Star Trek’s Kate Mulgrew And Colm Meaney Unite For Irish Crime Drama (Trekmovie)
Summary: We haven’t seen beloved actors Kate Mulgrew or Colm Meaney in live-action Star Trek roles in the Alex Kurtzman era, or even in the same scene on their shows in the 1990s, but a new cop drama on Irish television will bring them together. Mulgrew, who played Captain Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager and Admiral Janeway on Star Trek: Prodigy, will star as Lieutenant Nora Savage in the new RTÉ show The Yank, the broadcaster announced. The show is set in Western Ireland and sees Mulgrew’s Savage, an NYPD detective, moving her family back home when she is pulled into a murder investigation involving a climate activist and pit against a “ruthless environmental magnate” as she tries to solve the crime.
Why it matters: This matters for Science Fiction because it gives a concrete current signal to track: We haven’t seen beloved actors Kate Mulgrew or Colm Meaney in live-action Star Trek roles in the Alex Kurtzman era, or even in the same scene on their shows in the 1990s, but a new cop drama on Irish television will bring them together.

Summary: Star Trek is entering an unusual moment: one door is closing in television, while another is opening on the big screen. Paramount confirmed at CinemaCon that a new movie is in development, and the move comes just weeks after one of the franchise’s newer series was canceled. The shift matters because it suggests the studio is not simply pausing the brand, but actively redrawing its future.
