Season 4 of the series featured the critically acclaimed episode USS Callister, which starred several familiar faces (including How I Met Your Mother‘s Cristin Milioti, Westworld‘s Jimmi Simpson, Chewing Gum‘s Michaela Coel and Friday Night Lights‘ Jesse Plemons) and took place in a Star Trek-inspired setting. In January, Simpson said he’d “heard buzzes” about the episode getting its own spinoff series, “but I don’t believe anything until I’m working on set.”
