The “Star Trek” series currently in the works at CBS Television Studios has enlisted Nicholas Meyer, the director of “Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan” to write and produce the new series, TheWrap has learned.
Meyer, who also co-wrote “Star Trek IV” and co-wrote and directed “Star Trek VI,” will serve as a writer and consulting producer on the new series that will premiere in 2017 on CBS All Access.
“Nicholas Meyer chased Kirk and Khan ’round the Mutara Nebula and ’round Genesis’ flames, he saved the whales with the Enterprise and its crew, and waged war and peace between Klingons and the Federation,”ย series showrunner Bryan Fuller said.
