Star Trek: Discoveryoriginally took place a decade before the events ofStar Trek: The Original Series, following the voyages of the USS Discovery as they “encounter new worlds and civilizations, delving into familiar themes and expanding upon an incident that has been talked about within the franchise’s universe, but never fully explored.” That changed with the current season, which saw the crew flung into the far future.
Kurtzman and Paradise serve as co-showrunners and executive produceStar Trek: Discoverywith Heather Kadin, Jenny Lumet, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Olatunde Osunsanmi, Rod Roddenberry, and Trevor Roth.
