During the Executive Session of today’s CW portion of the Television Critics Association press tour, CW President Mark Pedowitz was asked about some properties in the Warner Bros. and CBS stables and if they’d work as series on The CW. One journalist asked Pedowitz about the topic of Star Trek, a property that has had a lot of success on television over the decades. If it were to become available, would The CW be interested?
“As a lifelong Star Trek fan, I would hope to have Star Trek at The CW,” Pedowitz said, before pointing out that that is a conversation to have at a different time and a different point. “Hopefully it will get released and we’ll be able to look at it as a TV series. At the moment it’s a feature film and I have heard no discussion about it going out as a TV show at all,” he continued.
So, Star Trek on The CW? Not anytime soon, it sounds like, but who knows what the future may bring if the network continues to live long and prosper.
