The first trailer for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has dropped. It was shown to close out Saturday’s Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con. It features the series’ lead character, Captain Nahla Ake, played by Holly Hunter, giving a speech to the first batch of new Starfleet recruits at the academy in San Francisco in a hundred and twenty years. During the speech, we see scenes of those new recruits and the instructors looking studious, inspired, and inspiring.
Ake doesn’t explain the 120-year gap in the trailer. Starfleet Academy is a direct spinoff of Star Trek: Discovery. In season three of Discovery, the plot revolved around an event known as “The Burn” which made warp drive and interstellar travel impossible. The crew of Discovery solved the problem, and now Starfleet and the Federation are trying to rebuild. Starfleet Academy promises to be key in that rebuilding effort.

There are plenty of Easter eggs for Trek fans in the trailer. Deep Space 9 fans will like that one of the classes is on the fate of Captain Benjamin Sisko, emissary of the prophets. There is a James T. Kirk pavilion. And there is a wall of names that appears to show that Voyager’s Harry Kim was eventually promoted, and Tawny Newsome, the voice actor for Becket Mariner on Lower Decks, was made admiral.
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will premiere early in 2026.
