"Star Trek: Discovery" paid an expensive production which is the same with the famous "Game of Thrones" which was budgeted at $6 million to $7 million per episode. The first season of this series will be set ten years ago from the start of this series.
Yahoo noted that the series will feature new crews, new villains, new heroes, and new worlds which suggest that viewers will discover more about the canon of the established "Star Trek" universe. Another teaser during San Diego Comic-con was released that the series will also feature about space traveling, the test flight of the U.S.S. Discovery base of operations for the cast.
Meanwhile, showrunner Bryan Fuller of "Hannibal'Pushing Daisies" has left the series. Fuller as reported by Ars Techica has been very busy with another project and he will be replaced by Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts. Berg and Harberts were both executive producers of "Star Trek: Discovery."
