VIDEO: A new Star Trek TV show is coming

It’s actually happening, Star Trek is coming back to TV!

The show originally appeared on CBS a long, long (long!) time ago in 1966, and will be celebrating its incredible 50th anniversary next year in 2016. And while we’ll be getting another major big screen outing that year, starring the likes of Chris Pine and Simon Pegg, it seems the small screen is also set to get some new adventures in the not-so distant future.

CBS has confirmed that a new Star Trek TV series will air in January 2017. Just take that in for a moment.
