the Star Trek Revival continues. We have Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard running on CBS All Access, with Star Trek: strange new worlds on my way.
But before anything like that, we’re getting Star Trek: under the covers, a lively show that takes us on a tour of space: “the funniest frontier” through the eyes of employees who work daily in the bowls of Federation ships, rather than superiors on the bridge. Have a look:

Dude had a Twitter account of what could have happened in a hypothetical eighth season of Star Trek: the next generation, an account that received so much attention that it became a book.

Star Trek executive producer of the franchise Alex Kurtzman. “It is just a very different tone. The key is to laugh with ‘Star Trek’ and not with ‘Star Trek’. And it will skew adults a little more. Yes, that’s what I thought after seeing the bare chair gag at the end there.
Star Trek: Low Covers starring Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, Noël Wells, Eugene Cordero, Dawnn Lewis, and Jerry O’Connell. The new episodes will be released every Thursday on CBS All Access, starting August 6.
