Summary
- Becky Lynch debuts as a bridge crew member in Starfleet Academy.
- The new series premieres on Paramount+ on January 15th.
- Colm Meaney's character Miles O'Brien inspires Lynch's role.
Star Trek fans have a new reason to celebrate as the Starfleet Academy series is set to launch on January 15th, exclusively on Paramount+. The series is generating significant buzz, especially with the confirmed casting of WWE personality Becky Lynch. Lynch will make her debut in the 32nd century, stepping into the role of a bridge crew member.
Lynch's character dons a yellow uniform, a color associated with engineering in this era, and her performance may echo that of Colm Meaney's beloved Miles O'Brien. The actress herself noted Meaney, an Irish actor, as an influence, potentially bringing a familiar Grumpy engineer's spirit to her role.
The Starfleet Academy setting doubles as a starship in the 32nd century, hinting at a blend of academic and exploratory narratives. The return of Robert Picardo as the EMH from Voyager also suggests potential cameos and intriguing plotlines involving past Star Trek characters.
