William Shatner has been a television icon in the sci-fi sphere for more than half a decade thanks to his role as James T. Kirk in the Star Trek franchise. He has even left the planet in real life with a space flight back in 2021, but now he’s set to go out of this world with a new show on Fox. A new unscripted competition series called Stars on Mars is on the way this summer, with William Shatner as Mission Control.
Stars on Mars recruits celebrities to give up their glamorous lifestyles on Earth for some new challenges, although this show isn’t going to be on par with Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test and its brutal interrogation challenge. The stars will be “celebronauts” who will have to colonize and conquer their surroundings in a new galaxy, all while competing to be the last one standing. Shatner is on board as Mission Control, whose role will be delivering intergalactic tasks to the celebronauts on the red planet.
