Cut and pasted shamelessly from StarTrek.com:
"CBS Television Studios announced today it will launch a totally new Star Trek television series in January 2017."
"The brand-new Star Trek will introduce new characters seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966."
"The new television series is not related to the upcoming feature film Star Trek Beyond which is scheduled to be distributed by Paramount Pictures in summer 2016."

As it's not on broadcast TV will they use any of the 7 words you can't say on TV? Or show some boobies?
I can see it now. "It's fricken boobs. IN SPACE!."

How do star trek mini-skirts work in a space suit? Obviously 7of9 and Deana had special outfits. That and grav plate failures. I guess in a grav plate failure having almost no fabric to tangle up is a feature not a bug, in multiple ways, I guess.

Just so you know, there are guys who also wear the mini-skirt in Star Trek.
