When Star Trek: Starfleet Academy debuts, it will be unlike any previous Trek series ever. Then again, according to a new scoop from Trek legend Jonathan Frakes, there is one formula that the show might be borrowing that will remind fans of another series — Deep Space Nine.
As fans have known for quite sometime, Starfleet Academy will take place in the 32nd century, following the events of Star Trek: Discovery Season 5, and feature characters from that series including Sylvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman) and Jett Reno (Tig Notaro), who both, ironically or not, are actually from the 23rd century originally. A huge portion of the series is set to take place on Earth, at the titular academy, located in San Francisco. But, according to Frakes, there will be a starship taking the cadets away from Earth, boldly going... somewhere.
