Star Trek TV series 2016: First trailer hints it won't centre around a single ship this time

The latest instalment of the cinematic Star Trek series, Star Trek Beyond, hits UK cinemas 22 July; with the new Star Trek TV series premiering in early 2017.

The new series comes courtesy of Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller, 2009’s Star Trek movie writer Alex Kurtzman, and Eugene Roddenberry, son of original Star Trek creator Gene.

It would be a fairly logical move for CBS here, considering the single-ship premise has already been launched to screens with the new movies, acting as a cinematic reboot of the original Star Trek series; indeed, it’s been reported the TV series won’t be crossing over with the films in any way.
