Well it sure seems that CBS is nabbing the best talent from Star Trek history, as writer-director Nicholas Meyer, who brought Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, and Star Trek IV: The Undiscovered Country to the big screen, is now set to join 2017’s CBS All Access television series.

Said showrunner Bryan Fuller, via The Hollywood Reporter:

Nicholas Meyer chased Kirk and Khan ’round the Mutara Nebula and ’round Genesis’ flames, he saved the whales with the Enterprise and its crew, and waged war and peace between Klingons and the Federation. We are thrilled announce that one of Star Trek’s greatest storytellers will be boldly returning as Nicholas Meyer beams aboard the new Trek writing staff.

This is another big-name acquisition for the upcoming series, and one that’s sure to give fans another ray of hope for this new show.
