One of the most popular franchises - "Star Trek" - will hit the silver screen in an all-new avatar on early 2017.
This will be more exciting for the Star Trek fans because the news is coming that the "Hannibal" showrunner Bryan fuller shook hands with the "Star Trek" franchise to make this TV show a more thrilling one.
According to Alex Kurtzman, the infamous co-scriptwriter of the last two movies of this sci-fi adventure, he is now going to work in this too, alongside Fuller, to make it a grand success. Fuller, who is a lifelong fan of "Star Trek," expressed his excitement in an interview when asked about the news. "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," Fuller was quoted as saying. He also adds "Before seeing a frame of the television series, the Star Trek universe lit my imagination on fire," Vanity reported.
The showrunner of "Hannibal" also told that he cannot wait any longer, and for him, it is a dream come true to oversee a brand new series of this popular franchise. Fuller also commented that he will try to take it to the new heights with Kurtzman.
The all-new "Star Trek" series will start on January 2017, and will be premiering on CBS Network. It is said that all subsequent episodes of "Star Trek" will only be available via the company's All Access digital subscription service.
This is not the first time that "Star Trek" appeared on TV, as a "Star Trek" series titled "Star Trek: Enterprise" was aired in UPN Network. The sci-fi TV series premiered in September 2001, while its last episode was aired in May 2005. "Star Trek Enterprise" only ran for four seasons before it was cancelled. The cancellation of the TV series is said to be due to declining ratings.
The first "Star Trek" TV series, led by JJ Abrams, was somewhat a success, and now, it's Fuller's turn to show his miracles and reach new heights with this series.
