Not so mad (actually kind of gentle) Genius Bryan Fuller has actually talked to Entertainment Weekly, of all places, about leaving his gig as showrunner of CBS’s new version of Star Trek. We found it on the interwebs…and we also found it “fascinating.”
Bryan Fuller on his Star Trek: Discovery exit: ‘I got to dream big’
by James Hibberd
Bryan Fuller candidly discusses his exit as showrunner from Star Trek: Discoveryin this week’s Entertainment Weekly — including his original ambitious pitch to CBS All Access.
The Hannibal and Pushing Daisies showrunner initially wasn’t envisioning a single Trek series, but multiple serialized anthology shows that would begin with Star Trek: Discovery (a prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series), journey through the eras of Captain James T. Kirk and Captain Jean Luc Picard, and then go beyond to a time in Trek that’s never been seen before.
