Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Cirroc Lofton describes his dream scenario for a DS9 revival. Lofton portrayed Jake Sisko, the son of Captain Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks), for all 7 seasons of DS9. Since 2019, Lofton has made a new impact on Star Trek by hosting his hit podcast, The 7th Rule. Founded with his partner, the late Aron Eisenberg, who played Nog on DS9, and producer Ryan T. Husk, The 7th Rule reviewed every Deep Space Nine episode and is now reviewing every episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Speaking exclusively to Screen Rant, Cirroc Lofton promoted The Sisko Day (May 22nd), which he and The 7th Rule are establishing as an annual fans' celebration of Captain Sisko and DS9. When asked about his dream scenario for returning to Star Trek and reprising Jake Sisko again, Lofton described a full-on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine reunion. Read his quote below:
When you are in the trenches with people, you'll always have a special bond with them. And my guys are the Deep Space Nine cast. From Avery Brooks to Armin Shimerman to Nana [Visitor] to Terry Farrell. [Alexander] Siddig, Michael Dorn… that's who I want on my cast. So if I had an option, it would be to bring the Deep Space Nine crew back. If we're just going to write a blank check here, I'd want to work with my DS9 guys. And that also includes some of the people that are on the other side of the camera. The writers, the DPs, everybody. So if I could have it my way, that would be how I would like it to be. Bring as many people back from Deep Space Nine as possible.
