Birth Movies Death reports that the new series will be set in the original continuity of the series, rather than the rebooted JJ Abrams movie universe. And it’ll be well as set before the events of The Next Generation and afterStar Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. The site also claims that the series does not involve a new incarnation of the USS Enterprirse, and that despite being set after the Federation-Klingon peace treaty of the Khitomer Accords, the show would feature a group of villainous Klingons.
Interestingly BMD also notes that the series will be a “seasonal anthology”, meaning that the show could jump to different time periods and casts every season.
