Star Trek has always had a terrible problem at presenting all alien societies as monocultures.

I actually don't think "planet of hats" is a problem in episodic TV. The only real alternative is to eschew cultural worldbuilding entirely, and just have the characters as funny-looking humans with the exact same range of personal idiosyncrasies. Which then leads to the question of why you're using aliens at all.

Often by design.

From Rob Lazinsky, our first look at the logo. Since the delta was the A in Picard, we're getting Sectian Thirty One!

couldn't they have made it the dot over the i?

Deltas are most versatile.

Deltas are most versatile.

Yes. They can change.

So with filming finished, I wonder if we'll see it this year? If Paramount wants to put one of these out every couple years, odds are they're gonna want one for 2026, being it's the 60th Anniversary.

I’m going to guess early next year

Post-production takes about 4-6 months.

Post-production takes about 4-6 months.

Which means we could see it by the fall.... Star Trek Day. Which would really work out for the 60th, if they stick with the two year plan.

Could be a nice way to keep fandom fed as we wait for SNW likely in 2025.

A December release with a limited theatrical run makes sense to me. Then SNW in January .

 

[The Wormhole]

There isn't going to be a theatrical run, limited or otherwise. And I wouldn't expect SNW any earlier than February.

P+ isn't going to do a theatrical run for a film designed specifically for the Streaming platform. They have a plan for more Trek feature films (who knows how far that'll get), BUT no, they won't 'muddy the waters' with a limited theatrical release. This Section 31 film is designed to bring more eyes (and subs) to the P+ streaming platform.

“Thirty-One” should have a hyphen, dammit.

Printing costs.

It should really be 31 anyway.

They might do an EXTREMELY limited run in NY and/or LA just for publicity's sake.

A full theatrical run? No.

 

[Daddy Todd]

If they do a theatrical run at all, it will be a Fathom Event.
