When fans at a Vampire Diaries panel asked Wesley about the future of Star Trek: Year One, the proposed spinoff that would follow his version of James T. Kirk into his first year commanding the USS Enterprise, his answer was the same as it's been, just sharper. 'We always talk about how we'd love to do a spin-off,' Wesley told the crowd, 'and if they... if we get the phone call, we'll do it. But we haven't got the phone call yet.' He followed that with a joke. Paramount may have simply 'lost my phone number.'
Strange New Worlds executive producers Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers have publicly described Year One as their '100 percent' dream plan, a show that would pick up where SNW leaves off, following Wesley's Kirk and Ethan Peck's Spock in the early days of the legendary Enterprise captaincy. Peck has said he'd return. Wesley has said he'd return. The creative team wants it. The fanbase wants it.
What's missing is a green light from a studio in the middle of a major corporate transition. Paramount's merger with Skydance has left the Trek TV franchise in a state of limbo, with the studio reportedly prioritizing new Star Trek films over streaming series. That could shift as Paramount has said more Trek will come, but as of yet, there's no indication they're willing to move ahead with Wesley's dream project.
When Wesley was cast as Kirk in 2022, stepping into a role that William Shatner made iconic for three seasons of The Original Series and many following movies, the reception was skeptical. He earned it anyway. His performance in Season 3's retro-throwback episode earned him a Saturn Award for Best Guest Star. Shatner himself gave Wesley acting advice. That's not a small thing for a franchise that can be fiercely protective of its own history.
