'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Sets Release Date as Stephen Colbert
Joins Series, 'Strange New Worlds' Season 4 Drops First-Look Clip
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" has set its premiere date on
Paramount+.
The new series will debut with its first two episodes on Jan. 15,
2026, with new episodes dropping weekly thereafter through March 12.
The announcement was made during the "Star Trek" Universe panel at
New York Comic-Con on Saturday.
In addition, it was revealed during the panel that Stephen Colbert
is officially part of the show - at least, his voice is. Colbert
will voice Starfleet Academy's Digital Dean of Students, giving
daily announcements to the students and alerting them of anything
that needs their immediate attention.
