Prior to the Star Trek‘s Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Entertainment Weekly disclosed the first glimpse of Starfleet Academy, which is 800 years after The Next Generation. The sneak peeks show several characters that appear to be Klingon-like, including a cadet played by Karim DianĂ©, whose design seems more conventional than we first saw in Star Trek: Discovery. Additionally, Paul Giamatti’s character remains unnamed, but is currently depicted as a villain. Alex Kurtzman, the series co-creator, has hinted that “Klingon hybrid species” will play a crucial role in the narrative. Although hybridization isn’t new to Trek, with characters like Spock (half-human, half-Vulcan), B’Elanna Torres (Klingon-human), Worf and K’Ehleyr’s son Alexander being examples, one confirmed character now takes this concept into uncharted territory.
