As readers of the Gadget Helpline will know we have been eagerly pursuing any info or rumours surrounding the secretive new Star Trek series set for launch on CBS All Access and Netflix in 2017.
“What the new series has to do is remind the audience about the message of Star Trek”, Fuller said.
Also interesting is the way in which a line dissects the Starfleet emblem, as the Star Trek: Discovery logo materializes at the end of the teaser. Each episode will debut on Netflix in the United Kingdom within 24 hours of its U.S. broadcast, it has been confirmed.
He didn’t elaborate, but “non-episodic” series typically have story arcs which run across a whole season or even longer, unlike the previous five “Star Trek” shows, which were mainly made up of self-contained episodes. The iconic and influential global franchise will return to television for the first time since 2005 with a new ship, new characters and new missions, while embracing the same ideology and hope for the future that inspired a generation. “It’s disturbing. Politicians could learn from Star Trek”.
Not only is there a brand new ship in the Star Trek universe that’s been built to carry on a new mission, but it also has a brand new name: Discovery.
What do you think about the Star Trek: Discovery reveals from SDCC? This lets the creators structure stories “like a novel”, as they won’t need to worry about viewers missing episodes.
The series will premiere in Australia on Netflix in January.
It was Fuller’s presence that suggested fans might learn more about the upcoming CBS series because he has been brought in to serve as executive producer on the new Star Trek series.
Fuller noted the writers and producers are now working on casting “Discovery”, writing the first three scripts and constructing the show’s sets in Toronto.
