Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is making story progress. Star Trek boss Alex Kurtzman was speaking briefly at the beginning of the Comic-Con@Home panel yesterday, when moderator Dominic Patten asked him for a status update on the upcoming Pike/Spock/Number One series. He told the viewing audience what the team has been up to, and also revealed that they’ve been talking about it since before Comic-Con last year.

In the pre-recorded message, Kurtzman said, “Alright, so obviously we heard the fans. I really wanted to tell everybody about it last Comic-Con, people were poking around and asking questions, and we couldn’t say anything. But we were already having real, active conversations at that point.”

He continued with more details about the writers’ room. “The room has started,” he said. “There are 10 stories broken, which is very exciting, and they’re just sort of at the beginning, but it was one of those shows that I think everybody came in with such enthusiasm and so much love.”

That’s the extent of the Strange New Worlds news from Comic-Con@Home, but given the fan response so far, we’re sure to hear more about the series in the coming months.
