- Star Trek Scouts season 2 will premiere September 8 on Star Trek Day, announced by Paramount during its San Diego Comic-Con panel on Saturday.
- The show is the franchise's first preschool extension, following three 8-year-old friends — JR, Sprocket, and Ron — as they train to become future Starfleet Explorers.
- Season 1's finale featured the trio chasing pink Tribbles away from a Klingon farmer's corn crops before they ate the entire harvest.
- Nickelodeon Digital Studio develops and produces the series in association with CBS Studios.
- Season 1 is currently streaming on Nickelodeon's Blaze and the Monster Machines YouTube channel.
Why it matters: By launching the first preschool-targeted series in the franchise's 60-year history, Paramount is seeding Star Trek with viewers aged 8 and under — a generation that didn't grow up with Kirk or Picard. Anchoring the September 8 premiere to Star Trek Day, the franchise's annual fan holiday, gives a kid-skewing show a built-in promotional moment and a logical home on the calendar.
