Article Summary
\nSonequa Martin-Green teases major crossover potential for Starfleet Academy and Discovery fans.
\nShowrunner Alex Kurtzman set Starfleet Academy in the Discovery era for crossover opportunities.
\nLt. Sylvia Tilly, Jett Reno, and Admiral Vance are confirmed to appear in Starfleet Academy.
\nMichael Burnham\u2019s unique Star Trek journey sets the stage for exciting new connections and stories. <\/p>\n

As the cast of Star Trek: Discovery was collectively disappointed not getting a season six, it spawned a few spinoffs along the way. First, following season two, we got Strange New Worlds to pick up The Original Series prequel story in the 23rd century, and now, the upcoming Starfleet Academy<\/a>, set in the 32nd century, where Discovery left off in 2024. What is already known is that a few of the crew of the USS Discovery plan to stick around in some form in guest appearances with Mary Wiseman’s Lt. Sylvia Tilly, who’s embracing her instructor role at the Academy. She’ll be joined by Tig Notaro’s Commander Jett Reno and the presiding Fleet Admiral of Starfleet, Charles Vance (Oded Fehr<\/a>). While promoting her latest police procedural series, Boston Blue, star Sonequa Martin-Green teased fans of the huge potential in what Starfleet Academy can bring in terms of crossover potential on top of its already stacked cast of new faces and Trek veterans, according to Matt Mitovich’s Inside Line<\/a> via TrekMovie.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nStar Trek: Discovery Star Sonequa Martin-Green Says Starfleet Academy Showrunner Alex Kurtzman Has Big Plans<\/p>\n

When responding to a fan question about a potential Captain Michael Burnham return, the Walking Dead alum teased, “‘Let me tell you something\u2014it would be so much fun. I’ll put it like that, and I will also say that Alex Kurtzman did it on purpose. He put SFA in the same timeline so that there would be the potential for crossovers. There’s a lot of opportunity there, and that’s exciting.” Martin-Green’s journey in Star Trek is unlike any other main character in that Michael started as a first officer\/science officer before getting court martialed, demoted to provisional status, restored to original rank, and promoted to captain. By the series finale in “Life, Itself,” we get a flashforward to see her promoted to admiral.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Garrett Wang’s Harry Kim could never get a break past ensign his entire run in Star Trek: Voyager until almost 30 years later with Lower Decks as the animated comedy finally addressed this grave injustice. Starfleet Academy, which also stars Holly Hunter, Sandro Rosta, Karim Dian\u00e9, Kerrice Brooks, George Hawkins. Bella Shepard, Zo\u00eb Steiner, Paul Giamatti, and featuring the return of Voyager alum Robert Picardo, premieres January 15, 2026, on Paramount+.<\/p>\n
