Actress Nicole deBoer Makes Her Debut As The First New Character Ever To Join In The Series History

Hollywood, August 21, 1998 - Paramount's Star Trek: Deep Space Nine the #1 first-run drama series in national syndication, has entered its seventh and final season. Joining the series for its last season is Canadian actress Nicole deBoer, whose addition makes her the first new character ever to join Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in the series' history. The seventh season premiere episode, entitled "Image in the Sand," marks de Boer's introduction as the young, exotic Starfleet Ensign Ezri Dax, who is the new host of a three hundred year-old symbiont previously in the body of Jadzia Dax (portrayed for six years by Terry Farrell). "Image in the Sand," written by Ira Steven Behr and Hans Beimler will air the week of September 28, 1998 in national syndication.

"Like Star Trek: The Next Generation, we had always intended to tell the story of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in the span of seven years," states series Creator/Executive Producer Rick Berman. "As we embark on the seventh and final season, we look forward to the challenge of concluding this important chapter in Star Trek history." He further comments, "The new character Ezri Dax should add an intriguing element to this final season. Her unexpected struggle to cope with seven newly acquired identities should bring us some fascinating story arcs, as well as a great deal of humor."

The seventh season premiere episode finds Sisko (series star Avery Brooks) attempting to make sense of Jadzia Dax's death, as well as the fate of his own future (as seen in last season's finale episode "Tears of the Prophets," which ranked as the #1 first-run hour drama among all adults the week of its premiere June 15-22, 1998). He receives a vision from the Prophets, who were believed to be dead, and is led to the discovery of a long help family secret.

As a former series regular on the Sci-Fi Channel series "Mission Genesis," Nicole deBoer is no stranger to the world of science fiction. One of Canada's leading young actresses, deBoer recently completed work on the CBS-TV series "Dooley Gardens," her fifth consecutive Canadian series. She can also be seen in the soon-to-be-released feature film "Cube," winner of the Toronto Film Festival Award this past year.

For the 1997-98 season Star Trek: Deep Space Nine received six Emmy nominations and ranked as the third most nominated drama series on television, the only syndicated series to garner such acclaim. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine shares it's third place ranking with "Chicago Hope" and "Homicide: Life on the Streets." This year, only "E.R.," "X-Files" and "NYPD Blue" had more Emmy nominations.

Since its premiere in January 1993, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has garnered four Emmy Awards, 26 Emmy nominations and won numerous accolades, including two Hugo Awards for "Outstanding Writing for a Television Series" (1995-96, 1996-97) and the 1996 Screen Actors Guild for "Outstanding Portrayal of the American Scene," which it shared with the other Star Trek series.

Continuing in the 32-year tradition of Star Trek, the seventh season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine promises intrigue and suspense, feature film quality special effects and complex character development. The Emmy-Award winning syndicated drama series stars: Avery Brooks as Captain Benjamin Sisko; Rene Auberjonois as Chief of Security Odo; Nicole deBoer as Ensign Ezri Dax; Michael Dorn as Lieutenant Commander Worf; Cirroc Lofton as Jake Sisko; Colm Meaney as Chief of Operation Miles O'Brien; Armin Shimerman as the Ferengi, Quark; Alexander Siddig as Dr. Julian Bashir and Nana Visitor as Colonel Kira Nerys.

-------------------------- (CONTENTS) --------------------------- 1) Berman elaborates (a little) on Trek X news RealAudio version: http://home.interstat.net/~tomveil/tngm.ram (* = See URL in the URLS section) (+ = Especially spoiling) ------------------------------ (1) ------------------------------ BERMAN ELABORATES (A LITTLE) ON TREK X PLANS Another studio honcho--Rick Berman, this time--does a little dancing around the topic of Star Trek X, in issue 123 of the "Star Trek Communicator." Thanks to TrekWeb*, and thanks to Gustavo Leao for the word: Where are you in the process of making another Next Generation feature film? All I can say is that we do not have a film planned for the fall of 2000, which would be a two-year hiatus like the last two were. As to whether there will be a film the year after that and what it will be about and who it will feature is all in discussion right now. The next film has not been planned significantly enough to say that it will definitely not be a "Next Generation" movie. I can't imagine that it will take more than a couple of years to get another film in production. I don't think the fans have to worry about not getting another Star Trek movie and I think they're going to get another Star Trek series in the couple of years. We are in development on it now. The new series is going to be substantially different from what we've seen. My instincts tell me that the new series will come before the next film. [Excerpt from response to, "How is this time a turning point for Star Trek?"] I think that the next steps we take, which are steps that I am involved with now, are very important. We have to give our audience something new and fresh but, at the same time, give them something that is Star Trek. ----------------------------- (URLS) ---------------------------- "Eon Magazine": http://www.eonmagazine.com Warp 11: http://warp11.trekzone.net/ TrekWeb: http://st-insurrection.com/articles/1999/06/21/929996216.html -------------------------- (MISC.
