Denise Crosby’s legendary Star Trek fandom documentary Trekkies is coming to Blu-ray this spring, as Shout! Factory revisits the film 25 years after its original release with a newly-remastered presentation and more.

While the film is only set to be released on the Blu-ray format, the new presentation will be from a 4K scan of the original film material for a hefty upgrade to the DVD release.

Here’s the official announcement from Shout! Factory:

Get ready to beam up to a galaxy where autograph hounds abound, dentists drill in Federation garb and the debate over “Trekkies” vs. “Trekkers” rages on with the release of Trekkies: 25th Anniversary Edition from Shout! Factory.

Available for the first time on Blu-ray May 24, 2022, the release features a new 4k scan restoration, as well as the new documentary featurette A Trek Back with the film’s narrator Denise Crosby and director Roger Nygard. Fans can pre-order their copies now by visiting ShoutFactory.com

Denise Crosby of Star Trek: The Next Generation hosts this often-hilarious documentary about the Star Trek “fan-nomenon.” Featuring interviews with hundreds of devoted fans and such Star Trek cast members as James Doohan, DeForest Kelley, Walter Koenig, Kate Mulgrew, Nichelle Nichols, Leonard Nimoy, Brent Spiner and George Takei, the film creates an entertaining and endearing portrait of the landmark series that has touched the lives of people around the world.

“We’re so thrilled to be celebrating the 25th anniversary of our film with this newly restored edition” said director Roger Nygard. Denise Crosby added, “We can’t wait for fans of this iconic series to re-visit, or discover for the first time, how generations of fans have been brought together via their shared loved of these stories.”

Crosby and Trekkies director Roger Nygard will also partake in a new interview feature, “The Trek Back,” where the pair revisit the film after a quarter-century and discuss how the documentary came together for its original 1997 release.

So far, there are no plans to revisit Trekkies 2, the 2004 sequel documentary which included fans outside the United States; as that movie was shot on early early digital video formats, a traditional remaster would seem unlikely.

Trekkies will beam down on Blu-ray May 24, 2022, and is available for preorder now from Shout! Factory; the film is also available from Amazon if you wish to support TrekCore with your purchase.
