Summary
The announcement of the series in press release[citation needed] announced only the initial format and did not describe any setting or subtitle for the show, which will be the first televised Star Trek series to be released in over a decade. Subsequent press for the show has named VOY and DS9 writer-producer Bryan Fuller as the showrunner,[citation needed] Rod Roddenberry as a producer[1] and director-writer Nicholas Meyer as a member of the writing staff.[citation needed]
The first trailer for the series was released in May 2016, with a new logo font for the Star Trek title and the tagline "New Crews. New Villains. New Heroes. New Worlds.".[2]
In July 2016, a new trailer for the series debuted for Comic-Con, showing the new USS Discovery (NCC-1031) and the title of the show, with showrunner Fuller teasing that the show would take place in an unspecified era of the original Star Trek timeline.[3]
In January 2017, StarTrek.com confirmed that Ambassador Sarek will appear.[4]
CBS has stated that Discovery is looking at a "sometime late summer, early fall" release date. [1]
