The show takes place a decade before Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS), which ran from 1966 to 1969.
It follows Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and the crew of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), a series of fictional starships in the Star Trek franchise, as they explore new worlds and carry out missions throughout the galaxy in the 23rd century.
Last month, Paramount+ announced that the production is set to end with a fifth season.
Series’ co-creator Akiva Goldsman explained that had it not been for the studio’s decision, it could have gone on forever.
However, the creatives behind the show will make sure that the prequel will catch up to the original series in a way that will satisfy the fans.
“We’ve got to reach TOS to fulfill the promise to the fans, which was ‘what happens to all these people? How do they start to become those characters we know, and what happens to the ones we don’t see in canon?’” Akiva said.
Meanwhile co-creator Henry Alonso Myers explained: “We spend a lot of time for each episode trying to think of what we can have the actors try and do that they haven’t got a chance to try before, so it doesn’t feel like they’re just showing up to do the same thing every week.”
