Akiva Goldsman Says Star Trek: Year One Is Unlikely

His account points to missing studio approval and torn-down production assets that complicate near-term TV plans for the franchise.

Overview

  • Goldsman told RadioTimes that he “doesn’t see” the Year One spinoff happening, a position reported by multiple outlets in mid-September 2026.
  • He said no studio has greenlit the project, many show sets have been dismantled or sold, and cast members have taken other jobs, which together make immediate production impractical.
  • Goldsman also said his personal involvement with Star Trek is over now, removing a principal creative force who had championed the pitch.
  • Year One was pitched last year as a continuation of Strange New Worlds that would follow Captain Kirk’s first year and reuse characters and assets introduced on that show.
  • The announcement comes as Strange New Worlds winds down and the wider Star Trek TV slate is unsettled, with Paramount reportedly focusing on a feature film and future TV plans still undeclared.
