With the "Star Trek" prequel set to begin shooting in October, rumors are that there may be plans in place to spin-off a new Star Trek TV series from it.
Quoting Robert Orci, part of the two-man scripting team for the upcoming prequel movie, Moviehole said, "I'm sure CBS is thinking about that. That's not [something] we're thinking about. We're just thinking about the movie. Certainly, I don't know how they could not think about that."
As far as the movie itself, Orci was silent on who would be starring in the new "Trek" offering sayin: "Kirk is in the movie. Some kind of Kirk. ... We literally haven't cast them yet. It's actually one of the challenges, and so we're hoping to have 
something by Comic-Con [in San Diego in July], but we'll see,"
It would be surprising not to see a spin-off from the movie. It seems that fans can't get enough of the popular franchise, and are always willing to sit and view the latest Trek extension.
