Robert Picardo weighs in on the possibility of a live-action Star Trek: Voyager reunion movie. Picardo played The Doctor for all 7 seasons of Star Trek: Voyager, and he reprises his iconic role as the acerbic Emergency Medical Hologram in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2. As part of the new USS Voyager-A’s crew, The Doctor becomes a mentor to the young Starfleet hopefuls of the USS Protostar, and he plays a key role in Admiral Kathryn Janeway’s (Kate Mulgew) mission to rescue Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran) from an alternate future timeline.
In an upcoming exclusive interview with Screen Rant about his comeback as The Doctor in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, Robert Picardo was asked his thoughts about reuniting the cast of Star Trek: Voyager for a live-action streaming movie on Paramount+. While Picardo calls a full-fledged Voyager comeback “unlikely,” he would reprise The Doctor in live-action if it happens. Read Robert’s quote below:
You know, of course, that would be great. I think it’s unlikely considering the cost and the lead time for those projects. It’s unlikely but anything’s possible in the world of Star Trek. And it was so successful with the Next Gen cast and who knows? Maybe we’ll get the shot.

In its seven seasons, Star Trek: Voyager introduced many new faces to the Trek universe. Here is a breakdown of the show’s main cast and characters.
Can A Star Trek: Voyager Reunion Movie Happen?
Star Trek on Paramount+ has top-secret surprises in the works
Star Trek: Prodigy is essentially a spiritual sequel to Star Trek: Voyager, with Admiral Janeway, Captain Chakotay, The Doctor, and the USS Voyager-A central to season 2. Still, Star Trek: Voyager is arguably more popular now than it was during its broadcast run in the 1990s, when Star Trek’s first female Captain to lead her own series inspired a generation of young women. A new generation has grown up watching Star Trek: Voyager on streaming, and the main actors are still working, with many involved in Star Trek on Paramount+ and, of course, Star Trek: Prodigy on Netflix.
Star Trek movies made-for-streaming on Paramount+ kick off with Star Trek: Section 31, starring Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh. Section 31‘s potential success opens the door for more 2-hour Star Trek streaming events. As Robert Picardo alluded to, a full-fledged, live-action Star Trek: Voyager reunion would be a draw akin to the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation reassembling in Star Trek: Picard season 3. More Voyager names could easily join Star Trek: Prodigy season 3 if it happens, but the possibility of a live-action Star Trek: Voyager reunion movie is something Paramount+ should consider.
