Byan Fuller, who stepped down as
Star Trek: Discovery showrunner
in October, recently discussed his departure along with a short description of the new series.
“I couldn’t do what needed to be done in the time that they needed it done,” Fuller told the

He went on to describe the show, which launches on CBS and on CBS All Access in May, in three words.

He went on to discuss the possibility of rejoining Discovery in the future, saying “If they need me, they have my number and they can call me,”.
