Star Trek’s Next Show Gets A Disappointing Update As Launch Nears

A new installment of *Star Trek* is expected as early as January, but recent news about the cast has left some fans feeling let down. *Star Trek* is a hugely successful and long-running science fiction series, and it’s remained popular with recent shows like *Star Trek: Discovery*. The newest series, *Star Trek: Starfleet Academy*, is particularly exciting, as it will feature the return of several well-known actors.

Okay, so I was really excited about seeing more of Mary Wiseman as Tilly, and it’s a bit of a letdown. We knew she was going to be involved in the *Starfleet Academy* spin-off, but it’s not going to be the big role many of us hoped for. Apparently, Tilly’s part will be pretty limited – just a single episode as a guest star, according to Matt Mitovich. While fans were thrilled with her return and it felt like a natural continuation of her story, it seems like she won’t be a major player in the new series. It’s a shame, honestly, as I really enjoyed her character on *Discovery*.

Starfleet Academy Will Not Feature Tilly As Much As Expected

In his column, *Matt’s Inside Line*, Michael Ausiello quickly addressed questions about whether actress Alice Eve’s character would be featured in the new *Starfleet Academy* series. He confirmed she’ll appear in just one episode as a guest star. While fans were hoping for a more substantial role, this announcement at least clarifies her involvement and ends the rumors.

When Mary Wiseman was confirmed to return alongside other well-known *Star Trek* actors, many expected her to have a major role in *Starfleet Academy*, particularly since her character had already been shown as a teacher for new recruits on *Discovery*. However, she was missing from promotional photos and the trailer for *Star Trek: Starfleet Academy*, leading to concerns her part might be small. Despite Tilly seeming like a good fit for the series, she hasn’t been prominently featured in any advertising.

The news is likely upsetting for fans of the character. *Star Trek: Discovery* strongly suggested she would have a significant role in the new spin-off, and the early announcement of Wiseman’s involvement seemed to confirm this. Unfortunately, that doesn’t appear to be happening, and fans of Sylvia Tilly might be disappointed with her short appearance when *Star Trek: Starfleet Academy* is released.
