Over at StarTrek.com the expected release date for Bryan Fuller’s upcoming new Star Trek series Star Trek: Discovery has been announced. This new show is expected to arrive in May 2017, when we’ll see the first Star Trek series in ten years warp onto our screens.
Star Trek: Discovery to premiere on the paid service CBS All Access, then following this on CBS Television Network, finally then across Netflix. This latest feather in the cap of Hannibal, Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, American Gods wonderman Bryan Fuller, who has a love for all things Trek and already has his name across a good cluster of previous Trek stories, will also see Nicholas Meyer join the circle, who all Star Trek fans know was the director behind Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
A statement was released from Alex Kurtman and Bryan Fuller which reads:“Bringing Star Trek back to television carries a responsibility and mission: to connect fans and newcomers alike to the series that has fed our imaginations since childhood. We aim to dream big and deliver, and that means making sure the demands of physical and post-production for a show that takes place entirely in space, and the need to meet an air date, don’t result in compromised quality. Before heading into production, we evaluated these realities with our partners at CBS and they agreed: Star Trek deserves the very best, and these extra few months will help us achieve a vision we can all be proud of.”
