UPN Cancels ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ [source]

Star Trek: Enterprise will come to an end following the airing of an as yet untitled series finale on May the 13th, 2005.

UPN and Paramount today jointly announced the show’s cancellation. “Star Trek has been an important part of UPN’s history, and Enterprise has carried on the tradition of its predecessors with great distinction,” UPN Entertainment president Dawn Ostroff said. “We’d like to thank Rick Berman, Brannon Braga and an incredibly talented cast for creating an engaging, new dimension to the Star Trek universe on UPN, and we look forward to working with them, and our partners at Paramount Network Television, on a send-off that salutes its contributions to The Network and satisfies its loyal viewers.”

Pity.

I watched it heavily the first season and most of the second, but the Xindi stuff left me cold. However, I really liked what Manny Coto did this season. Alas, it was too little, too late.

Oh, and there might be some Extra Special Guest Stars on the final ep:

No official details have yet been released for the final episode of the series, beyond the fact it will be written by Enterprise creators Rick Berman and Brannon Braga. Recently, Paramount was rumoured to be in negotiations with Jonathan Frakes (William T. Riker) and Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi) for a guest appearance on the final episode, although Sirtis has since denied this.
