Earlier this month it was revealed that Star Trek: Discovery would be changing directions in it’s second season with the removal of its showrunners. Screenwriter and executive producer Alex Kurtzman was named Discovery‘s new showrunner, and now Kurtzman will also be at the helm of additional Star Trek television projects. Kurtzman has signed a development deal with CBS TV that will keep him under contract through 2023.
