A new series in this iconic franchise was seen filming in Toronto
Toronto is known for being the set to so many movies and tv series, usually as a stand-in for other major cities like New York or Chicago.
From Nightmare Alley, Turning Red, and The Handmaid's Tale, there's a reason why the city is known as Hollywood North.
It's time to add another major tv series to the ever growing list because the new Star Trek show was just spotting filming in Toronto.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds follows Captain Pike and the starship USS Enterprise crew as they explore new worlds through the galaxy during the decade before Star Trek: The Orginal Series.
Some eagle-eyed locals have spotted some signs of filming the new series in downtown Toronto.
