Scott Bakula could return to the Star Trek universe in an interesting new idea of Spin -Off

Star Trek: Enterprise It seems to have been the black sheep of the Star Trek The television history of the franchise. While it was fantastic, it was a show that never got the seven -seasons race of its predecessors and ended with a finale that left the fans disappointed.

Now, more than two decades later, Scott Bakula It could finally have the opportunity to give Captain Jonathan Archer the sending he deserves … making him president.

During a recent interview with Trekmovie, for a long time Business writer and producer Michael Sugiper He revealed that he and Bakula launched the idea for a new series focused on the following years of Archer, a political drama in Star Trek universe.

The concept was unleashed after the success of Star Trek: Picard. As Solita explained, what started as an E -MAP about Bakula on a potential Star Trek: Archer The show quickly turned into something that both thought had a real potential.

The seed for this idea actually comes from a moment in Business Episode “in a mirror, dark, part II.” In it, a universe of Mirror Malvagio Archer pulls on the staff of the staff of his main counterparty.

Some fans noticed that he outlined the impressive career trajectory of Archer after the events of Business – Admiral, head of the Starfleet Command staff, Anorian Honorary Imperial Guard, Councilor of the Federation and, finally, President of the Earth in 2184. Susband said:

“It occurred to me that someone in the writing staff, not in the artistic department, needed to write this graph. Someone had to think about it, right? This would have been a graphic designer who explained the life and career of Archer after the end of the series.

“[This was after knowing that] The franchise was entering the freezer for a spell. [Archer’s future] It could be fully visible in the finished episode. “

SUMMANT’s title of work for the project is Star Trek: UnitedAnd imagine it as a mixture of The west wing AND The diplomatset only in the training years of the Federation.

“It is a political thriller and a family drama set in those chaotic and training years of the Federation. […] We did 98 hours of Business And I think [Bakula] He really explored that character, but this was a very different direction to arch enter. And I think it was really intrigued. “

SUMMANMA has even drawn a comparison with how Andor high the Star Wars franchise, hoping Star Trek: United It could do the same for trek. He has already launched the idea to the Franchising supervisor Alex KurtzmanAnd the initial encounter went quite well that SUMMANDA is ready for a longer tone if the interest continues.

If it happens is another question. Paramount’s recent fusion with Skydance launched the future of Star Trek In uncertainty, although the new leadership includes some dedicated fans.

Just now, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds It is the only active series in execution, with Starfleet Academy set to get to the beginning of 2026. There may be room for Star Trek: United Next to them at some point? SUMMAN AND BAKULA certainly think so.

I’d like to see a series like this made! I am a fan of the Business Series and I would only like to see the story of Jonathan Archer further explored in a new series and are totally on board with the concept!
