Star Trek: Discovery is a prequel series set ten years before the original Star Trek TV show.
I think the idea might be that there are more Star Trek series [further down the line].” Kurtzman’s suggestion that Star Trek could expand beyond Discovery comes hot on the heels of the news that veteran Star Trek writer/director Nicholas Meyer is reportedly developing a prequel series revolving around Khan, arguably the franchise’s greatest villain.
If the show is a success, then it’s encouraging to know Star Trek could build on Discovery and use it as the foundation for a new era.
Star Trek: Discovery debuts on CBS All Access on Sunday, September 24.
