9. Showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau
Showrunners Noga Landau and Alex Kurtzman both appeared on the blue carpet with the other members of the Star Trek universe, but Landau was clearly starstruck after meeting Kate Mulgrew of Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Prodigy fame for the first time.
When it comes to revealing a bit about Starfleet Academy's characters, though, Kurtzman said, “These kids are at the beginning of that journey [becoming Starfleet officers] in a very different kind of way,” and these cadets are clearly just trying to figure out who they are.
Landau also talked about this new show representing a bit of wish fulfilment because the fandom has been waiting patiently for nearly 60 years to see the hallowed halls of Starfleet Academy represented on screen.
Now, the biggest news revealed by Kurtzman in the interview was that he is shooting the season 2 finale in two weeks. And when host Celia Rose Gooding asked both showrunners to describe Starfleet Academy in three words, Landau said: “New. Sexy. Adventure.”
Kurtzman's response: "Fun. Emotional. Scary."
