New Star Trek TV Show To Include
Major Deep Space Nine Easter Eggs & References
----------------------------------------------
Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau, the executive producers of an
upcoming Star Trek series, promised major easter eggs
referencing an iconic entry in the franchise, Star Trek:
Deep Space Nine (1993-1999). One of the highly anticipated
entries in the Star Trek universe, Star Trek: Starfleet
Academy, will predominantly take place in the 32nd century.
It will revolve around a new class of Starfleet cadets as
they train to become officers.
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy EPs promise Episode 5 will be a
'love letter' to Deep Space Nine
Kurtzman and Landau discussed Starfleet Academy in an
interview with TrekMovie at a press junket for the show.
Landau disclosed that episode 5 will be "essentially a love
letter" to Deep Space Nine.
"But I think, in the show itself, there's so many Easter eggs
to Trek," Landau said. "One of the ones that really stands
out to the fans is Harry Kim being an admiral on the Wall of
Heroes. Our atrium is named Sato Atrium. We have Uhura
Pavilion. We have so many honors to the people who came
before us. And episode 5 is essentially a love letter to?Deep
Space Nine."
Kurtzman added that if the viewer hasn't seen Deep Space Nine
before watching Starfleet Academy, the latter can serve as
"a wonderful introduction." He continued, "If you do know Deep
Space Nine, it's really meaningful. And that was the goal.
Yes, of course, if we don't make shows for a new generation,
and then the new generation after that, Trek is going to die,
right? Our goal is to keep it alive."
The cast of Starfleet Academy includes Holly Hunter as Nahla
Ake, Sandro Rosta as Caleb Mir, Zoe Steiner as Tarima Sadal,
Bella Shepard as Genesis Lythe, and Karim Diane as Jay-Den
Kraag. Additionally, Tig Notaro as Jett Reno, and Oded Fehr as
Charles Vance are also part of the cast.
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy premieres on Paramount+ on
January 15, 2026.
