Deep Space Nine Season 8? The Star Trek series survived seven seasons before ending with story left untold. However, a new documentary series will reveal what would have happened in an eighth season of the series, THR details:
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 documentary — which will feature interviews with cast and crew — launches an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign Thursday to raise money for its completion.
On bringing the team back together to break the fabled eighth season, showrunner Ira Steven Behr told the publication:
That was an idea that I had based on a conversation with Avery, because Avery kept saying, “Don’t make it talking heads only.” It got me thinking, what would be something you’ve never seen before? There were ground rules, which was everyone had to watch the final episode of season seven, so everyone remembered where everyone was on the playing field, or at least read the Wikipedia page. We weren’t going to have any cheat sheets. We are going in there with nothing for one day to see if we could get through a pilot episode of the show. And we did. Obviously, as with any show, you don’t break a show in a day — and if you do, you still go back the next day and refine. This is the raw material, but it’s a fascinating process. We had a fantastic time doing it. It was amazing how time slipped away and everyone was back doing their thing and interacting and arguing and getting passionate and it was really a magic day.
Will Deep Space Nine ever have a full revival or reboot series? Stay tuned…
