On this week’s episode of WeeklyTrek, TrekCore’s news podcast, host Alex Perry is joined by Lee Hutcihson for our annual year in review episode.

Look back over the highlights and lowlights in Star Trek news for 2024, as Alex and his guest discuss six of the biggest news stories and moments in the franchise this year. We talk about the strange year we had in Star Trek with 40 new episodes from seasons that seem like they’ve brought three shows to a close, and what it all might mean for 2025 and the Star Trek franchise going forward. In addition, we discuss some of our favorite moments of the year – including the exciting casting announcements for Starfleet Academy and Prodigy season two’s release.
