LOS ANGELES (AP) -- After four years, the mission is
over for "Star Trek: Enterprise."
The prequel to the original ''Star Trek'' science
fiction series will air its final episode in the United States on May 13, UPN
and Paramount Network Television announced Wednesday.
The series will get a send-off that "salutes its
contributions to the network and satisfies its loyal viewers," said UPN
Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff. She didn't disclose details.
"Star Trek: Enterprise" debuted in September 2001.
Scott Bakula stars as Capt. Jonathan Archer, along with John Billingsley, Jolene
Blalock, Dominic Keating, Anthony Montgomery, Linda Park and Connor
Trinneer.
The franchise included "Star Trek", "Star Trek: The
Next Generation", "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", "Star Trek: Voyager" and "Star
Trek: Enterprise."
"Star Trek" movies also have been
released.
While bidding goodbye to "Star Trek: Enterprise," the
studio hinted at more "Star Trek" to come.
"We all look forward to a new chapter of this
enduring franchise in the future," said Paramount Network Television President
David Stapf.
