Star Trek: Discovery gets a third season and a fifth showrunner
CBS All Access
has announced that
Star Trek: Discovery will return for a third season, and that Michelle Paradise (one of the show’s co-executive producers
) will join Alex Kurtzman as a co-showrunner.
Paradise marks the fifth official showrunner for
Discovery, following Bryan Fuller (
who left the project), Aaron Harberts and Gretchen J. Berg (
fired over budget disputes and complaints of abuse from multiple writers), and Alex Kurtzman (current showrunner and lead architect of CBS’
Star Trek TV projects
for the foreseeable future). Hopefully, the show will finally enter a slightly more stable phase of production in season 3, after all its previous behind-the-scenes drama.
