CBS Fires Two More Star Trek: Discovery Producers

CBS has fired Star Trek: Discovery executive producers Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts after budget overruns on the season premiere and reports of verbal abuse towards writers. Alex Kurtzman will remain onboard as executive producer. The crew is currently working on episode five, with a pre-planned pause in production scheduled before filming of the next episode. As part of their statement on the matter, CBS confirmed the second season will not debut until next year (there was previously speculation it might air late this year).
