Michelle Paradise, who has worked on US vampire series The Originals, will be joining Star Trek: Discovery as a showrunner alongside producer Alex Kurtzman.

“Michelle joined us midway through season two and energized the room with her ferocious knowledge of Trek,” Kurtzman said.

“Her grasp of character and story detail, her drive and her focus have already become essential in ensuring the Trek legacy, and her fresh perspective always keeps us looking forward. I’m proud to say Michelle and I are officially running Star Trek: Discovery together.”

Star Trek: Discovery has been under three different leaderships so far. The series was originally developed under Bryan Fuller, then changed to Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts for season one, before switching to Kurtzman for season two.
