Scott Bakula Is Putting Together A New Archer Series That Sounds Intriguing

20 Years After 'Star Trek: Enterprise' Ended, Scott Bakula Is Putting Together A New Archer Series That Sounds Intriguing

20 years ago, "Star Trek: Enterprise" came to a (rather disappointing) end after four seasons, and with that also concluded the "Star Trek" TV run that had been going since The Next Generation premiered in 1987. But the franchise has been going strong again on the small screen front since 2017 for those with a Paramount+ subscription, with Strange New Worlds Season 3 currently airing on the 2025 TV schedule and Starfleet Academy dropping sometime next year. Now it turns out that Scott Bakula, who starred as Jonathan Archer in Enterprise, is helping put together a follow-up series for his character that sounds intriguing. Enterprise producer Michael Sussman, who also wrote 22 episodes in the series, informed TrekMovie that he first thought of an idea to revisit Archer around the time "Star Trek: Picard" Season 3 was ending. Sussamn joked in an email with Bakula about when they’ll “see 'Star Trek: Archer' on Paramount+,” then realized there was an actual nugget of an idea there. Specifically, Sussman and Bakula are keen to explore Archer’s tenure as president of the United Federation of Planets, and they want this show to have the same kind of mature tone that the "Star Wars" series "Andor" had.

If for no other reason:
