The First ‘Star Trek’ Movie Was Originally a Canceled TV Show Titled ‘Star Trek: Phase II’

The original Star Trek came to an early end after just three seasons. That could have been the end of the wildly imaginative space adventure series, if not for its immense success in syndication. Like so many of the most enduring shows throughout television history, it needed some time to find its audience.

Creator Gene Roddenberry got his second shot at his monumental creation thanks to the second-run demand for more Starfleet adventures. Ultimately, it was a series of films that kept Star Trek alive until its return to television. But first, there was an attempt to make a sequel series for the small screen.
