Fuller has written for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, and Heroes, as well as scripting the upcoming American Gods pilot (see “Fuller and Green on 'American Gods'”).

The show will be executive produced by Alex Kurtzman (see “'Star Trek' Returns, via Streaming Service”). The series will premiere in January 2017 with a preview broadcast on CBS, then will have an exclusive run in the U.S. on CBS All Access.

“Bringing Star Trek back to television means returning it to its roots, and for years those roots flourished under Bryan’s devoted care,” said Kurtzman. “His encyclopedic knowledge of ‘Trek’ canon is surpassed only by his love for Gene Roddenberry’s optimistic future, a vision that continues to guide us as we explore strange new worlds.”
