Star Trek: Decrease Decks is one in all many reveals ending in 2024 and past, however there are tentative plans to maintain comedy part of the franchise. It was introduced at SDCC that Tawny Newsome is creating an upcoming Trek present with Justin Simien that’ll be a live-action comedy. Little has been stated about it since, however Newsome’s newest replace sounds fairly constructive.
We do not know a ton about this sequence’ narrative, although we did study it entails two resort staff discovering their day-to-day lives are being broadcast to a whole quadrant of the galaxy. Newsome additionally instructed CinemaBlend she’d love for her Star Trek: Decrease Decks mates to seem, however the present must get the greenlight first. For extra on that entrance, here is what she stated about it to Collider lately:
All I can share with you is that we preserve writing it, and we preserve turning issues in, they usually preserve saying, ‘Please preserve writing.’ So, so long as they permit us to try this they usually do not say, ‘Cease. Shut your computer systems and go dwelling,’ we’ll proceed making it. And yeah, so long as they do not inform me, ‘Please shut your laptop computer and throw it within the sea,’ I’ll preserve engaged on it. It has been such a pleasure. I like Justin Simien with all my coronary heart. I can not wait to hopefully preserve doing it.
It nonetheless does not sound like there’s any assure that this present shall be greenlit, however the reality she’s being inspired to show in additional writing needs to be a constructive signal. That stated, it additionally seems like we’re a great distance out from seeing something from this present, which the upcoming slate of Trek reveals backs up. We all know that Star Trek: Part 31 will premiere within the new yr, and we anticipate to see Unusual New Worlds Season 3 on the 2025 TV schedule as properly.
Whereas Star Trek has featured comedic moments all all through its historical past, a live-action comedy sequence is new territory. One can not help however marvel if this concept was born from the Unusual New Worlds and Decrease Decks crossover, which introduced the over-the-top antics of the animated sequence to the opposite live-action.
It is an expertise Cinemablend realized was invaluable to members of the Unusual New Worlds crew, and it could be of nice profit to Tawny Newsome as properly. She spoke to us concerning the Mariner-isms she could not pull off within the crossover, and whereas she might look to Decrease Decks to see how comedy works for Star Trek., the live-action crossover might have proven her the constraints.
It is also price noting that Tawny Newsome is a member of the Starfleet Academy writing workers, so she’s coping with writing for that incredible forged as properly. Briefly, I do not suppose it is wild to imagine we’re at the least a few years out from seeing something from Star Trek’s live-action comedy. I might like to be flawed, although I do not suppose Newsome would be the one that spills the beans on something about this sequence.
Whereas she works on that live-action comedy, you’ll want to catch Tawny Newsome within the remaining season of Star Trek: Decrease Decks, which streams new episodes on Thursdays. With only some episodes remaining, make sure that to catch up and expertise the sequence finale with the remainder of the followers maintaining.
