Star Trek: Discovery laid the framework for a new era of the long-running franchise, and some of its biggest swings happened while Michelle Paradise was helping steer the ship. The executive producer join the show midway into Season 2 and was the co-showrunner of the Sonequa Martin-Green-led series from Season 3 to its unexpected cancellation with Season 5 . Now that her work on the show is over, Paradise's future with the massive IP is uncertain.
So CinemaBlend asked her about possibly doing more with it following her show's series finale, and her answer was so perfect. With many upcoming Trek shows on the way, it would seem that there are opportunities for Michelle Paradise to put her writer's cap back on and contribute to an episode or two. For instance, she could even lead one of those surprise projects Alex Kurtzman hinted at while speaking with CinemaBlend.
I asked Paradise what her feelings were in regard to possibly joining another series on some level, or maybe even becoming showrunner of a different show. It wasn't too surprising that the veteran scribe's thoughts were respectful, but I also appreciate just how sweet they were: Oh, wow. I love Star Trek.
I mean, I grew up on Star Trek so it's been a dream to get to be part of this iteration of it. And all of the folks I've worked with have just been so lovely. So, if the opportunity arose, I would love to come back and be part of it in some way.
And, if that opportunity doesn't arise, I'm forever part of this family.
