Familiar Faces on New Fall Shows

Along with back-to-school sales, baseball playoffs and chillier weather, autumn annually brings a new crop of network television shows. With Star Trek's ever-increasing history of over 600 hours of episodes and movies, it's inevitable that Star Trek alums are all over the new fall schedule.

Below is a listing of the major networks featuring Star Trek alums in new shows debuting this fall. All broadcast information is tentative, be sure and check your local listings. This collection of listings does not include current shows featuring Star Trek alums, only new series.

UPN

The Twilight Zone returns to network television under the steady hand of Executive Producer and Writer Ira Steven Behr, who also performed those functions on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Behr is joined on the writing staff by Robert Hewitt Wolfe who was a Writer and Co-Producer on DS9 as well as a Writer on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Another pair of DS9 alums, James Crocker and Frederick Rappaport, are serving as Consulting Producers on the new anthology show.
