The Television Academy’s award comes at a time where it feels like Star Trek’s ride is far from ending, as CBS is gearing up for another season of Star Trek: Discovery, a short-form series, and a new show featuring Patrick Stewart’s Jean Luc Picard.
Regardless of how all that shakes out, there’s no denying that Star Trek will boldly go into the future for the time being.
The award also comes at a time where things are looking far more uncertain in the franchise’s film universe, as William Shatner’s Captain Kirk successor Chris Pine may not be involved in the upcoming film.
Things aren’t all bad on the movie side, however, as Quentin Tarantino is set to do an apparently bonkers feature for the franchise at some point in the future.
