After Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the next new series in the franchise is the future-tense show Starfleet Academy. Set after the events of Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 in the year 3191 (but before the show’s flash-forward coda) Starfleet Academy will follow a new batch of Starfleet hopefuls in a TV series that will be set both on Earth and naturally, out there in space, the final frontier.
Featuring the return of Tilly (Mary Wiseman) and Reno (Tig Notaro) from Discovery means that aesthetically, the show will likely carry with it the visual continuity from that era of Trek. And yet even between DISCO Season 3 in 2020 and Season 4 in 2021, Starfleet made its uniforms more colorful, and it appears that with Starfleet Academy the uniforms might get rebooted again. Recently, cast members of Starfleet Academy celebrated a wrap of production on the show, and in doing so, gave us a glimpse of what could be part of a new Starfleet uniform. No spoilers ahead.
