Star Trek: Legacy
During a recent interview with IndieWire, Jonathan Frakes stated he’s hopeful Paramount+ will commit to Star Trek: Legacy if the Section 31 movie and Starfleet Academy series are popular enough.
I certainly have hopes and thoughts. Updates? I don’t have, but I do know that the franchise is in great shape. I do know that this Starfleet Academy series is going to be an entirely different animal, and I think that the success of what I’m imagining, the success of Section 31, Michelle Yeoh’s movie, is only going to catapult us further into the future, and my hope, obviously is that we’ll find a place then to continue the Legacy story.
Dexter: Original Sin
TV Line reports James Martinez has been hired to play a younger Batista opposite Christina Milian as LaGuerta and Alex Shimizu as Masuka on Dexter: Original Sin. Additionally, Reno Wilson will play Bobby Watt, “a longtime partner and friend to Dexter’s adoptive father Harry Morgan.”
