So we look at each season as one novel,” said Fuller, who wrote for both _Deep Space Nine_ and _Voyager_. The panel, which celebrated 50 years of Star Trek in popular culture, also featured a new trailer for the CBS All Access series. In it a new Enterprise-style ship is shown and slowly revealed to be the USS Discovery. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4420736/star-trek-discovery-new-show/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4420736/star-trek-discovery-new-show/"},"headline":"Here’s the Major Way the New Star Trek Series Will Differ From the Original","datePublished":"2016-07-24T00:36:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T23:29:51.724Z","description":"The new series will premiere in 2017","url":"https://time.com/4420736/star-trek-discovery-new-show/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt541a5163ce2d95d8/69889f05cd1bba8dd57019e7/screen-shot-2016-07-23-at-8-30-18-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt541a5163ce2d95d8/69889f05cd1bba8dd57019e7/screen-shot-2016-07-23-at-8-30-18-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2016-07-23 at 8.30.18 PM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4420736/star-trek-discovery-new-show/","name":"Here’s the Major Way the New Star Trek Series Will Differ From the Original"}}]}] ```
