CBS
confirmed today that Michael Chabon will serve as showrunner on their new streaming series,
Star Trek: Picard. Alex Kurtzman, overseer of all things Trek at CBS, commented
Daring, lyrical, humane, whimsical, celebrated: words that describe both Jean-Luc Picard and the literary genius of Michael Chabon. Despite a laundry list of accomplishments most writers only dream of,
Michael shines with the heart and soul of a Trekkie who’s finally found
his dream job. We’re so fortunate to have him at the helm as we explore
this next chapter in the great captain’s life.
Chabon said,
Star Trek has been an important part of my way of thinking about the world, the future, human nature, storytelling and myself since I was ten years old. I come to work every day in a state of joy and awe at having been entrusted with the character and the world of Jean-Luc Picard, with this vibrant strand of the rich, intricate and complex tapestry that is Trek.
