Trek Executives Fear For The Fate Of 'Enterprise'

An anonymous source revealed that executives at Star Trek: Enterprise are trying to save the show from cancellation, and that this may include taking the show to another network.

This anonymous source spoke to Cinescape's Patrick Sauriol about the atmosphere on the Enterprise set. "Star Trek's executives...are running on 'Red Alert' mode to save Enterprise from cancellation doom, and this may include shopping the show to another network or cable channel," the source revealed.

According to the source, the cancellation of Jake 2.0 was unexpected, as both it and Enterprise had been promised full seasons. "Apparently, Trek staffers were assured by higher-ups at UPN, including people in Les Moonves's office, that Enterprise and Jake 2.0 were safe," the source said. "After all, Jake 2.0 was signed to complete this season's run of episodes."

Just last month, the news broke that Enterprise's number of episodes was going to be cut down from 26 to 24, and that the show might be moving to Friday nights (story). However, the Friday night news was dismissed as an incorrect rumor and denied by UPN (story).

However, now rumors of a schedule change seem to be resurfacing. "With the hammer coming down on Jake this week, in addition to the 'trimming' of UPN's order of Enterprise episodes this season, Star Trek's executives fear the promises given were disingenuous at best," the source said. This also comes on the heels of UPN's recent refusal to comment about the future of the show (story).
