Star Trek Beyond (July 22) is a little over two months away from release but you'd barely know it, Paramount have pushed through so little advertising that the red alert signal has been sounding for months across various websites as to why they are keeping so quiet on something they SHOULD be shoving down our throats around now.

Maybe their minds are on other things?

CBS, a subdivision of Paramount, revealed on Twitter earlier today that the new Star Trek TV series they are developing will start filming this fall in Toronto.

The new show, which was first announced last year, promises to reboot the Trek saga for the small screen, warping free from connection to the recent movies' alternative timeline.

This is obviously something Trek fans have lobbied for ever since Enterprise was cancelled from our tv screens in 2005.

Still untitled, the new Star Trek series will debut its first episode on CBS next year before airing the rest of the episodes exclusively on CBS All Access, a premium streaming service that will cost fans $5.99 a month.

Hannibal and Pushing Daises creator, and self-proclaimed Trek nerd (he got his big break as a writer scripting episodes for Deep Space Nine and Voyager), Bryan Fuller is exec producing the series along with franchise legend Nicholas Meyer (Wrath Of Khan, The Voyage Home, The Undiscovered Country) as consultant/sometimes writer.

Expect casting news and more story details to ramp up now filming dates are locked in. So far, all we have is this official logline to go off;

€œThe brand-new Star Trek will introduce new characters seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966.€
