According to IMDB, Star Trek New Voyages has been in production since 2004. I think the real story is that web TV series are finally being recognized as a thing by the NY Times. I think it's fitting that they would have the story be on a series that continues the theme of exploring new frontiers, and it's only natural that their story focus on the first one, since it's in their region and the article is in their Region section for the NY area.

Star Trek New Voyages doesn't have a Doohan relative on their cast. They have had George Takei and Walter Koenig reprise their TOS roles, though.

I really enjoy this web series. They have been around since 2004, and their episodes continue to improve over time. I think this is the future of Star Trek, because Paramount seems to be more interested in just making another action film, rather than a Trek film.
