FEBRUARY 23, 2020 - The producer of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine documentary What We Left Behind has announced that filming is to start soon on a new Voyager documentary.

David Zappone, the producer behind such Star Trek documentaries as The Captains, Chaos on the Bridge, and For the Love of Spock, in addition to What We Left Behind, made the announcement on Twitter on Friday. He said, “I asked if people were interested in seeing in a 25th Anniversary Star Trek Voyager documentary, and the answer a resounding YES!  Happy to announce that we kick off filming on [the Star Trek cruise].”

This is Voyager’s 25th anniversary year. It was back on January 16th, 1995 that the show premiered, breaking previous Trek boundaries with the franchise’s first ever female captain. Voyager went on to run for seven seasons, with the last episode airing on May 23rd, 2001. The series won 33 awards in its seven years, including 7 Primetime Emmys. The story even had a material impact on the currently-running series Star Trek: Picard, which saw the return of Jeri Ryan as her Voyager character Seven of Nine.

There are no details yet about a possible time frame for release, but if previous, similar documentaries are an indication, they’ll probably film throughout this year, including at the major conventions like Star Trek Las Vegas...putting the film’s release next year at the earliest.
