Star Trek Day 2025 is bringing a surprise: It’s the release of an entirely new web series aimed at preschoolers.
Star Trek: Scouts
Star Trek: Scouts is a brand-new, original animated YouTube-first series that marks the “first preschool extension of the Star Trek franchise.” Here is the official logline:
Star Trek: Scouts follows three 8-year-old friends, JR, Sprocket and Roo, as they train to become future Starfleet explorers by going on epic, out-of-this-world missions that push them to “discover, grow and boldly go!”
Star Trek: Scouts will be released as twenty 3-4 minute long video episodes on Nickelodeon’s Blaze and the Monster Machines YouTube channel. The show was developed and produced by Nickelodeon Digital Studio in association with CBS Studios.
Here is the launch trailer.
