Star Trek: Voyager documentary to be out on DVD/Blu-ray sooner than you think

Star Trek: Voyager remains a landmark television series within the franchise. The series featured the first woman to lead a Star Trek show, and subsequently, the first to feature as a captain in said show. The show also was the first attempt to launch a Paramount-focused broadcast/streaming service, with 1995's UPN (United Paramount Network).

Voyager's impact on the franchise and sci-fi as a whole has become clearer in recent years, with many seeing it as the foundational and transformative series that it was. It featured compelling storylines, deep and interesting characters, and as much science fiction fun as one could have in a 42-minute episode. It was a true standard bearer. Even if that standard only became clear years later.

In 2021 David Zappone attempted to tell the story of Voyager and along with some others, launched a GoFundMe campaign to finance a documentary on the show called, "To the Journey". The idea was to follow up the Deep Space Nine documentary "What We Left Behind", which was a major success.

Well, it's been three years, and we finally have word on when the Voyager documentary is planning to be released. According to TrekMovie.com, who got ahold of Zappone, the idea is to debut the documentary in London, New York and London sometime in November of 2024. This will not be the final version of the film, instead, it'll be a specific cut just for the core backers of the project who live in and can make it to those respective cities. More details on the screenings are expected to be announced at STLV, the annual Las Vegas-based Star Trek convention.

For those who are waiting for the home release, DVDs are expected to formally go on sale by spring of 2025, with a wide-release, theatrical premiere sometime before that in 2025. It'll likely be a limited-time engagement like past Star Trek projects. Like when Phantom Events premiered The Next Generation two-parter, The Best of Both Worlds, in the theaters for a short time in 2013.
