Bryan Fuller to observe Star Trek: Discovery from a safe distance
Production on Star Trek: Discovery has certainly been a bumpy ride for fans. With each exciting bit of news—Bryan Fuller’s the showrunner!—there’s been some kind of letdown, like, say, Bryan Fuller stepping down as showrunner. The Hannibal creator’s involvement has diminished considerably since news of his appointment, and now it looks like his role has all but ended. Fuller, whose schedule was just as cluttered with giving life to American Gods as it was revitalizing the Star Trek TV franchise, tells Newsweek that he’s essentially departed the series. He’ll retain an executive producer credit, and Star Trek: Discovery will move forward with the season arc he crafted, as well as the two episodes he already wrote. But Fuller says that, regrettably, he won’t have any more to do with the new series.
