In the series, Janeway will serve as the starship’s built-in emergency training hologram. Also joining the crew and making their debut as the series’ main villains, is Aussie John Noble and Jimmi Simpson as The Diviner and Drednok, respectively.
The theme music is composed by Academy Award winner Michael Giacchino, and the series music is by Nami Melumad (An American Pickle, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, Absentia).
“I am excited that I had the opportunity to write the main theme for Kevin and Dan’s latest project, and as always am thrilled to be a part of the Star Trek family,” said composer Michael Giacchino.
“I’m especially looking forward to everyone hearing the incredible work of composer Nami Melumad, who will take the reins of scoring the episodes. Not only is she extremely talented, she is a true Star Trek fan.”
