CBS Entertainment president Glen Geller has confirmed that the network has no creative input into the new Star Trek TV series which will be appearing on CBS All Access next year.

Speaking at the TCAs, Geller said, “I don’t have anything to do with it. It really is for All Access. While the network will be broadcasting the pilot, I actually can’t answer any creative questions about it. I’m looking forward to seeing the new Star Trek. I think it’s going to be an exciting project.”

He also denied fan rumours that the series had been planned for the network then shunted over to All Access. “It was always designed for a streaming service,” Gellar said. “I’m just thrilled we get to be part of the launch. We’ll broadcast the launch. I’m not sure about the plans creatively for new characters.”
