JUNE 8, 2022 - Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will be receiving the Legacy Award at the 2022 Hollywood Critics Association Television Awards on August 14th, as part of a two-day awards ceremony. Announced late last week, this honorary award will be presented to the cast and crew of the series in recognition of their innovative, yet faithful, representation of the franchise.

Strange New Worlds is the newest Star Trek series and has been met with an outpouring of love and support from fans and critics alike. “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is the perfect show for our Legacy Award because it encapsulates everything that this award stands for,” said HCA Vice President, Nestor Bentancor. “The HCA Legacy Award celebrates a show that has taken a beloved property and, without relying solely on nostalgia, has been able to pay respectful tribute to the past while modernizing it in a fun and meaningful way, delighting original fans and a newer generation of devotees.”

Three additional honorary awards will be presented throughout the weekend. Writer and actress Quinta Brunson will be receiving this year’s TV Breakout Star Award. As We See It actors Sue Ann Pien, Rick Glassman, and Albert Rutecki, as well as series creator Jason Katims, will be accepting the Spotlight Award on behalf of the series. Finally, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul actor Giancarlo Esposito will be on hand to accept HCA’s TV Icon Award.

The ceremony will take place on two separate days, August 13 and 14. Events on the 13th will be centered around broadcast television. Awards on the 14th will be presented for streaming productions. For more information, visit hollywoodcriticsassociation.com.
