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.
