As they develop, they face budding friendships, intense rivalries, first loves, and a new enemy that threatens not only the Academy but the Federation itself.
The trailer offers a more extensive look at the first live-action drama series within the franchise focusing on young Starfleet members in their twenties. The footage shows more dramatic intensity than the previous teaser (which received mixed reactions online and was dubbed "TikTok Space Prom" by some).
In the new trailer, we see emotional and thrilling scenes, romantic intrigues between the cadets, and even a furious, alien Paul Giamatti as a recurring villain (see photo below).
