After his trip to the Kármán line aboard Jeff Bezos’ second Blue Origin flight in October, Star Trek legend William Shatner will be the focus of an Amazon Prime documentary special debuting next week.

A one-hour special debuting on Amazon’s Prime Video service on December 15, Shatner in Space documents the actor’s trip up to the edge of space earlier this fall aboard the highly-publicized Blue Origin flight; Shatner appeared via video at the normally-massive CCWP Worlds convention in Brazil today to announce the project.

Here’s the official announcement from Prime Video:

Shatner in Space, a One-Hour Special Documenting William Shatner’s Life-Changing Flight to Space, to Premiere December 15 on Prime Video

Prime Video and William Shatner today announced that Shatner in Space, a one-hour special, will premiere on Prime Video on Wednesday, December 15 in the U.S., Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, with additional territories launching in early 2022.

The announcement was first made by Mr. Shatner during a virtual panel for CCXP Worlds, the virtual version of the world’s largest fan convention in São Paulo, Brazil. The special details the events before, during, and after Shatner’s life-changing flight—which made him
the oldest person to ever travel to the cosmos—and the growing friendship between the Star Trek icon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, whose dreams of space travel, like many, were inspired by the original Star Trek series.

“My time in space was the most profound experience I could have ever imagined,” said Shatner. “This special documenting my journey gives a dramatic view of that experience, and my hope is that it inspires the world to see we must go to space to save Earth.”

Shatner in Space is produced by Amazon Studios, Blue Origin, Film 45, Jason Ehrlich Productions, and Bright Spot Content.

Sadly, one of Shatner’s fellow passengers on the flight, tech company founder Glen M. de Vries died in a plane crash just weeks after the Blue Origin launch; it’s unknown at how much focus the other three passengers on Shatner’s flight will get in this one-hour special.

Shatner in Space will debut on Amazon’s Prime Video service on Wednesday. December 15.
