Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry

Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry is the guardian of the Roddenberry legacy. He champions the brand’s timeless and universal ideals to new generations through inspiring science fiction productions as well as philanthropic endeavors.

As the son of legendary science fiction producer Gene Roddenberry, whose Star Trek series changed television as well as the world, Roddenberry has followed in his father’s footsteps facilitating a world where humanity works together for the greater good.

In 2006, Roddenberry became Chief Executive Officer of Roddenberry Entertainment, a science fiction leader with a tradition of groundbreaking entertainment. Roddenberry Entertainment builds on the best of Gene Roddenberry’s work and continues to pioneer the development of a multimedia portfolio of smart and provocative science fiction that incorporates graphic novels, podcasts, television and film projects, including the critically-acclaimed documentary Trek Nation, which details Roddenberry’s 10-year exploration of his father’s life. 

Roddenberry serves as an executive producer of the Emmy-nominated Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which debuted its third season on Paramount+ in July as well as Star Trek: Lower Decks. He also serves as an executive producer of the newest podcast series which launched in 2025 on Star Trek Day, Star Trek: Khan. Roddenberry also created the audio podcast series Mission Log, the objective of which is to analyze and explore Star Trek by journeying through each and every episode. 

Over the past many years Roddenberry has been inspired to fully embrace Star Trek’s vision and invest in our future. One expression of this was the founding of The Roddenberry Foundation in 2010. The Roddenberry Foundation funds paradigm-changing solutions to critical global issues with the objective of making Star Trek’s future a reality.
