Exclusive: Discovery's beginning was 'daunting.'
Summary Doug Jones, who plays Captain Saru on Star Trek: Discovery, felt that the beginning of his Star Trek prequel series was "daunting". The early years of Star Trek: Discovery were under intense scrutiny from an audience that had been waiting over a decade for a new Star Trek television series. From the premiere of Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1987 until the finale of Star Trek: Enterprise in 2005, Star Trek had a continuous television presence.
Star Trek: Discovery was kind of the first of the new batch of Star Trek shows that came back after Enterprise, so there'd been a long gap. Being the outbreak new series of Star Trek was daunting because I knew that there's a lot of fandom riding on it. They're watching with an eye on every detail, and I love these Star Trek fans for that, because that makes the product all the better when there's a fandom waiting for it, and wanting it to be good.
The Future of Star Trek Depended on Discovery's Success Against the odds, Star Trek: Discovery revitalized the entire franchise. Close For the Star Trek franchise to continue on television after a 12-year gap, Star Trek: Discovery had to succeed. That meant doing away with the familiar format of the 90s-era Star Trek shows and embracing the qualities of "prestige television" to appeal to a modern audience.
