Kate Mulgrew Confirms Talks With Alex Kurtzman on Potential Janeway Spinoff

The discussions follow Prodigy’s cancellation, reflecting Mulgrew’s insistence on high standards for any return.

Overview

  • Mulgrew told TrekMovie at the Starfleet Academy world premiere that she and franchise lead Alex Kurtzman are talking about a Janeway-centered project.
  • She emphasized she would only reprise Janeway if the series is excellent and true to Star Trek’s hopeful ethos.
  • Mulgrew previously declined a 2024 pitch she said she didn’t understand, describing it as being set in a Wild West concept.
  • Star Trek: Prodigy ended after Netflix declined to renew it despite strong reviews, and Mulgrew has voiced concern that Janeway did not get a proper sendoff.
  • Kurtzman has hinted other Star Trek projects are in the works, and Janeway appeared in Starfleet Academy promotional material, but no Janeway spinoff has been greenlit.
