Review [2]
The show was created by Rick Berman, Michael Piller and Jeri Taylor, and is the fifth incarnation of Star Trek, which began with the 1960s series Star Trek, created by Gene Roddenberry. It was produced for seven seasons, from 1995 to 2001, and is the only Star Trek TV series with a female captain, Kathryn Janeway played by Kate Mulgrew, as a main character. Berman served as head executive producer in charge of the overall production for the series during its entire run. He was assisted by a second in command executive producer that generally functioned as the day to day showrunner. There were four throughout the series' run: Michael Piller (EP/showrunner – first and second season), Jeri Taylor (EP – first through fourth season, showrunner – third and fourth season), Brannon Braga (EP/showrunner – fifth and sixth season), and Kenneth Biller (EP/showrunner – seventh season).
Star Trek: Voyager aired on UPN and was the network's second longest running series, as well as the final show from its debut lineup to end. |
