Bryan Fuller's writing career has come full circle.
The Pushing Daisies and Hannibal creator, who started out writing for Star
Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager TV shows, is now returning to
co-create and executive produce the new Star Trek series currently being
developed over at CBS. The new show is slated to premiere in 2017.
"My very first experience of Star
Trek is
my oldest brother turning off all the lights in the house and flying his model
of a D7 Class Klingon Battle Cruiser through the darkened halls. Before seeing
a frame of the television series, the Star Trek universe
lit my imagination on fire," said Fuller. "It is without exaggeration
a dream come true to be crafting a brand new iteration of Star Trek with
fellow franchise alum Alex Kurtzman and boldly going where no Star
Trek series
has gone before."

"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, who will executive produce the new alongside Fuller. "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."
The Star Trek revival will premiere in January 2017,
and won't affect Fuller's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods novel for
Starz, or the revival of Amazing Stories.
