Michael Dorn has in fact been attempting to make a Worf-centric “Star Trek” series a reality for quite some time. In 2015, the actor made the rounds with press touting his concept for a show that would feature Worf as the captain of his own starship. Yet in what became an increasingly ironic situation, Dorn was notably absent from the first two seasons of “Star Trek: Picard,” even as his former castmates filed through for various cameos. Even those who hadn’t asked for another Starfleet posting were present, with Data actor Brent Spiner playing both his original android and its inventor Noonien Soong in Season 1 and an ancestor of Soong in Season 2.
But as Season 3 of “Picard” aims to send Stewart off from the “Star Trek” franchise and the towering legacy of Jean-Luc on a high note, Dorn is back in the fold. However, his character’s arc in the final season of “Picard” effectively overwrites the idea he conceived for a Worf-centric show. “Interestingly enough,” Dorn told Trek Movie, “what I envisioned was quite different than what we have seen. And so I would have to go back and rework that whole pilot that I pitched.”
So what would Dorn base a prospective Worf show around? “It’s funny,” he said, “the only thing that I think would be their beginning point or their jumping-off point is that Worf has gray hair. You start there, and then you go from there.”
