Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown is getting ready for warp speed with a new combat deep dive trailer, and they've announce a release for February 18th.

Giving you the chance to blast through the Delta Quadrant your own way, making choices that Captain Janeway never made, there's a lot of ways you can change your run through - and even end it rather early. Peace at all costs? Take over everything? The adventure this time is your own. Blending elements of strategy, resource management, exploration and more - it has all the makings to be a good one.

Kate Mulgrew is a Star Trek legend; in fact, her Captain Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager featured prominently in the latest trailer for Starfleet Academy, which incorporated famous moments from Trek history to connect the new show to what’s come before. Her last appearance in the franchise was as the star of the animated series Star Trek: Prodigy, which wrapped up last year on Netflix. There has been some talk in recent years of her returning to the role of Janeway one more time in live-action as well, so when we saw Mulgrew at the Starfleet Academy world premiere event in New York on Tuesday, we asked her about it.

They’re “still talking” about Janeway show

Way back at the end of 2024, Kate Mulgrew made some news at a convention when she revealed that Alex Kurtzman, the man running all of Star Trek TV for Paramount since 2017, had approached her about a return in live-action as Janeway. She said it didn’t feel right to her at the time and told the convention crowd: “I’m not sure it has all of the elements that I would need to have.”

The announcement of Robert Picardo returning to Star Trek as Voyager's Emergency Medical Hologram immediately brought about as much speculation as it did excitement. While it's since been confirmed that Picardo will be playing Voyager's "main" Doctor in Starfleet Academy, the show in which he originated the role accidentally made it possible for a compelling alternative. In Star Trek: Voyager Season 4, Episode 23, "Living Witness," Picardo played a version of the Doctor who had been extracted from his ship's backup module, which had been recovered on an alien world in the 31st century. He had been deactivated since the 24th century.

Near the end of "Living Witness," the episode's voiceover revealed that the Backup Doctor remained on the planet for a little while, but eventually set off to try and reach Earth, even though everyone aboard the USS Voyager would have been long dead by that point. If this version of Picardo's character did end up getting back to the human homeworld, his arrival would likely align fortuitously well with the 32nd century, when Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is set. So, with the "main" Doctor having served in Starfleet for centuries, the upcoming show could have the "Living Witness" version enter the fray, lacking almost all the memories and experiences of his counterpart, making them both very different characters.

Earlier this month we reported that apparel maker Hero Within was dropping their Star Trek license after focusing on Trek-themed jackets and more for most of the last decade. Now art print maker Retrospect Studios is following suit, also citing the increased licensing fees that have been imposed after the Skydance takeover of Paramount. However, some other makers of Star Trek products are letting fans know they are sticking with the franchise into 2026.

Retrospect says goodbye

Retrospect Studios is home to the work of artist Kavita Maharaj, who has been painting for three decades and more recently made a name for herself with portraits of Star Trek characters. Working with acrylic paint on canvass, Maharaj began with her “Spock Painting Series” in 2018, with prints of her paintings officially licensed by Paramount and sold throughout the world.
