Talk of the series dates back to , when it was revealed that "a series set at Starfleet Academy from creators Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz" was potentially on the docket. 
Murmurs of the series occurred sporadically when in it was briefly revealed that the show was "aimed at a younger audience", and a month later, , talk of the series was further explained by Alex Kurtzman: "I know there has been a lot of conversations about Starfleet Academy, which we are very excited about. And Wil, when we talked about there's this new generation that is going to come and it's going to inherit the problems of the old generation. What are they going to do to make the world better, to solve it. How are we going to avoid the mistakes of our elders? And how are we going to learn from the wisdom of our elders? That's a really wonderful thing to consider when you think about something like Starfleet Academy." 
Almost six months later, in , the first official pitched was honed down to describe "a new offshoot, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, is in development at CBS Studios and Alex Kurtzman's studio-based Secret Hideout for the ViacomCBS streamer, sources said. Sharing a name with the late 1990s video game, the series is set among the college of cadets mentored for leadership roles in the United Federation of Planets space force." 
The series was officially announced at the end of , just four weeks after cancellation of following its fifth season. 
While specifics of the series have not been officially revealed, the teaser blurb contains cues that seem to have been taken directly from the 's post-Burn fourth season; specifically, references found in the episodes : "Starfleet Academy re-opening after 125 years"; and : "And is exactly what this new generation of cadets needs as the Federation rebuilds", almost directly mirror the promotional blurb below. 
The series is expected to start shooting in the summer of 2024. According to Kurtzman, the building of the sets will be a "massive endeavor." The series's shooting is expected to last six months, followed by six to eight months of post-production.

===Characters===
Robert Picardo described the return of The Doctor thusly: "They’ve taken me out of holographic mothballs. The character is an artificial intelligence. He’s now several hundred years old, but it is set in the more distant future that Star Trek: Discovery propelled itself into. So in that future that my character is now several hundred years old, maybe 900 years old. Remarkably, I don’t look that much older. But I’m having a ball working on it, revisiting the character."
