Plans now call for Academy Award winner Akiva Goldsman to join the show’s creative team alongside Fuller and fellow executive producers Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts. Fuller chimed in on Twitter with an update that suggests Berg and Harberts will both be sharing the Captain’s chair. Producer Bryan Fuller Leaves Star Trek Discovery Series:
