20 Big Questions About 2017's Most Hotly Anticipated TV Shows

10. When Will It Get Released? - Star Trek Discovery

2017 TV Questions
CBS

On one hand, Star Trek Discovery is a very exciting proposition. It's been years since there was last a Trek TV series, and it seems a fitting time for it to return to the small screen. Setup by the excellent Bryan Fuller, it would take things back to before The Original Series, and tell diverse stories set in that timeline.

But then Fuller left the project, it was significantly delayed, writers changed late in the day, and the release date was pushed back again to an unspecified time.

Not all of this is totally uncommon, of course, but for it to be happening at this advanced stage, and that it may be going in a different direction from the one Fuller originally envisaged, isn't great to hear. We still don't know when we'll get to see Discovery, or just how concerned we should be about it right now.
