Star Trek Renegades no longer exists. Due to the strict guidelines as set by CBS/Paramount the second episode "Requiem" has kinda been canceled. It will be back but in a highly modified state. Gone are Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, Terry Farrell, Robert Beltran, Tim Russ, Manu Intiraymi, Aron Eisenburg, Robert Picardo, Cirroc Lofton, and any other supporting cast members who have previously been involved in a network incarnation or film incarnation of Star Trek. It is to continue as just Renegades.
Here is the official press release ....
We, at Renegades, have nothing but the utmost respect for Star Trek and its IP holders, CBS and Paramount. Everything we have done has been because of Gene Roddenberry’s vision and creativity. Star Trek is their property and we will absolutely abide by their rules and guidelines.
That being said, we do have an obligation to our donors and fans, and we have every intention of fulfilling it to the best of our ability. So, we will continue to make “The Requiem” as promised, but without any Star Trek elements.
As you know, we’ve already begun filming “The Requiem” so we cannot halt, suspend, or postpone production. Renegades, from the get go, was designed to be transformative… not derivative. Thus, with very minor changes to our script, we have eliminated all of the Star Trek references. The good news is that Renegades is now a completely original and ongoing series.
We would like to take this time to thank CBS and Paramount for letting us play in their proverbial sandbox for as long as they did. And we’d also like to thank our loyal, creative, and passionate fans for their unending support. We truly appreciate it.
-The Renegades Team
