Yeah, considering he already has another show due out early next year (ie American Gods), I think this will benefit Discovery in that it will give him some time to focus solely on it rather than splitting his time. In fact, I have to wonder if that's not part of the reason production on Discovery has been so slow as it is.

I guess CBS could be waiting to see how their fall season of big brother does on the all access, seeing if live tv ratings of big brother will transform into paying for the all access app.

Bryan Fuller is stepping back from Star Trek: Discovery
Sure, they couch it in "He's real busy!", but even the article references that they are nowhere with casting on this.
I try to stay out of the SJW fights on the internet, but even I have to admit they seem to be more concerned with scoring diversity points than actually getting something people want to see out the door.

They added Doug Jones (Abe Sapien from Hellboy) to play a science officer of a new alien species.
They also announced Anthony Rapp (Mark Cohen from RENT) will be another science officer (wait... more than one person can do science on a starship?!?!) who is an astromycologist aka space-shroom-guy.
This could be cool what with a) natural comedy of having a fungus expert whose work will almost certainly NOT be a core aspect of whatever mission they are on and b) show a more realistic view of fundamental research where you stay very busy yet don't make miracles happen daily.
