Star Trek Discovery | official trailer (2017) SDCC NCC-1031
Star Trek is returning to the small screen.
Side-by-side with the Hollywood movies, CBS is launching a brand new series of the classic show, and Comic-Con has offered us a first full look at what"s been planned.
At the 50th anniversary panel for the show in Hall H, moderator Bryan Fuller - best known as the man behind Hannibal - took the opportunity to reveal a few choice tidbits on his upcoming Star Trek TV series.
The biggest reveal was the show"s title, Star Trek: Discovery, which also pointed to a major change for the show; a brand new ship, the USS Discovery.
It"s the ship seen leaving an asteroid hanger in the brand new teaser, which reveals its design to be an interesting mix of the traditional Federation starship and elements of a Klingon Bird of Prey; though what this may mean in terms of ship"s crew is still entirely up for debate.
"Its not going to be episodic," Fuller also revealed at the panel. "Were going to be telling stories like a novel." It"s a bold move away from previous iterations, in which singular episodes were largely self-contained in their stories; but the move makes sense, considering drama television has largely moved towards telling singular narratives over the course of a series.

"The new series has to remind audiences the message of Star Trek continuing to push boundaries. We do have to celebrate a progression of our species because right now we need a little help," Fuller continued; while confirming the series will take place in the "prime" timeline of the television shows, as opposed to J.J. Abrams" cinematic universe.
Star Trek: Discovery will debut on the CBS network before moving to its All Access streaming service. Netflix has, however, signed a deal to secure international rights to the show.
