The Big Picture Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas has made no secret of his desire to write Star Trek: Legacy, a new ongoing series set in the 25th century — and now fans have a new way of letting Paramount know they want it, too. "Letters 4 Legacy," a new letter-writing campaign, has just launched its website. The site, which can be found at letters-4-legacy.
It may seem unlikely, but Star Trek has often prevailed against network indifference with the help of its sizable and active fan base. Recently, fans campaigned to save Star Trek: Prodigy, the animated series that had been wiped off Paramount+ as a tax writeoff; that campaign succeeded, as Prodigy was picked up by Netflix, which will air its first season and its nearly complete second, as well.
Did Letters Save 'Star Trek' In the Sixties? When it premiered in 1966, Star Trek was like nothing else on TV, and soon built a loyal fan base. Unfortunately for the series, that did not translate into high ratings, so as early as its first season, science fiction writers like Harlan Ellison were beating the drums to keep the show on the air.
Of course, to network executives, ratings matter even more than letters.
The Letters 4 Legacy campaign is now live. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates, and watch Collider's interview with Terry Matalas below.
