Star Trek: Scouts is a brand-new animated series for preschoolers, and the first two episodes are now available!
It’s time for preschoolers to boldly go into the final frontier. To celebrate the major announcement of Star Trek‘s 60th anniversary, Paramount and Nickelodeon have unveiled a brand-new animated series titled Star Trek: Scouts. The 20-episode series follows the adventures of JR, Roo, and Sprocket as they train to become future Starfleet Explorers by going on epic, out-of-this-world missions. The eight-year-olds will encounter strange new worlds, discover, grow, and boldly go!
The series marks Paramount’s first attempt to aim a Star Trek show at the youngest generation. This series comprises twenty animated shorts, each with a running time of 3-4 minutes. But what can we expect from the bold new chapter in Trek history? Thankfully, Paramount has shared the first trailer for the series via subspace. So, open hailing frequencies and put it on screen!
