it??

                            The trailer I linked--literally 3 posts up from yours (lol)--says CBS and CBS All Access. That would seem to imply it'll play on CBS as well.

                              International fans don't matter to the American market.

                              You'll have to wait until a station buys the rights to show the new series, or download it in less than legal ways. Or wait for the DVD's to arrive.
