However, if plans come to fruition, January 2017 will bring a new chapter to the Star Trek saga back to the small screen. Titled Discovery, very little is known what the show will be about, the time frame for which the stories will take place or even who will be cast in whatever roles are being scripted. Sounds promising for a show about to air in less than six months.
This past July at Comic-Con in San Diego, a teaser trailer for the new series was shown. The footage contained what some could consider "dark" music and a unusual ship being launched from a hollowed out asteroid. However, it was later reported the ship, as depicted, was a "proof of concept" and the design might not even make the final cut before airing.
All of this is very cryptic and confusing to me. Okay, they settled on a title, very good. Then, show a ship they may/may not use? Okay....no clue. No news (at the time of this posting) of any of the actors, hints at the time frame this will all take place (rumors have it somewhere between 2161 and 2293, not officially confirmed)....just a lot of nothing.
Well, that last part isn't totally honest. Here is what is known for sure, a guy named Bryan Fuller is one of the show's creators, Alex Kurtzman is the other. Star Trek veteran Nicholas Meyer has signed on as a writer/consulting producer and Rod Roddenberry as a producer. It will take place in the "Prime Universe", so it will have a different look and feel than Abrams' reboot movies.
No doubt more will be revealed as time goes on, including something on or around August 10th (as the rumor goes).
