Nice to see that "Lower Decks" is being given some panel time in the face of its impending doom.
I’m wondering if the cast appearances will include actors from S31 and Starfleet Academy, or just from Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds.
And I am wondering if we might see more casting news for Starfleet Academy ahead of SDCC.
Or at least some character names to go with the casting announcements we’ve already had. It would also be great to know what species some of these will be.
The full announcement says Omari Hardwick, Sam Richardson, and Kacey Rohl will be repping S31.
The Academy portion just lists Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau for now. I think a surprise guest isn't out of the question, but it's probably best to keep expectations low.
I'd actually love to see even some photos of the giant set they're reportedly building...
A separate "Prodigy" panel has been added to the SDCC schedule:
STAR TREK: PRODIGY PANEL
Sunday, July 28, 10:00-11:00 AM PT, Room 6DE
CBS Studios invites you to a special screening of a Season 2 episode of Star Trek: Prodigy, followed by an exclusive conversation with Star Trek legend and voice actor Kate Mulgrew, voice actor Brett Gray and executive producers Kevin & Dan Hageman to discuss the new season currently streaming on Netflix. Moderated by Ryan Britt, editor at Inverse, the panel will also include a special giveaway item.
