Next 'Star Trek' movie gets June 2023 release date

Source: Paramount Pictures

The last Star Trek movie came out five years ago. And it looks like Trekkies have to wait a couple more years for the next film. Paramount Pictures announced that an untitled movie from the franchise will come out on June 9, 2023. The studio hired Star Trek: Discovery writer Kalina Vazquez last month to write a film based on an idea of hers. We aren't sure if that's the same project coming out in two years. 

It isn't also clear if Paramount will stick to this announced date. The studio has attempted to make follow-ups to Star Trek: Beyond, but nothing has materialized so far. And we can't discount what effect COVID-19 might have. We're just hoping it comes out sooner rather than later.

'Star Trek: Picard' becomes Crave's most streamed series debut in history

CBS

Bell Media announced that the recently released Star Trek: Picard is the most-streamed debut on its Crave streaming service. The company counted total streams of the pilot episode in the week following its premiere on January 23. Crave gets a new episode of the show every Thursday night. Picard also airs on Thursday's on Bell's CTV Sci-Fi channel. 

Star Trek: Picard marks the return of Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard. It explores the fallout following the death of Data in Star Trek: Nemesis— which is also the last time Stewart appeared on a Star Trek project—as well as the destruction of Romulus in J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek movie. The show has already been renewed for a second season, giving fans more episodes to look forward to.

'Star Trek: Picard' is already renewed for Season 2 ahead of January premiere

CBS All Access

The first season of Star Trek: Picard isn't out, but CBS is willing to give the show another season already. The Hollywood Reporter noted that CBS hadn't made an official comment yet possibly because it's waiting to confirm the second season's showrunner. The first season's showrunner, novelist Michael Chabon, is reportedly looking to pass the show on to another creator as he plans to work on other projects. As the show's title suggests, Picard stars the iconic USS Enterprise captain played by Patrick Stewart, and it premieres on January 23 on CBS All Access.

In Canada, Bell Media owns exclusive rights to Picard, and it will be broadcasted on its CTV Sci-Fi channel in English and Z channel in French. The show will then be available on Bell's Crave streaming service the day after the broadcast.
