Bryan Fuller Stepping Back From Showrunner Role on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’
"Fuller, who will remain an executive producer, will still be involved in breaking stories, and the show will continue to follow his vision for the universe that this latest “Trek” series will inhabit. Writer-director Akiva Goldsman is also expected to join “Discovery” in a top creative role."
Well, *gulp* at least it's not a total departure...
