Comic-Con came and went without any casting news regarding the new Star Trek series helmed by Bryan Fuller.
Stay tuned to TrekNews.net for the latest news related to Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek Beyond. We’ll find out for sure when the show starts streaming in January on CBS All Access in the United States and then exclusively on Netflix for the rest of the world 24 hours after airing.
A teaser for Star Trek Discovery was revealed at the panel, which showed a ship labeled as the USS Discovery launching out to space.
In addition to his work on Star Wars, legendary concept designer Ralph McQuarrie also created Enterprise concept art for a Star Trek movie back in the 1970s.
Shatner was joined onstage for the panel by other actors in the “Star Trek” canon, including Scott Bakula Michael Dorn and Jeri Ryan.
Fans got particularly excited noting this because it means that the new series timeline will be at the same time as the original, as its later ships had five-digit numbers.

As a bigger surprise, it’s also been revealed that every episode of Star Trek – all 727, to be exact – will be available to stream through Netflix by the end of 2016. “Right now, we need a little help”.
