    New Star Trek TV Show To Include
    Major Deep Space Nine Easter Eggs & References
    ----------------------------------------------
    Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau, the executive producers of an
    upcoming Star Trek series, promised major easter eggs
    referencing an iconic entry in the franchise, Star Trek:
    Deep Space Nine (1993-1999). One of the highly anticipated
    entries in the Star Trek universe, Star Trek: Starfleet
    Academy, will predominantly take place in the 32nd century.
    It will revolve around a new class of Starfleet cadets as
    they train to become officers.

    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy EPs promise Episode 5 will be a
    'love letter' to Deep Space Nine
    Kurtzman and Landau discussed Starfleet Academy in an
    interview with TrekMovie at a press junket for the show.
    Landau disclosed that episode 5 will be "essentially a love
    letter" to Deep Space Nine.

    "But I think, in the show itself, there's so many Easter eggs
    to Trek," Landau said. "One of the ones that really stands
    out to the fans is Harry Kim being an admiral on the Wall of
    Heroes. Our atrium is named Sato Atrium. We have Uhura
    Pavilion. We have so many honors to the people who came
    before us. And episode 5 is essentially a love letter toaDeep
    Space Nine."

    Kurtzman added that if the viewer hasn't seen Deep Space Nine
    before watching Starfleet Academy, the latter can serve as
    "a wonderful introduction." He continued, "If you do know Deep
    Space Nine, it's really meaningful. And that was the goal.
    Yes, of course, if we don't make shows for a new generation,
    and then the new generation after that, Trek is going to die,
    right? Our goal is to keep it alive."

    The cast of Starfleet Academy includes Holly Hunter as Nahla
    Ake, Sandro Rosta as Caleb Mir, Zoe Steiner as Tarima Sadal,
    Bella Shepard as Genesis Lythe, and Karim Diane as Jay-Den
    Kraag. Additionally, Tig Notaro as Jett Reno, and Oded Fehr as
    Charles Vance are also part of the cast.

    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy premieres on Paramount+ on
    January 15, 2026.

    I bet they forgotten that itrCOs not the real Harry Kim. Janeway got the real guy killed and replaced him with a duplicate.
