History Channel is preparing The Center Seat – a documentary to mark the 55th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise.

Deadline broke the news of Brian Volk-Weiss’ eight part series. “Star Trek, from before I was 10 years old, gave me the closest thing I have to a code to follow in my life,” Volk-Weiss said. “If it wasn’t for the words ‘I don’t believe in the no-win scenario,’ I’d be very alone, broke, and miserable in this world. So to say this is a passion project would be a tremendous understatement.”

Ian Roumain will be showrunner with Gates McFadden, Cisco Henson and Mark Altman as executive producers.
