NYCC Starfleet Academy confirmation (collider.com)

StarfleetAcademy ‘will be funny’ according to Alex Kurtzman.

He’s also confirmed at the NYCC panel today that the writer’s room is back at work after the WGA strike.

 Given the heavier #thriller background (Absentia) of one showrunner Gaia Violo, and youth supernatural CV (TheMagicians; NancyDrew) of Noga Landau the other, sounds as though Tawny Newsome is there to bring some lightness and fun. 

I’m really looking forward to seeing more in the 32nd century StarTrek. 

I’m also pleading 🙏 let David Cronenberg’s Kovich be involved.

I would love so much to have some of The Magicians mysterious vibe with so true humour mixed in. Glad to know that they’re going for something less earnest than the tone of Discovery for this show, it didn’t seem to be working in the Discovery episode with Tilly and the cadets.

Good news. Both that Starfleet Academy is greenlit, and that Tawny Newsome is one of the writers. The part of the DSC episode teasing a Starfleet Academy (DSC s4e4) came across to me as having an ABC Afterschool Special vibe. It didn't strike me as being sustainable as a series. But, with this new information, I'm curious and hopeful about Starfleet Academy. I'm also very happy that it will be set in the 32nd century. Making room for new characters and possibilities.

"I’m also pleading 🙏 let David Cronenberg’s Kovich be involved."

Yes! As well as Admiral Vance and Tilly as series regulars.
