The long-running "Star Trek" franchise has seen plenty of action on screens big and small over its nearly 60-year history. It's yielded nearly a dozen television series and 13 movies since its launch in 1966, with more in the planning stages. From big-budget action adventures to thoughtful exploration of the human spirit in outer space, "Star Trek" has done it all. Beyond the screen too, there are books, comics, video games, even audio dramas, that have continued to, in the words of its two most famous captains (https://www.looper.com/356263/star-treks-enterprise-captains-ranked-from-worst-to-best/), "explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go where no one has gone before."
But for every project we see, there are more that are planned and never produced. We've heard actor Michael Dorn's idea for a "Captain Worf" (https://trekmovie.com/2021/01/22/interview-michael-dorn-pitches-captain-worf-show-explains-what-it-would-take-to-do-star-trek-picard/) TV series, but what about the projects that nearly happened, or had a real chance of being made, and fell apart or came to a halt before they came to fruition? Well you're in luck, because we've got a list for you of the canceled "Star Trek" projects that you've probably never heard about.
