CBS CEO Jim Lanzone has blamed Bryan Fuller‘s lack of “full-time commitment” for his dramatic departure from Star Trek: Discovery ahead of its May 2017 launch, per THR:
He deepened his commitment to American Gods [for Starz], the other show that he was making. Our time frame did not wind up [lining up] with the time frame of the show that he was already committed to. The good news is we have his entire vision for the show. He’s still the show’s creator. And Alex Kurtzman is still the executive producer. It’s essentially the same team, but his full-time commitment was not something we were able to secure.
Fuller has paid lip-service over returning to Star Trek: Discovery Season 2, should it get renewed.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the cancel/renew status of Star Trek: Discovery Season 2…
