Another batch of TV news has come in, and here is the round-up!

In 2020, they will launch the Star Trek Command Training Program that places two interns per semester on a Star Trek series production. The selected interns will be fully-immersed in production, engaging in on-set production, animation, post-production, and more. This announcement comes as CBS All-Access prepares to embark upon the launch of Star Trek: Picard in January (see "CBS All Access Reveals New 'Star Trek: Picard' Trailer and Premiere Date").

Quibi has greenlit the Russo Brothers' Slugfest, a documentary series about the rivalry between Marvel and DC Comics, according to Deadline.
