Back in February we talked with Brian Volk-Weiss, the creator of Netflix’s retrospective documentary series The Toys That Made Us, about the show’s upcoming Star Trek-focused episode, set to come in the second wave of episodes in 2018.
Today, thanks to Netflix’s monthly announcement of new shows coming to their service, we’ve learned that the Star Trek episode of The Toys That Made Us will be released on May 25 for subscribers worldwide.

If you missed our interview, we really recommend that you check it out — Volk-Weiss previewed many of the topics that the Trek episode will be covering, from the earliest days of Original Series toys from Mego to the still-in-development Star Trek: Discovery products from McFarlane Toys.
Season 1 debuted on Netflix last fall with episodes covering He-Man, Barbie, G.I. Joe, and Star Wars. In addition to Trek, their Season 2 lineup includes features on Lego, Transformers, and Hello Kitty.
