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."

    You may have been better off just skipping the first season, and from what I've heard even the creators were disappointed in several early episodes. B5 did admittedly take awhile to really get going.

    I ended up watching the show up until the fifth season. The thing that annoyed me the most was that once you hit the halfway point, it seemed like the Captain would pin you down and give you an angry browbeating lecture every damn episode. The people they were fighting weren't fun, but many of his arguments boiled down to appeal to authority :P

    And then there was the plot where Garibaldi was just an asshole for an entire season and we eventually find out "oops he was brainwashed." That reads like lazy writing to me.

    I'd almost wish for a reboot, but I'd be scared what I'd get

    Well, they are doing a new version. [screenrant.com]

    P.S: Who modded you Troll? Yeesh. "Disagree" at worst.
