“Star Trek, Nickelodeon, and the state of animation are doing incredibly ambitious things as of late. We couldn’t be more excited to jump aboard,” Dan and Kevin Hageman said in a statement.
“Star Trek’s mission is to inspire generations of dreamers to build a brighter future,” Kurtzman said.
The currently untitled series will be the second animated project to expand the franchise, with a previous project titled Lower Decks from Rick and Morty head writer Mike McMahan currently in development and set for a release sometime in 2021.
“Dan and Kevin have crafted a story that honors its exploratory spirit in a way that’s never been done before, while the Nickelodeon team blew us away with their excitement at bringing Trek to a younger generation around the world.”
