Meet the New Cadets
Kerrice Brooks: An actress and professional dancer who will make her feature film debut this year in “My Old Ass” produced by Margot Robbie and directed by Megan Park. She will also star in the 70s coming-of-age comedy, “Feeling Randy.” Brooks’ credits include “The Prom,” “The Cypher,” “How We Roll,” and “On My Block.” Brooks got her start in the entertainment industry as a professional dancer performing with elite artists including Billie Eilish, Kanye West, Lil’ Nas, Kelly Rowland, and more.
Bella Shepard: Shepard was recently the lead of the Paramount+ Series, “Wolf Pack” and is best known for her previous “Brat Series’ On the Ropes” and “A Girl Named Jo,” and as the lead in the series, “Two Sides.” Shepard was also seen in “The Wilds,” “Witch Hunt,” and the “iCARLY” reboot. She also had a lead guest role on the final season of “Orange Is the New Black,” and recurring roles on “Life in Pieces” and “Grace and Frankie.”
George Hawkins: Best known for playing Dylan in “Tell Me Everything.” His previous credits include Sean in the BAFTA-nominated film “Boiling Point,” and Adam in the feature film “Gassed Pp.” In 2023, Hawkins graduated from London’s Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts.
The new actors will join previously announced cast members, including the super-talented Holly Hunter as the captain and chancellor of Starfleet Academy, and the versatile Paul Giamatti, who will be playing the season’s villain. Hunter and Giamatti bring incredible talent to this new series. “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” will introduce viewers to a diverse group of cadets united by their dreams of hope and optimism. Under the watchful eyes of their instructors, they will discover what it takes to become Starfleet officers, navigating blossoming friendships, intense rivalries, first loves, and a new enemy that threatens both the Academy and the Federation itself. It’s produced by CBS Studios and is set to begin production later this summer.
This series is the latest addition to the expanding Trek franchise on Paramount+. “Star Trek: Discovery” just concluded its adventure with its fifth and final season. If you haven’t watched it, it wraps everything up beautifully. Of course, fans are eagerly awaiting more seasons of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.” Viewers were entertained by “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” and awaiting the exciting original movie “Star Trek: Section 31” starring Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh.
Stay tuned for more “Star Trek” announcements.
