Bryan Fuller is the showrunner for new Star Trek series

Hmmmm....not a fail! Interesting. Risky though. A female starship Captain who is a black female, also with the female First Officer who is totally hot? It might be tempted to add in a few Sex Trek episodes.
I posted this a few days ago in the Star Dreck thread.
Why would bringing in a showrunner with extensive Classic Trek creds be a fail? The cbs article title is highly misleading as the article itself is highly uninformative. This is more informative on Fuller:

You do make a point. But like we have seen in so many other things in so many other products in every category, pasting a well known name to something does not make the whole thing good. Let's face it...Leonard Nimoy in NuTrek was gratuitous and not essential. Shatner should be glad he has not been seen in that universe. But they should absolutely give him a cameo or two in the series if they want some cred.

My bad - perhaps I misinterpreted it because the way that CBS article was written.
There is no way CBS is clueless on what is needed for this show to be a success. I was searching on the internet for at least an hour reading the articles talking about it and everyone says the same thing: Nobody wants the NuTrek JJverse to be where it happens.

Well finally some (potentially) good news about the direction of Star Trek. I enjoyed Pushing Daisies and Hannibal, although the latter show got a bit too self-indulgent in season 3, as well as the pilot for Mockingbird Lane. Fuller certainly knows how to write a good story and how to improve on something mediocre, as his stint on Heroes proved. The show was great during its first season, completely lost direction starting with season 2, rose somewhat in quality when Fuller briefly returned in the back half of season 3, and then repeatedly started bashing its figurative head against a wall once he left again. And most importantly, Fuller is a fan of the real Star Trek and has actually written for DS9 and VOY so he's not just a NuTrek shill.
The only downside is that he seems to have great knack for getting all his shows cancelled at some point.

This is great. I'm encouraged by this guy's involvement, but I still have issues with *where* and *when* this show is supposed to be happening. I do not want a future timeframe within the JJverse where there is still no Vulcan and where Vulcans are emotional and horny and the Vulcan males have human girlfriends and the females are like T'Pol. I don't want Blingons or Kahn blood or transwarp beaming or mechanical phasers. Because of the last two NuTrek movies and the dumb trailer for the next one, I simply do not trust Trek yet.

Sadly I think that's where it's going to happen though.
If it does, it won't be Star Trek.

I just saw that CBS has made it available for people from around the world and just not the people in the US, so I might give this ago.
Im gonna definitely see it, but I am not paying for it first.
Okay, I am doing my homework here and and it looks like this Bryan Fuller thing gets muddy when you realize there is a Bryan Singer who was also given the eye for the new series. Bryan Fuller has given us great Trek already in Voyager and DS9 .More than a dozen good episodes in all. He knows Star Trek. I like what I see on his IMdB page too:

Whether or or not they do this in the new JJ Verse is really a make it or break it decision, whether CBS realizes it or not.
We have had no genuine Star Trek since 2009 and JJ. I think that this new Star Trek Beyond film is going to blow gas. If the new series is based in that new JJverse, it is doomed from the start. Paramount is not going to get the message until the next movie shows it is less successful than the last one, which is already less successful than the first.

Rumour about casting...Whether or or not they do this in the new JJ Verse is really a make it or break it decision, whether CBS realizes it or not.

Not to be negative, but whenever I hear someone mention 'innovative and different', I always like to approach with caution. Though, Nicholas Meyer did write The Wrath of Khan.
