Nickelodeon and CBS Television Studios said Wednesday that they have given the go-ahead for a new animated Star Trek series to be developed by Emmy Award winners Kevin and Dan Hageman.

The new series will debut exclusively on Nickelodeon and will follow "a group of lawless teens who discover a derelict Starfleet ship and use it to search for adventure, meaning and salvation."

The series will be from CBS' Eye Animation Productions, CBS Television Studios' new animation arm; Secret Hideout; and Roddenberry Entertainment.

Nickelodeon is a unit of Viacom Inc. (VIA).
