Chief writer Nicholas Meyer said that the "Star Trek" 2017 TV series will different from the previous ones. Executive producer Rod Roddenberry is hopeful that this new series will do justice to the story franchise.
According to Trek News, Meyer said that the upcoming TV series will be a different series compared to the previous ones and it will go in a different direction. It was Bryan Fuller, the director of this new TV series, who got Meyer interested because he has good ideas that are innovative and different.
Roddenberry said he is hopeful that this new TV series will be successful when it comes out in 2017. He added that he is a fan of the fans that keep the lore of the story alive and he is interested in the group called Star Trek Continues. He is confident that Meyer and Fuller will make the upcoming TV series great, and the Trekkie fans will love it.
Meyer is an experienced writer of the story, but he only has knowledge about the films. He co-wrote and directed both "The Undiscovered Country" and "Wrath of Khan," but only co-wrote "The Voyage Home." He has never written stories for TV shows, but he believes his experience with different "Star Trek" films can let him create a great script for the upcoming TV series.
Fuller previously worked on "Star Trek: Voyager" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," and has become the director and co-creator of this new upcoming TV series this coming 2017, which will premiere on CBS All access. He is a big fan of the whole franchise since he was a child.
In other news, CBS announced that this "Star Trek" TV series was coming back last November 2015, but they clarified that the episodes will not be airing until 2017, Cinema Blend reported. CBS CEO Les Moonves explained that Viacom, which owns Paramount Pictures, had to launch their film first, and the TV series will have to wait for six months before launching it. The two companies did not want the community to be confused.
