    The first recording session for the series took place at Filmation's studios in Reseda, California, and featured the entire cast together. This was the first time the cast had been reunited since the end of the original series. The cast recorded three episodes ("Beyond the Farthest Star", "Yesteryear", "More Tribbles, More Troubles"). After that, the cast would record their lines separately whenever their schedules permitted.
