　　"Bryan is a brilliant creative talent and passionate Star Trek fan, who has helped us chart an exciting course for the series," the statement continues. "We are all committed to seeing this vision through and look forward to premiering Star Trek: Discovery this coming May 2017.”

　　Variety says that its sources emphasized that CBS is happy with Fuller's material, but the network was unwilling to delay Discovery in order for Fuller to deal with his other projects. Fuller is currently working on Starz' upcoming drama series American Gods, while he's also gearing up for a reboot of Amazing Stories at NBC. Fuller previously wrote for Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

　　Taking over showrunning duties are executive producers Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts. Filming starts next month and is set to premiere in May. It was originally planned for January.
