New Star Trek Movie Coming Sooner Than We Thought

Though the film has been in development for years, the January release date serves as a pleasant surprise for fans of the franchise, as general audiences have heard very little about the production process behind Star Trek: Section 31 since filming wrapped back in March.

With any luck, the film will see a great deal of success on the Paramount+ platform, and eventually pave the way for additional feature length Star Trek outings on the streamer. Though it isn’t getting a wide theatrical release, Star Trek: Section 31 is the first full-length film within the franchise to come out since 2016’s Star Trek Beyond, which starred Chris Pine, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, and Zachary Quinto.
