TV & Movies 'Star Trek' film writer Alex Kurtzman will executive produce new show based on classic series Boldly going where it’s gone many times before (and will be syndicated
for eternity), _Star Trek _is poised to return to television with a new adventure for the first time since _Enterprise _wrapped up in May 2005, partially granting a wish that we’ve had for
years. According to _The Hollywood Reporter_, Alex Kurtzman — a writer and producer on 2009’s _Star Trek _and 2013’s _Star Trek Into Darkness_ — plans to double down on his commitment to the
franchise, conceiving and executive producing a show that reignites the serialized charm of Gene Roddenbery’s original series. TRENDING STORIES Loosely timed to the franchise’s 50th
anniversary next fall, Kurtzman’s as-yet-untitled new chapter has been picked up straight to series at CBS and is already scheduled for a blow-out television premiere in January 2017. From
there, subsequent episodes will air on the network’s VOD platform, CBS All Access. More details about the show are sure to trickle out over the course of the next 14 months, but one thing is
already clear: With Justin Lin’s _Star Trek _movie scheduled for July 22nd, 2016, Kurtzman’s show in the works and a fourth feature installment of the Chris Pine/Zachary Quinto era already
on the books for 2019, the final frontier has plenty of space still waiting to be explored.
