The World Wants Star Trek Back On TV

This cast may have started the phenomena, but now the world wants them back!

That's right folks, the franchise which started out on TV, and was later exported to the big screen in the late 70s in an effort to give the fans what they wanted, has been off the air since a moratorium was put on making new Star Trek TV series due to the lack of success of: Star Trek: Enterprise...

Well with the ten year anniversary coming up of the, 'moratorium', it looks the the desire for a new series to come back to the small screen has come to a feverish pitch, what with some of the original cast members from the older series making mention of the fact that they would either like to see a new series, or to revisit there old characters back on the air (including Michael Dorn (Who played, 'Worf' in both: Star Trek The Next Generation & Star Trek Deep Space Nine, working on a new series based around his character.)

It looks like Star Trek's, 'Michael Dorn' is trying to bring Worf back to the small screen!

And now it looks like according to: Digital Spy, with interest acoming from Bryan Fuller (Hannibal), and Battlestar Galactica's, 'Ronald Moore' expressing interest in bringing the series back to the small screen, that CW's President, 'Mark Pedowitz' has also expressed interest in seeing the show come back to the small screen!

Now before I go on, I should probably tell you that UPN used to own the programming rights to make new series on their channel, but when UPN went out of business the programming was shifted to CW.

Anyway, here is what Mr. Pedowitz had to say about making a new Star Trek series, "As a life-long Star Trek fan, I would hope to have Star Trek at The CW," Pedowitz told press at the TCA winter press tour. "[But] I have heard no discussion about it going out as a TV series at all."

Here's hoping...
