10 Worst Star Trek Moments In 2025
2. [Insert Audience Groan Here]
It is, of course, that time of year again where we bemoan the lack of Star Trek: Legacy, which at this point feels farther than ever from being greenlit. The upcoming debut of Starfleet Academy, combined with the news of Strange New Worlds' ending with no confirmed sequel series in sight, feels as though this era of Trek may be coming to an end.
That is not to say that Starfleet Academy won't blow everyone out of the water (more on this in the next entry), but this remains an uncertain time for Star Trek's future. Confirming development on Legacy would go quite a long way toward allaying fears, even if there were other plans in the air.
The more time that passes (Star Trek: Picard came to an end almost three years ago) makes the arrival of Legacy, or a series following the adventures of Captain Seven and the crew of the Enterprise-G, less likely. Salaries, set construction, showrunning, writing - these things take time to figure out. At the time of writing, there could already be plans in the background, yet another year passes without any news, one way or the other.
Perhaps a statement confirming that it isn't happening would help, in its own way, like a splash of cold water. It may never have been on the cards, outside of a discussion that Jeri Ryan had with Paramount after Picard ended. If that is the case, then we are simply glum about another year without Star Trek: Legacy.
