April 15, 2019, Headline News Release. David W. Hill, executive producer of Star Trek: Henglaar, M.D. posted on their Facebook page on Monday, "It is with great sorrow that I must announce that Star Trek: Henglaar, M.D. has been canceled.

This deadline has been extended slightly and offers have been made to Hidden Frontier Productions to maintain an archive site and the continued availability of the films and audio dramas online.

To mark the dimming of the running lights of the flagship website of this iconic family of Star Trek fan productions, we at Star Trek Reviewed are updating our old blog pages to our new database-driven site. What better way to start this off with than with Star Trek: Henglaar M.D., an audio drama series that follows an irascible Tellarite doctor, played by John Whiting, who appeared in the first episode of the first season of Hidden Frontier! The series follows Henglaar and his team of young recruits aboard the hospital ship USS Cole as they tackle medical mysteries in the Beta Quadrant and beyond.
