Worf is one of the most popular characters in the Star Trek Universe. The Klingon appeared in two series’: The Next Generation and Deep Space 9 as well as in some movies and in the video games. Now, Michael Dorn, the face beneath the ridges, is promoting his idea of a Worf-centric spinoff.
During a panel held in Keystone Comic Con in Philadelphia, Dorn has told the crowd he wrote a pilot for the proposed show in 2012-2013 and he is trying to make it happen since then. “it’s been going like this: a lot of interest, no interest, a lot of interest, no interest,” said Dorn.
Dorn has spoken about this idea in the past claiming in interviews that such a spinoff would be a good fit for the Discovery era of the franchise. “I always thought the Klingon Empire was a great empire to write about because it’s Shakespearean,” claimed Dorn.
According to Dorn, the new series will focus on Worf and his ship. Each episode as in The Original Series and The Next Generation will be self-contained with a beginning and a conclusion.
Maybe now when Captain Picard is getting his own show the tormented Klingon will also get his wish.
