The Fargo and Legion creator has boarded the new Star Trek film.

Multiple outlets confirm that Noah Hawley is set to write and direct the next Star Trek film for Paramount. Hawley will also produce through his 26 Keys production banner along with JJ Abrams and his Bad Robot banner. 

Currently, there’s still not much to report on the forthcoming iteration of the Trek franchise. It is unknown if the Enterprise crew — Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, and Karl Urban, will return. And about the plot, according to Entertainment Tonight, the movie will apparently not continue the storyline in Abrams’ Star Trek Beyond (2016). 

Hawley made his feature directing debut this year with Lucy in the Sky.
