‘Star Trek’ animated comedy series ordered from ‘Rick and Morty’ writer

‘Star Trek’ animated comedy series ordered from ‘Rick and Morty’ writer:

The new project will bring to mind Fox’s The Orville, a dramedy from Family Guy‘s Seth MacFarlane which is clearly inspired by Trek.

The new show is the latest Trek project by the CBS All Access streaming service, which also has Star Trek: Discovery, which returns for its second season in January, and a new show with Patrick Stewart reprising his TNG character Jean-Luc Picard in the works.
