       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 to Deep   
       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.
