Star Trek Stars Unite for New Irish Crime Drama

Kate Mulgrew and Colm Meaney, both prominent figures from the Star Trek franchise, are joining forces for a new crime series titled 'The Yank.' This six-part drama is currently in production in Conamara, Galway, Ireland. Mulgrew is set to play a NYPD detective who returns to her family's home following a distressing event. Upon her return, she finds herself drawn into a murder investigation and collaborates with local authorities to uncover the truth behind the death of a climate activist.

The series was conceived by writer Eithne Verling, who developed the script with Mulgrew specifically in mind. Verling and Mulgrew met when the actress was vacationing in Galway. Fans are eager to see this collaboration, especially as Meaney did not participate in the recent Star Trek television era. The article expresses a strong hope that 'The Yank' will be picked up by a U.S. streamer or network, providing a compelling alternative for viewers during a perceived lull in new Star Trek content.
