Streaming service CBS All Access debuts two installments of Short Treks, a series of 15-20 minute short stories set in the Star Trek universe, both of them animated. Ephraim And DOT, a comical return to the era of the original Star Trek, is directed by composer Michael Giacchino, while The Girl Who Made The Stars is the first Star Trek production in 53 years to feature an entirely African-American cast, writer, director, and composer. The voices of Kenric Green (The Walking Dead) and Kirk Thatcher (Star Trek IV) are featured in the first studio-produced Star Trek animation since the early 1970s.
