Kevin and Dan Hageman (Trollhunters, Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu) will be talking the helm on this series, along with Eye Animation Productions (CBS’ new animation arm), Secret Hideout, and Roddenberry Entertainment. Executive Vice President of Animation Production and Developement at Nickelodeon Ramsey Naito will oversee the show.
“Star Trek, Nickelodeon, and the state of animation are doing incredibly ambitious things as of late. We couldn’t be more excited to jump aboard,” the Hagemans said in a statement to Variety.
Alex Kurtzman, the overseer of all things Trek for CBS TV (for at least the next 5 years), said:
“Star Trek’s mission is to inspire generations of dreamers to build a brighter future. Dan and Kevin have crafted a story that honors its exploratory spirit in a way that’s never been done before, while the Nickelodeon team blew us away with their excitement at bringing Trek to a younger generation around the world.”
Star Trek: Below Decks was given a two-season order by CBS All Access, and is reportedly in development now.
