Star Trek: Countdown

Written by Mike Johnson and Tim Jones, based on a story by screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the series is a prequel to the film Star Trek, detailing the back-story of Nero. It takes place in the year 2387, eight years after Star Trek Nemesis, and connects the era of Star Trek: The Next Generation to the continuity of the film (inspired by "Unification I" and "Unification II"), and explains how Nero and Spock ended up in the 23rd century.
