Now we know that he won’t be an active executive producer or contribute creatively for at least the first season.
He’ll still get an executive producer credit, and his influence will still be felt in the new series as he is the person responsible for crafting the arc for the 13-episode first season.
He just won’t contribute to anything that hasn’t already been finished.
Bryan Fuller’s reveal that he’s no longer involved in production comes as a big disappointment after earlier reports indicated that he’d still be on board with Star Trek: Discovery, just with a smaller and less hands-on role.
