The Oscar-winning actress will play a character who "will serve as the captain and chancellor of the Academy, presiding over both the faculty and a new class of Starfleet cadets as they learn to navigate the galaxy in the 32nd century," according to Variety. Starfleet Academy is scheduled to begin shooting in Toronto later this summer, featuring the largest contiguous set ever constructed for a Star Trek series. “It feels like we’ve spent our entire lives watching Holly Hunter be a stone-cold genius,” said co-showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau. “To have her extraordinary authenticity, fearlessness, sense of humor, and across the board brilliance leading the charge on Starfleet Academy is a gift to all of us, and to the enduring legacy of ‘Star Trek.'” Star Trek: Starfleet Academy marks Hunter's first TV series regular role since Mr. Mayor was canceled in 2022.
