Ira Steven Behr was executive producer of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, as well as a writer of several episodes. He was also a producer on Star Trek: The Next Generation from 1989 to 1990. With writing partners Robert Hewitt Wolfe and, later, Hans Beimler, he possibly deserves the most credit for the Deep Space Nine Dominion War story arc and the series’ approach to characterization and story.

Behr is currently working on a documentary about Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and it is expected for release in 2017. The documentary will see Behr reunite the writing staff and actors to discuss the impact and influence of the series, as well as develop the story of the first episode of the “eighth season”.
