Star Trek's Kate Mulgrew Hints She's Open to Live-Action Janeway Return
Star Trek: Voyager star Kate Mulgrew has hinted that she is open to the possible live-action return of her iconic Star Trek character, USS Voyager Captain Kathryn Janeway. Voyager was the fifth television series in the Star Trek franchise, running until season 7 from 1995 to 2001. Voyager made Star Trek history as the first show in the franchise to feature a female captain, and Mulgrew's Janeway has been beloved by audiences for decades.
Over the past several years, there has been a resurgence of Star Trek content. After Star Trek: Discovery premiered in 2017, it was quickly followed by Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy, and Strange New Worlds. While many of these act as prequels to the original Star Trek series, Picard is unique in that it follows The Next Generation's Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) 30 years after the end of the series. In the recent Picard season 2, Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) made reference to Janeway, leading some viewers to speculate that this could hint at Mulgrew's return to the character in live-action in the near future — potentially in Picard season 3 alongside returning Next Generation characters.
