Variety is reporting that Bryan Fuller will no longer server as showrunner for CBS reboot of Star Trek: Discovery.
Fuller will remain on as an executive producer and his vision will still guide the series as it moves forward. Executive producers Aaron Harberts and Gretchen Berg will take over showrunning duties. In addition, Akiva Goldsman reportedly will join the series in a high level role. Fuller acknowledged the change via Twitter.
“We are extremely happy with the creative direction of Star Trek: Discovery and the strong foundation that Bryan Fuller has helped us create for the series,” CBS TV said via statement.
“Due to Bryan’s other projects, he is no longer able to oversee the day-to-day of Star Trek, but he remains an executive producer, and will continue to map out the story arc for the entire season. Alex Kurtzman, co-creator and executive producer, along with Fuller’s producing partners and longtime collaborators, Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts, will also continue to oversee the show with the existing writing and producing team. Bryan is a brilliant creative talent and passionate Star Trek fan, who has helped us chart an exciting course for the series. We are all committed to seeing this vision through and look forward to premiering Star Trek: Discovery this coming May 2017.”
