The Star Trek: Voyager documentary has crowdfunded a staggering $625,000 after only a week, expanding the scope and run time of the film. Star Trek: Voyager ran from 1995-2001 on the UPN Network, and served as the flagship Star Trek series during its run. It featured Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the intrepid crew of the USS Voyager, stranded 75 years away from home in the Delta quadrant. The show featured popular characters like the holographic Doctor (Robert Picardo) and former Borg drone Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan).
Production company 455 Films has started a crowdfunding campaign to tell the story of Star Trek: Voyager’s production, and it’s off to an impressive start, blowing well past its $150,000 goal, reaching $625,000 after only seven days, per TrekMovie. The production can now be expanded to include things like brand new interviews with the cast and crew, HD remasters of scenes from the series, and licensing of the show’s iconic theme song.
The Voyager documentary is being produced by the same team that was behind the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine documentary What We Left Behind. That documentary was made on a much smaller budget but still managed to be a universal hit with hardcore Star Trek fans and a surprisingly candid, illuminating look into that show’s production.
Star Trek: Voyager is generally relegated to the back half of Star Trek quality-wise. It was only a modest ratings success in its heyday, and it rarely approached the creative heights of Star Trek: The Original Series or Star Trek: The Next Generation. However, it still has a meaningful legacy that deserves the nuanced look back it’s finally going to get.
