The Shatner Project, William Shatner‘s latest television show, will debut later this month.

Announced last spring, The Shatner Project is a six-part series focusing on the remodel of Shatner’s own residence.

“Thursday, October 23, at 10 p.m. ET/PT, Shatner stars in a new leading role: project manager of his own home remodel. The six-episode series chronicles William and his wife Elizabeth as they boldly transform their time-warped house into a shining star.

“‘I bought this house when I finished Star Trek. I jogged by it every day and thought it was beautiful,’ said Shatner. ‘One hundred years ago, the original home was a one-room hunting lodge. Over the decades, it was expanded into a family home and then I bought it in the 1970s.’

“The premiere episode features the Shatners, with the help of a designer and a construction crew, as they gut the kitchen for a complete remodel. After the removal of the old, creaky appliances and a ‘hateful’ ice machine, William and Elizabeth get in on the action by wielding sledgehammers to help demolish the old cabinets, countertops and tile backsplashes. The new kitchen — much to William’s disbelief — features multiple ovens and refrigerators.

“‘The reason I want more appliances is because we entertain a lot,’ said Elizabeth. ‘We often have upward of thirty people here at a time, and because I do all of the cooking, Bill isn’t exactly understanding this request.’

“During the series, produced by Scott Sternberg Productions, the couple renovates their 1970s-style California home, including the front patio area in order to create the perfect place for big family parties, as well as remodel Shatner’s favorite hangout spot, the media room.”
