Nickelodeon Assembles Writing Team for New Animated 'Star Trek' Series

Originally published: Wednesday, July 31, 2019.

Producers Dan and Kevin Hageman have revealed the writers joining Nickelodeon's upcoming animated Star Trek series!


On Twitter, the Hageman’s tweeted, “Every ship needs a crew. Welcome aboard! We are proud to announce our very talented Writers’ Room for @Nickelodeon‘s untitled @StarTrek animated show.”

The show’s writers’ room includes Julie and Shawna Benson, former writers of Green Arrow and Batgirl & the Birds of Prey for DC Comics, and executive story editors on The 100; Chad Quandt and Aaron Waltke, whose credits include Trollhunters, Unikitty and Teen Titans Go!; Erin McNamara; Keith Sweet; Lisa Boyd (The Last Airbender); Diandra Pendle-Thompson; and Nikhil Jayaram.

The team assembled for a group photo at Nickelodeon. Take a look below.


It wasn’t specified, but the likely showrunner for the new toon is animation veteran Aaron Waltke, who has worked as showrunner for the Hageman brothers on Trollhunters. Waltke took to Twitter after the announcement to share his first memory, watching Star Trek: The Next Generation with his father. He also expressed excitement to “explore strange new worlds” with the new show.


Chad Quant, another Trolhunters veteran and former host of the Emmy-winning educational kids show The Friday Zone, shared how “stoked” he was to be on the show:


Also jumping in to share their excitement about being part of the show are sisters and TV and DC Comics writers, Julie and Shawna Benson who are jumping over from live-action, recently working on The 100. The pair talked up how the writers’ room has already been hard at work.


Other writers expressed giddiness to finally share how they have been given the opportunity to work on Star Trek.


Debuting exclusively on Nickelodeon, the series expands the “Star Trek” universe for a new generation of fans. The new original CG-animated series follows a group of lawless teens who discover a derelict Starfleet ship and use it to search for adventure, meaning and salvation.

The series will be from CBS’ Eye Animation Productions, CBS Television Studios’ new animation arm; Secret Hideout; and Roddenberry Entertainment. Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Katie Krentz, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth will serve as executive producers alongside Kevin and Dan Hageman. Aaron Baiers will serve as a co-executive producer.

Star Trek producer Alex Kurtzman recently offered an update on the upcoming animated series. "The Hageman brothers are doing [an animated] show for Nickelodeon, and that will be entirely different from Lower Decks," Kurtzman said. "I won’t announce the name of the Nickelodeon show, but that’s a really different show. That’s a show that’s for kids, younger. Full CG animation. It’s going to be incredibly cinematic. We just started seeing [storyboards] this week. It looks like, wow. It’s on par with Love, Death, and Robots in terms of beauty and lighting and cinema, so it’s a really different feel, and Nickelodeon has been wildly supportive and I think very excited to bring a new energy to TV, you know, in animation.

"Animation is in an incredible, glorious renaissance right now." Kurtzman continued. "Between [Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse] which just blew everything open and everything Pixar’s been doing for so very long, I think what I’m excited about in the world of animation is to try all these different things to see what feels Trek."

Star Trek, Nickelodeon, and the state of animation are doing incredibly ambitious things as of late. We couldn’t be more excited to jump aboard,” the Hagemans said in a statement when the series was greenlit.

Star Trek’s mission is to inspire generations of dreamers to build a brighter future. Dan and Kevin have crafted a story that honors its exploratory spirit in a way that’s never been done before, while the Nickelodeon team blew us away with their excitement at bringing Trek to a younger generation around the world.”

The series is being developed Emmy Award-winning brothers the Hagemans, who have written and produced some of the biggest animated franchises in film and television. They served as co-executive producers on the Emmy Award-winning series Trollhunters, co-created the hit The LEGO Movie, wrote and executive produced LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu and developed the theatrical The Lego Ninjago Movie. Additional credits include Hotel Transylvania (story creators) and The Croods 2 (writers), along with the upcoming live-action feature Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (writers). Studios involved include CBS’ new animation arm Eye Animation Productions, Alex Kurtzman’s Secret Hideout, and Roddenberry Entertainment. The series is being overseen by Ramsey Naito, Nickelodeon’s Executive Vice President (EVP) of Production and Development. Claudia Spinelli, VP Animation Development, Nickelodeon, is the executive in charge of the new animated Star Trek series for Nickelodeon.

The animated series is the newest addition to the expanding Star Trek television universe. It joins Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Short Treks, a series of short stories tied to Discovery; the new Star Trek: Picard series featuring Sir Patrick Stewart (American Dad) reprising his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard; Star Trek: Lower Decks from Mike McMahan (Rick and Morty), an animated series targeted at mature audiences; and a new Star Trek project based on Section 31, which is in development with Michelle Yeoh attached to star. All these projects, except the new Nickelodeon edition, are on the CBS streaming platform CBS All Access in the U.S.

The new Star Trek series is the third animated series from CBS Television Studios, following Star Trek: Lower Decks for CBS All Access and Our Cartoon President for SHOWTIME.

Are you excited about the new animated Star Trek show? Let us know in the comments.

Update (8/12): Star Trek is seeing a renaissance thanks to CBS All Access but fans have been wondering how they’re keeping everything straight between the shows and existing canon. While some might argue that Star Trek: Discovery didn’t do a great job at keeping canon with the previous series, co-showrunner Michelle Paradise has opened up as to how they’re keeping things straight with the upcoming shows.

It isn’t just Star Trek: Discovery that they have to factor in as they also are juggling Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Lower Decks, the Short Treks, as well as the Nickelodeon animated series, and recently announced untitled Section 31 show.

As to how Paradise, Alex Kurtzman, and the rest of the creatives are keeping things organized, she shared that:

“I would say every iteration of Star Trek we want to be aware of and we want to honor. It’s important to us to do that. Alex [Kurtzman], as he works on that and works on our show, he lets us know if there’s anything that we need to be aware of in terms of history… We’re also aware that all of the iterations of Star Trek, so we really want to make sure that we’re not doing anything in [Discovery] that directly contradicts something that we’ve seen established or that is being established on another spin-off.”

It seems that there is open communication as to what the franchise has planned moving forward. This may mean that we can see events from each of these shows be partially reflected in one another or, at the very least, mentioned in between the shows.

Are you glad that the creative branches of the Star Trek franchise are communicating for the upcoming shows which they have in production? Do you feel that they’ll do a better job moving forward at keeping with canon and hopefully not have to do any other retcons or playing around with time travel or mirror universes to make their stories work? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Update (8/15) - Julie Benson, a co-producer on the Untitled Star Trek Animated Series for Nickelodeon, will be a panelist at the 26th annual Austin Film Festival & Writers Conference in October.

From Stevivor:

Two more live-action Star Trek TV shows in production

"There are two more live action shows that haven’t been announced yet."
Two unannounced live-action Star Trek TV shows are in production, franchise head Alex Kurtzman has confirmed.

“There are two more live action shows that haven’t been announced yet,” Kurtzman told assembled reporters on the press junket for Star Trek: Picard, as reported by Trek Core.

The two shows are in addition to those already airing or announced, including Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard and a Section 31 show starring Michelle Yeoh. Those shows are in addition to two animated series, Star Trek: Lower Decks and an unnamed show being made for Nickelodeon.

“We’ve started working on Season 2 [of Picard], and we have a really excellent story, I think — and a very surprising one. But I think it’s really important for us to take it piece by piece. Part of this, too, is getting reactions from people,” Kurtzman said ahead of Star Trek: Picard‘s debut on 24 January.

“Before we lock things, down it’s terribly important to listen to fans, and hear what they like — and what they didn’t respond to — or what wasn’t clear, and make sure we’re tacking accordingly. I learned when I started working in the ‘Star Trek’ world that that’s a really essential part of making these shows.”

“[Section 31 is] in active development. So that’s obviously a huge priority; Michelle [Yeoh’s] character [Georgiou] is so unique, and you’ve never seen that before. Again, it has to fall under the guise of, ‘is this [show] a unique space we haven’t explored yet?’,” Secret Hideout’s Heather Kadin added.

“And then also, the animated shows [Lower Decks and the untitled Nickelodeon project] are also really going to provide that too. For someone like me, who gets to work on these shows — and then two nights a week, go watch a cut of Lower Decks — it’s a blast.”

While it’s unclear what the two new live-action shows could be, we’re willing to be one of them will star Anson Mount as Enterprise Captain, Christopher Pike. Do you have any guesses to what Secret Hideout and CBS are cooking up?

Star Trek: Picard heads to CBS All Access on 23 January, followed by Amazon Prime Video on 24 January. Star Trek: Discovery returns for its third season later this year and airs on CBS All Access and Netflix.

From ScreenRant:

Ninja Turtles' SHREDDER is The New Green Power Ranger

The Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles have joined forces in a comic crossover, but Shredder will be taking on both - as the NEW Green Ranger!

Warning: SPOILERS for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2

If any fans have been missing out on the comic book crossover Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it is officially time to jump on board. Because Tommy Oliver has finally given up the role of the most powerful Green Ranger... to Shredder. Yes, really.

The five-issue limited series event is the result of an alliance between IDW, BOOM! and Nickelodeon, specifically intended to give fans of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a crossover for the ages. One which has seen both teams of martial artists compare fighting styles -- first as enemies, and now as allies. The story so far has centered on Tommy Oliver joining the Foot Clan without informing his friends, but the true bombshells have now been dropped. Not only why Tommy attempted to infiltrate and manipulate Shredder, but how the dark villain hatched his own plan to strip Tommy of his power.

The creative team of Ryan Parrott (Power Rangers: Necessary Evil) and Simone di Meo (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) has delivered on expectations from the first issue, giving fans of both teams more than they could've hoped for. But as the heroes have put aside their weapons to uncover the real dangers taking shape, the villains have met, as well. And proving he's as dangerous for his mind as his muscles and martial arts, Shredder has unlocked the secret of Tommy's Power Coin. With Rita Repulsa knocking on his door, Shredder's timing (and appearance) couldn't be better.


The miniseries began innocently enough, following the Turtles as they responded to what seemed like an ordinary attack by the Foot Clan. The only thing different was the masked, long-haired, incredibly dangerous ninja leading them on their mission to steal a cutting-edge power cell. That ninja would eventually be ambushed by the Turtles, forcing him to reveal himself as Tommy Oliver, and activate his Power Coin to morph into his Green Ranger form. The other Rangers weren't far behind, but Tommy refused to fill anyone in on his mission. Thankfully, the readers soon learn the truth: Tommy has gone undercover among the Foot, seeking to save a boy named Tyler, who has been indoctrinated. The bad news? Tyler is so indoctrinated, he knocks Tommy unconscious to prove his own loyalty to Master Shredder.

Waking up in a cage -- and failing to realize that Shredder is hoping he will demonstrate how to activate his Power Coin -- Tommy transforms, before being blasted back into unconsciousness. Taking the Power Coin, presumably adding the Power Cell now in his possession, and facing a new, arrogant enemy in Rita Repulsa, Shredder does the only thing that makes sense. Tommy Oliver may need to find a new calling when (or if) Shredder sets him free. Because as of today, there is a new Green Ranger in town:


How will the Ninja Turtles and the Power Rangers take on the combined forces of Shredder, the Foot Clan, and Rita Repulsa? Will her hunger for power mean Rita sets his armies upon Shredder, as opposed to the heroes? Which option has a better chance to preventing the end of the world? These questions and more will be answered when Issue #3 arrives. But for now fans won't want to waste another minute before catching up, in which case the credits and plot synopsis for the next issue can be found below:

Andamiro Unveils 'Krabby Patty Party', A New 'SpongeBob'-Themed ‘Whacker’ Game For Arcades

Andamiro Unveils SpongeBob-Themed ‘Whacker’ Game For Arcades


THE MORE, THE MERRIER: Andamiro’s new Krabby Patty Party “whacker,” available in ticket redemption and non-ticket amusement-only versions, is offered in (from left) one-, two- and four-player cabinet configurations. The multi-station assemblies include larger eye-catching umbrella marquees.

GARDENA, CA -- Andamiro has announced the introduction of Krabby Patty Party, a “whacker” game that invites players to take on the role of SpongeBob SquarePants as the short-order cook in the Krusty Krab restaurant. Hand-and-eye coordination are challenged as the player endeavors to serve as many patties as possible to the denizens of Bikini Bottom. A patty is served by whacking it with a spatula.

Krabby Patty Party is the successor to Order Up, Andamiro’s first whacker game, which was introduced in 2017. Both are based on Nickelodeon’s long-running SpongeBob SquarePants animated TV show, which is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary, and both offer classic mallet-game play. The mallet in this case is SpongeBob’s spatula; the pop-up targets are Krabby Patties, which emerge at random from six positions on the playfield. A player who successfully completes a series of five whacking combos wins more tickets and enters the “rapid whack” stage, in which even more tickets can be won.

Krabby Patty Party is Andamiro’s fifth SpongeBob title and the sixth game in our Nickelodeon family,” said Andamiro USA president Drew Maniscalco. “We’re committed to continuing our support for the classic mallet category and very excited about strengthening our relationship with Nickelodeon. Together, Andamiro and Nickelodeon are delivering best-in-class arcade games and brand equity to the operator community.”

Last summer, Nickelodeon commemorated 20 years of SpongeBob SquarePants with the launch of the “Best Year Ever” tribute. SpongeBob launched July 17, 1999, and has reigned as the No. 1 kids’ animated series for almost two decades, inspiring a Tony award-winning Broadway musical which is now touring the U.S. and Canada, and major film releases. A new SpongeBob movie, Sponge On The Run, will open in theaters in May. A CG-animated prequel spin-off series, Kamp Koral, following 10-year-old SpongeBob SquarePants during his summer at sleepaway camp, is also slated to premiere during Summer 2020.

Andamiro’s Krabby Patty Party is available as a ticket redemption game or non-ticket amusement-only device. It can be purchased in one-, two- and four-player cabinet configurations; the multi-station options include enhanced marquees and can be ordered with different character graphics for each station. A single unit measures 29.1” W. x 35” D. x 62.9” H. (68.1” H. with the topper).

According to the manufacturer, Krabby Patty Party not only features Andamiro quality, but also the lowest price tag in its category, with an operator cost 20% to 35% less than competing whacker games.

It boasts Bikini Bottom cabinet graphics, lively music and SpongeBob’s vocal interjections. Gameplay and ticket redemption features are operator-adjustable.

Krabby Patty Party is sold through Andamiro distributors and will begin shipping in mid-January. Information may be requested by emailing to sales@andamirousa.com.

Andamiro Co. Ltd. designs and manufactures ticket redemption amusements, prize merchandisers, and sports and videogames, along with the world-famous Pump It Up music and dance simulator line. Andamiro was founded in 1992 in South Korea and maintains offices, development studios and manufacturing plants in Seoul’s high-tech area. Andamiro USA Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Andamiro, was established in 2000 in southern California. Andamiro has brought to market more than 100 amusement machine titles that operate in a variety of entertainment destinations. The MLB Players Association, NFL Players Inc., Nickelodeon (ViacomCBS), Universal Studios, The Walt Disney Co. and World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. are among Andamiro’s licensing partners. The company is online at http://www.andamiro.com/en.

Krabby Patty Party is the latest title in Andamiro's Nickelodeon line of games, which also includes SpongeBob Soccer Stars, PAW Patrol, SpongeBob: Order Up and SpongeBob Pineapple Arcade.

Nickelodeon France to Premiere 'Just Add Magic' on Monday 3rd February 2020

Nickelodeon France will be adding some sparkle to the recipe with Just Add Magic, premiering Monday 3rd February 2020 at 18h50! In the spellbinding new U.S. live-action family television series, three best friends discover a magical cookbook that helps them uncover mysteries that span generations. Following its debut, Nickelodeon will serve up extra helpings with new episodes airing weekdays at 18h50. The series is locally titled La Magie en Plus in France.


The news follows Nickelodeon UK & Ireland starting to air Just Add Magic on November 2019.

In Just Add Magic, Kelly Quinn and her two BFF's, Darbie and Hannah, stumble upon her grandmother's mysterious cookbook in the attic and discover some far from ordinary recipes. When the Shut'em Up Shortcake silences Kelly's pesky little brother and the Healing Hazelnut Tart heals Darbie's ankle, the girls discover they have the power of magic.

In the lively town of Saffron Falls, teenage girls Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah are best friends who love cooking. While making a cake for Kelly's grandma's (who has a mysterious illness and cannot talk) birthday, the girls use a magical recipe using an ancient cookbook that they found in the attic. The recipes they find inside have strange names like "Shut'em Up Shortcake" and "Hazelnut Healing Tart" and require unusual ingredients, such as "Cedronian vanilla" and "Taurian thyme". The girls go to Mama P.’s shop to get the ingredients for the “Shut ‘em Up Shortcake” and when no one has any idea what they need, Mama P. reveals that she knows what the ingredients are, and she gives them the Cedronian Vanilla. They bake the cake, but when Kelly's brother Buddy and Hannah eat a bite of the shortcake and find themselves unable to talk, the three friends realise they are dealing with magic spells. At the same time as Hannah and Buddy's silence, Darbie cannot stop talking. Because of this, they also realise the spells come with a consequence.


Throughout season one, Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah investigate the magical recipes and face the temptations of using magic to help overcome the everyday challenges of being middle school girls. They conclude that Mama P. knows about the magic because she appears to have extensive knowledge of magical ingredients. Furthermore, they discover that the creepy neighbour Ms. Silvers also has a connection to magic after she warns them to stay away from it, telling them that it is dangerous. The girls realise that they are the protectors of the magical cookbook and that there were many others before them, three of whom were Mama P., Ms. Silvers and Kelly's grandma Becky. Among all this, Kelly has one overriding goal: to find the magical recipe that will fix her grandmother's mysterious illness, even if it means crossing creepy Mama P. or scary Ms. Silvers. As the girls work together they find out that Kelly's grandma Becky is under a curse, and so are Mama P. (whose curse does not let her leave Saffron Falls) and Ms. Silvers (whose curse does not let her play the piano in public). The girls, while trying to free Grandma Quinn of her curse, uncover various mysteries of the past.


Just Add Magic stars: Olivia Sanabia (Nicky, Ricky, Dicky et Dawn, Sam et Cat, Coop and Cami Ask the World) as Kelly Quinn, Abby Donnelly (JoJo's Juice, Malibu Rescue) as Darbie, Aubrey K. Miller (Sam & Cat, The Fresh Beat Band, Nicky, Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, Fresh Off the Boat) as Hannah, Judah Bellamy as Jake, Catia Ojeda (La malédiction du temple Maya, Malibu Rescue) as Terri Quinn, Dee Wallace (The Twilight Zone, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial) as Grandma, Amy Hill (La Legende De Korra, Kung Fu Panda: l’incroyable légende, The Wild Thornberrys: The Origin of Donnie, American Dad!, Mom, Black-ish, King of the Hill, Max Keeble's Big Move) as Mama P, Andrew Burlinson (Parks and Recreation, Shear the Sheep) as Scott Quinn, Ellen Karsten as Ms. Silvers, Aiden Lovekamp (Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension) as Buddy Quinn, Zach Callison (Henry Danger, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Pizza Friday!, The Legend of Korra, The Goldbergs, Steven Universe, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? as Chuck, Laya DeLeon Hayes (Game Shakers, Santa Hunters, Les Thundermans, Hey Arnold !: Mission Jungle - Le film, Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, Mutt & Stuff) as Piper, and Tess Paras as Erin.

Just Add Magic (51 x 30-minute (approx) episodes over three seasons) made its debut on Amazon Video in January 2016. Amazon Studios renewed the series for a second season in June 2016 after it "set a record as the most successful Amazon Original Kids premiere weekend in terms of U.S. Prime Video streams and hours." Prior to the series, a pilot for the show was produced in 2015. The series is based on Cindy Callaghan’s YA book and adapted by Joanna Lewis & Kristine Songco (Sullivan & Son). The single-camera live-action pilot was directed by Joe Nussbaum (George Lucas In Love).

Just Add Magic is produced by Amazon Studios, Pictures in a Row (Picrow; The Marvelous Mrs Maisel) and Grasshopper Lane Entertainment.

Nickelodeon Arabia (جَزِيرَةُ الْعَرَب) premiered All New All That, a revival of the Nickelodeon's iconic '90s sketch series featuring a talented and diverse group of comedians who reflect the spirit and humor of today’s generation of kids, on Sunday 12th January 2020 at 17:24 KCA and 18:24 UAE!

Ranging in age from 12-15, each new All That cast member brings their own unique comedic skill to the show, from impressions of today’s biggest celebrities, to original characters inspired by their lives, to physical comedy sketches, revitalizing the series for today's audience. New original comedic sketches include “Cancelled with Nathan,” Bed, Bath & Beyoncé” and “Marie Kiddo.” Executive produced by original cast members Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, All That will air regularly on Nickelodeon جَزِيرَةُ الْعَرَب. The series is locally titled اول ذات in Arabia.


The new Kids of Comedy are:

· Ryan Alessi – Born and raised in Chicago, Ryan Alessi, 14, began studying improv comedy at age eight with The Second City Improvisational Comedy Troupe. After moving to Los Angeles, he started studying with The Groundlings and developing his own characters and performing various impressions and accents.

· Reece Caddell – A Denver native, Reece Caddell, 12, started acting at the age of five and began performing sketch comedy when she started a YouTube channel with her two older sisters.

· Aria Brooks – Joining the cast for the second half of the new season will be Aria Brooks from Atlanta, Georgia. Brooks’ career is on the rise. She plays a younger version of Harriet Tubman in the upcoming film Harriet and will be featured in Netflix’s Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings anthology.

In the series premiere, the new All That cast will be joined by original All That cast members Kel Mitchell, Lori Beth Denberg and Josh Server, who impart advice and words of wisdom to help the new cast sharpen their comedic skills. The episode will also feature a performance by Grammy®-nominated multiplatinum powerhouse trio Jonas Brothers of their smash hit “Sucker.”

Shot in front of a live studio audience, this season of All That will see beloved roles are reprised in some of the series’ most memorable sketches including Mitchell as Good Burger's "Ed"; and Denberg as “Ms. Hushbaum,” the hypocritical “Loud Librarian.”

The season will also feature musical performances from today’s hottest artists, including JoJo Siwa, Young Dylan, Ciara, H.E.R., Ella Mai, Ally Brooke, Kane Brown, Bryce Vine, Daddy Yankee and CNCO, with surprise guests from the worlds of TV, film, comedy and more.

The series also features a appearance from Alisa Reyes, who, along with Mitchell, Thompson, Denberg and Server, helped make the original series a ‘90s icon for an entire generation of kids.
