13 Star Trek Pitches Out There (And Where They're At)

2. THE ANIMATED PITCH YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT!

You read right. 

There’s one more pitch that's even more overlooked by anyone not following Trek creator social channels. But amid the early hubbub over United in August 2025, Prodigy co-executive producer Aaron Waltke let slip he had a pitch of his own in an online comment thread that some of us picked up on. 

Now, Waltke is currently hard at work developing an Amazon Prime animated series based on the Wings of Fire children’s fantasy novels by Tui T. Sutherland, and he’s mum to share anything about any more Trek details in public until after he can get some meetings on it.

But he told me that for now, here, he'd call it Untitled Adult Animation Anthology Series or thereabouts. We’ll have to leave it there, unless you can entice him into some “sly allusions” for clues to it on his socials, when he takes a break from Wings to come up for air. 

Whatever the format, this sounds like a no-brainer— and especially when animation is used to present any time era, without the budget stress of period sets/costumes/props of live action.
