Star Trek Day takes place on September 8th at 20:00 BST, 15:00 EST and 12:00 PT.
It’s a live event with panels on the latest shows from the Star Trek Universe, such as Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Discovery and many more.
The event is also giving us a behind-the-scenes look at some of the shows and announcements that are expected.
Star Trek: Lower Decks star Tawny Newsome will host the day alongside Paul F Tomkins, but how do you keep up to date?

Our Livestream will be stored here on the channel for you to watch back with, and we’ll be posting video breakdowns of any breaking Star Trek news like new trailers and more.
We’ll update you on that once we’ve got more information.
The event has a handful of panels taking place throughout the day!
Following the welcoming remarks, we’ve got the Star Trek: Picard panel. Sir Patrick Stewart will be joining series stars Jeri Ryan and Michelle Hurd.
Likely we’ll be learning more about the upcoming third season. It’s possible there will be some sort of announcement or reveal. I am hoping for a more direct trailer for the forthcoming season.
Season 3 of Picard has been leaking like a sieve recently, so perhaps telling fans more about what is coming up might help solve those issues. Just a thought!
Following Picard, we’ve got Star Trek: Discovery taking the spotlight. We know Season 5 is currently in active production and is scheduled to finish shooting in November.
As such, Wilson Cruz will be giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the set. We’ll also be running into some of the cast, including Sonqeua-Martin Green!
I'm hoping for The Dadmiral personally...
Star Trek: Lower Decks has recently returned with its third season. Therefore it’s only right the series gets its focus on Star Trek Day.
Noel Wells will join Tawny Newsome to talk about the third season and what fans can expect in the upcoming episodes. Don’t forget the third episode of season 3 will air this Thursday on Star Trek Day.
Now finally, we might be learning more about Star Trek: Prodigy. Many of us are awaiting the 10-episode second half of season one.
Especially now, we know Admiral Janeway is hunting the USS Protostar in search of Captain Chakotay. Series stars Kate Mulgrew and Brett Gray will beam down to discuss the show.
We’ve recently learned that Kate Mulgrew has had conversations with Star Trek Creatives about the idea of a Star Trek: Janeway series.
Head to TrekCentral.net to learn about that one and what it could mean for her character and the future of Star Trek Universe shows.
Captain Pike’s series of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is getting a focus on Star Trek Day. Sadly the captain himself is MIA during this, but his crew, including Rebecca Romjin, are beaming down to tesse what is ahead of the new Star Trek series.
Maybe a hint at Season 2?
Discovery’s Mary Chieffo will also join the celebrations, teaming up with Jackie Cox as presenters from the Star Trek Day red carpet in Los Angeles.
According to Paramount, The Ready Room’s Wil Wheaton will also be around somewhere, which we’re very much looking forward to.
One segment of Star Trek Day will be devoted to the legendary and now late Nichelle Nichols.
Nichelle sadly passed away this year, so it's only right that the day remembers her with a special tribute looking at her impact and influence.
This tribute will be streamed live along with the day's contents, so you don’t want to miss this one.
This year, Star Trek United Gives is back! This time around, the initiative will be supporting causes that honor the life and legacy of Nichelle Nichols.
The way this usually works is for every person who tweets using the hashtag, #StarTrekUnitedGives. Then Paramount will donate $1 to charities.
Therefore if you're reacting to the latest and breaking news this Thursday, make sure to use that hashtag. It’s free! You can even just share some gifs of Star Trek or a random episode though seriously, anything works.
So, what might we see from Star Trek Day? Apart from the usual panels and fun conversations, it is being teased that we should hear surprise announcements.
So what could these announcements be? I’m thinking we might be seeing a trailer for Star Trek: Picard Season 3.
Since the teaser at SDCC 2022, many are awaiting a full teaser trailer of what is going on in the upcoming third season.
We still don't know much about the plot, perhaps we should learn more about it!
We’ll likely learn more details about Star Trek: Prodigy.
The second half of season one is due in 2022, so likely straight after Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 3 finishes airing on Paramount+.
However, might we learn if the show is getting more than two seasons? I think it depends on how the first ten episodes have been perceived.
Now I’m not sure what else we could learn. With New York Comic Con taking place at the start of October, we may also be getting announcements there.
Star Trek typically beams down to NYCC, which means that any major announcements or reveals, like main trailers, will arrive at a Star Trek Universe panel then and there.
It does get more new eyes to be fair. Either way, we’re excited for what is coming up!
Star Trek Day takes place on September 8th at 20:00 BST, 15:00 EST and 12:00 PT.
