Star Trek: Discovery will take off again for CBS All Access.

The subscription video-on-demand platform has handed out a third-season renewal for the cornerstone of its rapidly growing Star Trek franchise. Additionally, Discovery writer Michelle Paradise — who joined the series in season two — has been promoted to serve as co-showrunner for season three. She will continue to work alongside franchise captain Alex Kurtzman on the series.

Paradise becomes the third new showrunner to pilot Discovery. Kurtzman, who co-created the series alongside Bryan Fuller, took over for Aaron Harberts and Gretchen Berg after the duo were dismissed early in production of season two. Harberts and Berg replaced Fuller, who was also let go before Discovery's debut. Kurtzman and Paradise will serve as co-showrunners.

Discovery is the flagship of the Star Trek universe for CBS All Access, which, like other streamers, does not release viewership information. The platform, under the oversight of Kurtzman, is also developing a Michelle Yeoh-led spinoff, and series including animated comedy Star Trek: Lower Decks, a Patrick Stewart-led Picard live-action drama and others, including an animated comedy for Nickelodeon and a younger-skewing Starfleet Academy entry from The O.C. duo Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage and other animated offerings in the works.

Well even if DSC is still not a rival to the Expanse or DS9, it improves....

And it have enough success to have convinced CBS to invest more in Trek with different show. It's not so sad.

I really wish Star Trek could be let go.

Again, I repeat, unsubstantiated but reported to Doomcock by two seperate people (one of which is his normal inside source) and the other from an email from someone who sounds like they are employed a c{the}bs as well. But possibly not. Quien sabe?

However, they persist with the stupid ship and the spore drive. They have come up with a technobabble reason to not use it anymore, which is something. But we still have people coming back from the dead because of it, an engineer with special powers because of it. Plus a crew containing an android and races we've never seen before. Not to mention Spock having a sister and no brother and all the other things.

Hence the reference to Talos IV (but nothing of general order 7, yet).

From the change of uniform, I'm going to gather that Christopher Pike is on Discovery to stay in the center seat, which , if true, lends credence to my argument that STD is yet another seperate timeline/universe from the jar jar verse and the prime verse.
