Hannibal’s Bryan Fuller will be the next showrunner of the new Star Trek series which is expected to start airing in 2017 on CBS.
Bryan Fuller is also well known as the creator of acclaimed, but short lived shows like Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies and Wonderfalls.
He isn’t a complete Star Trek noob though, he has worked as a writer on Star Trek: Voyager and Deep Space 9. Exciting!
