Jeri Ryan Turns Down Star Trek Captain Seven Of Nine Show
According To The Star Trek: Voyager Actress, A Captain Seven Of Nine Show Almost Happened
Space… The Final Frontier… And so it was that writer producer Gene Roddenberry gave the world Star Trek - chronicling the adventures and heroic exploits of Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and Mister Spock (Leonard Nimoy), serving aboard their magnificent Starfleet Starship, the USS Enterprise.
Ever since Kirk fought merciless Klingons and playfully romanced scores of sexy aliens, Roddenberry’s cosmic Wagon Train To The Stars gave loyal fans - Trekkies or Trekkers - various spin-off sequel shows. First we got them on NBC broadcast, then through syndication, the 1995 debut network, UPN, and now we stream them on Paramount Plus.
After NBC's classic Roddenberry original 1966 sci-fi romp with Shatner's Kirk and Nimoy's Spock, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise followed. Feature films featuring much of the cast of these shows hit the box office and scored big. But these days, cinema, broadcast and even cable television are so yesterday. Now, it’s all about home brewed video streaming.
Streaming on Paramount Plus saw excited fans embrace Star Trek: Picard with Voyager's Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) co-starring alongside Patrick Stewart's Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Fan reaction singled a strong possibility of Seven going forth to lead her own Starfleet Starship Crew. Now, Ryan reveals such a TV show focusing on the former Borg Drone nearly happened, but she ultimately turned it down.
