Overview

• Star Trek: United is envisioned as a political thriller and family drama following Jonathan Archer’s tenure as president of the United Federation of Planets.
• Mike Sussman and Scott Bakula unveiled the pitch at Star Trek Las Vegas, highlighting a grounded tone inspired by Andor and a mix of new characters with select familiar faces.
• Paramount previously passed on the series during streaming budget cuts, and it remains ungreenlit under the current development slate.
• Creators are rallying fan enthusiasm from convention chatter to persuade new Paramount+ CEO David Ellison and the Skydance-Paramount leadership team to reopen formal talks.
• The concept stems from a canonical graphic in Enterprise that charted Archer’s rise to admiral and president and offers fertile ground in the century before Discovery.
