Star Trek: Short Treks bo kratka spinoff serija s štirimi 10 do 15 minutnimi deli, so napovedali ustvarjalci serije Star Trek: Discovery na petkovi predstavitvi v sklopu Comic-Cona v San Diegu.
Ker 2. sezona »zamuja«
Prihod kratke spinoff serije bi lahko razumeli v luči premostitve zamude s Star Trek: Discovery. 2. sezona serije namreč ne bo luči sveta ugledala septembra, tako kot prva sezona, ampak šele januarja 2019. Pri CBS so zapisali takole:
Each short will be an opportunity for deeper storytelling and exploration of key characters and themes that fit into STAR TREK: DISCOVERY and the expanding “Star Trek” universe.
Rainn Wilson will return to play Harry Mudd in a short he will also direct, and Aldis Hodge will star in another as Craft, a man who finds himself the only human on board a deserted ship. Additional episodes include a deep dive into Saru’s (Doug Jones) backstory as the first Kelpien to join Starfleet, and Tilly’s (Mary Wiseman) journey aboard the U.S.S. Discovery and her friendship with an unlikely partner.
Star Trek: Short Treks bo, tako kot Star Trek: Discovery v ZDA dostopen prek CBS All Access, v ostalih državah sveta, tudi v Sloveniji, pa na Netflixu.
