Los Angeles, Feb 10 (PTI) "Hannibal" creator Bryan Fuller is taking control of the new "Star Trek" TV series.
CBS has appointed Fuller as showrunner for the reboot of the sci-fi classic. He will serve as executive producer along with Alex Kurtzman, reported Ace Showbiz.
Growing up as a fan of the popular franchise, Fuller began his career writing for "Star Trek: Voyager" (1997-2001) and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1997).
"My very first experience of 'Star Trek' is my oldest brother turning off all the lights in the house and flying his model of a D7 Class Klingon Battle Cruiser through the darkened halls. Before seeing a frame of the television series, the 'Star Trek' universe lit my imagination on fire," Fuller said.
"It is without exaggeration a dream come true to be crafting a brand-new iteration of 'Star Trek' with fellow franchise alum Alex Kurtzman and boldly going where no 'Star Trek' series has gone before."
Kurtzman, meanwhile, is a writer and producer on 2009's "Star Trek" and 2013's "Star Trek Into Darkness".
