The writers’ room also includes Akela Cooper ( The 100, Luke Cage) and Davy Perez ( Supernatural), who will also serve as co-executive producers. Goldsman, Kurtzman, and Lumet will serve as executive producers in addition to Henry Alonso Myers ( The Magicians). When the series was announced, CBS revealed the series premiere was written by Akiva Goldsman with the story by Akiva Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman, and Jenny Lumet. It has previously been stated by the producers that Strange New Worlds will be more like traditional Star Trek shows, with an episodic structure and an optimistic tone. And even though they have 10 stories broken, that still means a lot of work has to be done to write the actual scripts. That would make it a bit shorter than the first two seasons of Star Trek: Discovery. Kurtzman’s comment could indicate that the first season of Strange New Worlds will comprise 10 episodes, just like the first season of Star Trek: Picard. But it was one of those shows that I think everybody came in with such enthusiasm and so much love. There are 10 stories broken, which is very exciting.
There is no date for release or production start, but Kurtzman also gave a brief update on progress for the writers’ room: Alex Kurtzman introducing the Star Trek Universe panel
