Overview
- Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has been canceled after two seasons, with CBS Studios and Paramount+ confirming that the already filmed second season will still be released.
- Robert Picardo said on the D‑Con Chamber podcast that he pitched a direct sequel to Voyager’s “Living Witness” built around multiple versions of the Emergency Medical Hologram.
- Producers told Picardo the idea was suited for season 3, making it unlikely to happen on this show after the cancellation, and some reporters noted de‑aging effects could have posed a cost hurdle.
- Instead of revisiting “Living Witness,” season 1 tied back to Voyager’s “Real Life” to connect the Doctor with a Starfleet Academy cadet.
- “Living Witness” featured a long‑dormant backup of the Doctor set centuries later, which made the 32nd‑century setting a natural match, but there is no announced plan to realize the sequel elsewhere.
