‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’ Showrunner on Season 8 Story

start

“Ira Steven Behr assembled his old writer’s room to break the first new episode in almost 20 years — and filmed what happened for a new documentary.”

This morning I woke to a headline that got me way too excited. My eyes quickly captured a couple words “DS9” and “Season 8”, my mind almost exploded. Whoever constructed the chosen headline, kudos to you for your attention grabbing swagger, because it sure did work. Needless to say, we are not getting a season 8 but we are getting a documentary that will explore what a season 8 could have looked like. Can you imagine? Ronald D. Moore, Rene Echevarria and Hans Beimler all in the same writing room again–it’s like a dream come true for DS9 fans.

–members of DS9 writer’s room reunited to tell the story of what would come next — and details of a fabled season eight, episode one will be made public thanks to a new documentary, What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

The announced documentary, which will feature interviews with the crew and cast, launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign Thursday to raise money in order to complete the documentary.
