Here’s a TrekMovie exclusive that lives up to the hype.
Strange New Worlds co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers has revealed/confirmed that the show’s bridge and other sets at CBS Stages in Mississauga have remained intact pending decisions by the new Paramount owners on the Year One continuation into the 1701’s first missions under Captain James T. Kirk.
“That makes this the big decision for them, because, it’s about, do you hold on to the sets, currently? As I said, they have not been destroyed, so we’re waiting to find out what they want to do.”
So, while Paul Wesley has already committed to season three of AppleTV’s historical romance offering The Buccaneers, it seems that a continuation of the Enterprise’s early years is still a live possibility.
The SNW co-showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers have been chatting up this idea for almost a year it seems.
The announcement that Thomas Jane was cast as McCoy, and appears in the SNW series finale at the end of season five, suggests that, unlike Matalas’ Legacy concept, there was some series buy-in at senior levels prior to the merger.
