After signing a deal to expand the Star Trek franchise on television, Kurtzman announced Short Treks as the first such project in July 2018. The first four episodes aired from October 2018 to January 2019, between the first and second seasons of Discovery. The shorts were mostly produced by cast and crew members from Discovery, including composer Jeff Russo who provided an updated main title theme and original underscore. Filming took place in Toronto, Canada, on the set of Discovery.

In January 2019, two new animated shorts were revealed, with four additional live-action episodes announced in June 2019. The second season of shorts aired from October 2019 to January 2020, between the second season of Discovery and the first season of Star Trek: Picard, with the last short serving as a teaser for the latter series. The animated shorts were created by visual effects house Pixomondo, while a roster of new composers supervised by Michael Giacchino provided the music for the second set of shorts.

The series has received positive reviews and been nominated for several awards, including a Primetime Emmy Award. Kurtzman expressed interest in continuing the series, but the producers chose not to begin work on any new shorts when the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Development

edit
 
Co-creator Alex Kurtzman said the series was designed to buy time for the second season of Star Trek: Discovery to be completed.

In June 2018, after becoming sole showrunner of the series Star Trek: Discovery, Alex Kurtzman signed a five-year overall deal with CBS Television Studios to expand the Star Trek franchise beyond Discovery to several new series, miniseries, and animated series.[3] A month later, he announced at San Diego Comic-Con that a spin-off miniseries titled Star Trek: Short Treks, consisting of four shorts, would be released monthly between the first two seasons of Discovery. He said they would "deliver closed-ended stories while revealing clues about what's to come in future Star Trek: Discovery episodes. They'll also introduce audiences to new characters who may inhabit the larger world of Star Trek." The shorts were expected to be around 10 to 15 minutes long.[1][4]

Kurtzman said Short Treks was devised as a way to buy time so they could get the second season of Discovery right. The shorts were designed to tie-in with the second season of Discovery, but appear standalone at first so those connections would be a surprise for fans.[5] CBS CCO David Nevins indicated in December 2018 that there would be more shorts released between the end of Discovery's second season and the release of the new series Star Trek: Picard.[2] A month later, CBS All Access was confirmed to have ordered two new animated installments of Short Treks to be released in that time period. Kurtzman described the shorts as expanding "the definition of Star Trek" and allowing them to tell "very intimate, emotional stories that are side stories to characters. So you get the benefit of the experience in and of itself but then when you watch Discovery you'll see that these were all setting up things" in the main series.[6] Kurtzman suggested in February that future shorts could tie directly into other new Star Trek series, and be used to introduce ideas to audiences and set up mysteries.[7] At San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Kurtzman announced that the second season of Short Treks would consist of four new live-action shorts in addition to the two animated shorts previously announced, including one that ties-into Picard.[5]

After the second set of shorts were released, Kurtzman said the series was an interesting way to test both new stories and new filmmakers, with writers, directors, and composers on the shorts going on to work on other Star Trek series. He also said this short-form story telling was satisfying, comparing the shorts to those created by Pixar.[8] He revealed that one of the first ideas discussed for Short Treks was a story featuring Nichelle Nichols in her original Star Trek role of Uhura. The short would have seen a young Jean-Luc Picard visit Uhura in hospital and receive a mission related to the Borg. These discussions led to the development of Star Trek: Picard with an older Jean-Luc Picard, but Kurtzman said this story could still be told at some point.[9]

Short Treks was reportedly ordered for a third season in January 2020,[10] with production scheduled to take place from May to June.[11] Chabon said in March that there were no plans for any shorts based on Picard to be released between the first and second seasons of that series.[12] No other shorts had begun production by July, when the series received an Emmy Award nomination. Kurtzman said he hoped the accolade would lead to more Short Treks being made and he wanted to use future shorts to expand the franchise in new directions such as a musical short or a black-and-white short.[13] In January 2021, Kurtzman explained that further shorts had not been made due to the COVID-19 pandemic, since the restrictions on filming meant they had to focus on what they definitely needed to film for the main series. He expressed interest in making more shorts in the future.[14]

Live-action shorts

edit

Of the initial four shorts ordered in July 2018, three were set to each focus on a character from Discovery: Mary Wiseman's Silvia Tilly, Doug Jones's Saru, and Rainn Wilson's Harry Mudd. Jones's short would explore the backstory of Saru, while Wilson would also direct the short that he was starring in. Aldis Hodge was set to star in the fourth short as a new character, Craft.[1][4] The shorts were produced on the set of Discovery in Toronto, Canada.[15] In August, Wilson revealed that his short was written by a writer from the popular science fiction animated series Rick and Morty and described it as "very funny and weird. You see some alien situations you have never seen before in the Star Trek canon, and I am thrilled." He added that in making the short he assumed it was set after his last Discovery appearance, "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad", but he was not certain of this since it is standalone and does not directly tie-in to Discovery.[16] The Rick and Morty writer of his short was later revealed to be Star Trek fan Mike McMahan,[15] who went on to create the animated comedy series Star Trek: Lower Decks.[17]

Wiseman explained in October 2018 that her short, titled "Runaway", expands on Tilly's character and introduces her mother but otherwise would not affect the second season, so anyone who did not see the short could still understand the main series. Because of this, she did not have an exact placement of the short in the series' timeline though Jones pointed out that Tilly's hair style changes between the two seasons of Discovery and her hair in the short matches with the style from the second season. Jones confirmed that his short, "The Brightest Star", is set before Discovery and explores how Saru first joins Starfleet. He said the short has "breadcrumbs" and "hints" for the events of Discovery's second season, but the idea was still for the short and the second season to stand alone.[18] Novelist Michael Chabon joined the series as the writer of Hodge's short, "Calypso", through Discovery executive producer Akiva Goldsman who he had been working with on a film project. Chabon went on to be the showrunner of Star Trek: Picard. This short was the first work Chabon wrote for television to actually be produced.[19] "Calypso" is set in the far future when the Discovery's computer has become a sentient AI named Zora. The third season of Discovery began building towards this future by introducing an early version of Zora.[20]

After Anson Mount was confirmed to be leaving Discovery with the second-season finale, fans began calling, including through online petitions, for him to reprise his role of Christopher Pike in a spin-off set on the USS Enterprise, alongside Rebecca Romijn as Number One and Ethan Peck as Spock. Mount and Peck both responded positively to the idea.[21][22] In April 2019, Kurtzman also expressed interest, saying, "The fans have been heard. Anything is possible in the world of Trek. I would love to bring back that crew more than anything."[23] When announcing the second season of Short Treks at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019, Kurtzman said three of the new stories would feature the Enterprise actors, with the fourth live-action short being a "teaser" for Picard set 15 years before the start of that series. Kurtzman said the Enterprise-based shorts were a way to bring those characters and actors back now that Discovery had jumped into the future for its third season, but they would not preclude a potential spin-off series from being made.[5] When a spin-off series starring Mount, Peck, and Romijn was officially ordered by CBS All Access in May 2020, Dominic Patten of Deadline Hollywood opined that the Enterprise-set Short Treks retroactively appeared to be "rehearsals" for the series, which was titled Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.[24] For "The Trouble with Edward", Kurtzman brought in Casper Kelly to work on the "faux Tribbles cereal commercial" post-credits scene. This led to Kelly creating the comedic, non-canon shorts series Star Trek: very Short Treks.[25]

Animated shorts

edit
 
Michael Giacchino directed and composed the music for the animated short "Ephraim and Dot" and also supervised the composers for some other shorts.

Kurtzman explained in February 2019 that the first two animated shorts would have a different animation style from the series Lower Decks. He added that the first short would be directed by Discovery producing director Olatunde Osunsanmi and the second would be directed by composer Michael Giacchino (who wrote the score for the Star Trek "reboot films that Kurtzman wrote).[26] Producer Heather Kadin said the animated shorts would answer questions that previous Discovery seasons had left and "fill in some blanks", while Kurtzman elaborated that the two shorts would have different animation styles from one another based on the story and tone of each installment.[27] Pixomondo provided the animation for the shorts.[28][29]

The ideas for the two shorts were set before Giacchino joined, and he was able to choose which one he would direct.[28] He chose "Ephraim and Dot", which focuses on a female tardigrade and a DOT-7 repair droid.[30] Discovery originally included a tardigrade named Ephraim as a starring character, but the idea was abandoned due to budgetary requirements. A male tardigrade named Ephraim was then introduced as a major character in the Discovery tie-in novel Dead Endless.[30][31] DOT-7 repair droids were introduced in the second-season finale of Discovery.[30] Giacchino wanted the short to be like an episode of Tom and Jerry set on the Enterprise. The original designs for Ephraim were based on the tardigrades that Pixomondo created for Discovery, which looked much more like real tardigrades, but Giacchino asked to add eyes and a mouth to the character model so she could express emotions clearly throughout the short. Similarly, the model for Dot was designed to stretch and move in ways that a real robot would not to help show more emotion from the character. This stretching was part of Giacchino's aim to use traditional animation techniques, such as those seen in the works of Tex Avery, to give the short a more retro style than modern, computer-generated animation generally has.[28] The short takes place across 30 years of Star Trek history, and Giacchino was excited to include several easter eggs to other parts of the Star Trek franchise.[28][30] The short recreates scenes from the Star Trek: The Original Series episodes "Space Seed", "The Naked Time", "Who Mourns for Adonais?", "The Doomsday Machine", "The Tholian Web", and "The Savage Curtain", as well as the films Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984).[30] Original audio from some of the episodes was reused for these scenes.[28] The short ends with the USS Enterprise labelled as NCC-1701-A, which is a different ship from later in the franchise's timeline. Giacchino acknowledged this mistake after the episode's release and indicated that it could be addressed moving forward.[30]

Osunsanmi's "The Girl Who Made the Stars" originated from Discovery writer Brandon Schulze wanting to expand on the character of Mike Burnham, father of that series' protagonist Michael Burnham, as Schulze identified with the character as a black man with a young daughter. Schulze co-wrote the episode that introduced Kenric Green as Mike in Discovery, and pitched an idea for the second-season finale where Mike would be shown in flashback telling the story of a young African girl to Michael. This would have mirrored the second-season premiere where Michael recounts that story herself. The flashback did not fit in the season finale, but Kurtzman liked the idea and it was developed into an animated episode of Short Treks with Green reprising his role. The story is based on an actual African legend, but Schulze wanted to bring the ideas of the myth into the world of Star Trek and embellish the original ideas based on Michael's imagination, which included introducing an alien being into the story.[32] Osunsanmi was comfortable working with Pixomondo for the short after collaborating with the company on the visual effects for Discovery as a director on that show. He explained that the short was animated to try capture the magical feeling they wanted the story to have, and because of this he did not want the style to be too realistic. The designs of the Burnhams were based on their appearances in Discovery while the African part of the short was based on images of Africa and African tribes from across the continent.[29]

Music

edit

Star Trek: Discovery composer Jeff Russo returned for the first season of Short Treks. He based the main theme for the series on his Discovery title theme, and he was able to produce a different version of it for "The Escape Artist" which is not something Russo had been able to do for any episodes of the main series. Russo approached each short's underscore individually. He was unsure how to approach the score for "Calypso" at first, and whether to have it similar to the music for Discovery due to that ship's presence or to intentionally make it different due to the different time that the short is set in. Russo was ultimately inspired for the music by the dance sequence in the short.[33] Three cues from Russo's "The Escape Artist" score—"Many Mudds", "Star Trek Short Treks End Credits (Lounge Version)", and "Star Trek Short Treks Main Title (Disco Version)"—were released on the soundtrack album for the second season of Discovery alongside Russo's score for that season. The album was released digitally by Lakeshore Records on July 19, 2019.[34]

By the time work began on the second set of shorts, Russo was working on the score for Picard and did not have time to score each of the new shorts, though Kurtzman still asked him to compose the music for "Children of Mars" since that short ties-into Picard.[35] Giacchino was set to compose the music for his short "Ephraim and Dot",[36] and Kurtzman asked him to provide music for the rest of the shorts as well. Giacchino was busy with film projects at the time, but suggested hiring a diverse group of composers who had not been given such an opportunity which he felt was in the spirit of Star Trek.[37] Giacchino supervised this group of composers,[36] which consisted of Nami Melumad for "Q&A",[38][37] Sahil Jindal for "The Trouble with Edward",[39][37] Andrea Datzman for "Ask Not",[40] and Kris Bowers for "The Girl Who Made the Stars".[30][37] Two cues from Russo's "Children of Mars" score—"Page" and "Children Of Mars End Credits"—were released on the soundtrack album for the first season of Picard on February 7, 2020.[41] Melumad went on to compose for Strange New Worlds and Star Trek: Prodigy.[42][43][44]

Release

edit

Streaming

edit

The shorts were released on CBS All Access in the United States.[1] Bell Media broadcast the series in Canada on the specialty channels CTV Sci-Fi Channel (English) and Z (French) before streaming them on Crave.[45] The first four shorts were released monthly, beginning in October 2018 and ending in January 2019.[45] At the end of January the first set of shorts were made available to countries outside of the U.S. and Canada on Netflix under the "Trailers and More" section of the streaming service's Star Trek: Discovery page.[46] The first two shorts of the second season were released in October 2019 in the U.S. and Canada, with monthly releases through January 2020.[47] After the second set of shorts had all been released on All Access, Kurtzman said he expected they would be released on Netflix "at some point".[8] The second season was made available for free in the U.S. on CBS.com, CBS mobile apps, and YouTube from August 17 to 31, 2020, as part of the series' Emmy Awards campaign.[48] In September 2020, ViacomCBS announced that CBS All Access would be expanded and rebranded as Paramount+ in March 2021,[49] with the existing episodes of Short Treks remaining on Paramount+.[50] In August 2023, Star Trek content was removed from Crave so it could be released in Canada on Paramount+.[51]

Home media

edit

The two shorts from the first set that tie directly into the second season of Discovery, "Runaway" and "The Brightest Star", were included on the Blu-ray and DVD set of that season alongside all the season's episodes and several bonus features. This was released in the U.S. on November 12, 2019.[52] A home media release collecting nine of the shorts was released in the U.S. on June 2, 2020. It includes the four original shorts—"Runaway", "Calypso", "The Brightest Star", and "The Escape Artist"—the three USS Enterprise-based shorts—"Q&A", "The Trouble With Edward", and "Ask Not"—and the first two animated shorts—"Ephraim & Dot" and "The Girl Who Made the Stars". The collection also includes making-of featurettes as well as audio commentaries with writers Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet for "Runaway" and star Anson Mount for "Ask Not".[53] "Children of Mars" was released on October 6, 2020, on the home media set for Picard's first season which includes all of that season's episodes. The release also includes an audio commentary for the short with writers Kurtzman, Lumet, and Kirsten Beyer.[54]

Reception

edit

Critical response

edit

In a positive review, IGN's Scott Collura mostly praised the series after the release of the first four episodes saying, "The Short Treks have been an interesting experiment that have mostly worked, and it seems with this final installment that the Trek production team was just starting to nail the formula down."[55] In 2020, Space.com recommended watching the short "Children of Mars" as background for Star Trek: Picard.[56]
