The CW's president Mark Pedowitz has revealed that he is keen for the network to air a new Star Trek series.

The sci-fi franchise will have been absent from the small screen for 10 years in 2015, following the demise of Star Trek: Enterprise in May 2005.

"As a life-long Star Trek fan, I would hope to have Star Trek at The CW," Pedowitz told press at the TCA winter press tour. "[But] I have heard no discussion about it going out as a TV series at all."

The most recent Star Trek series debuted on UPN in the US, with that network shifting some of its programming to The CW when it shut down in 2006.



Hannibal's Bryan Fuller and Battlestar Galactica's Ron Moore are among those to have expressed an interest in bringing the property back to television.

Meanwhile, a third outing for the revamped film franchise is set for release on July 8, 2016, with Fast & Furious 6 filmmaker Justin Lin set to direct.
