Also executive producing are Heather Kadin of Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment President Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry, son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, and Roddenberry Entertainment COO Trevor Roth.
The upcoming Star Trek series centered on Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) will strike a much different tone than other entries in the series, both past and present.
The new Picard-centric Star Trek series is expected to debut on CBS All Access sometime in 2019.
Kurtzman will executive produce the new series alongside newly-appointed Discovery executive producer James Duff, former Discovery executive producer Akiva Goldsman (The Dark Tower), Michael Chabon (Spider-Man 2) and Star Trek: Voyager and Discovery writer Kirsten Beyer.
