The Star Trek: Discovery showrunner explains why she doesn’t feel the competition from Strange New Worlds

Michelle Paradise and other cast members of The Star Trek: Discovery The cast hosted a Twitter Spaces event with The Wrap (via trekfilm ) and during the conversation talked about the success of strange new worlds. The host asked Paradise if she felt the need to compete with him. most recent Emigrate series and the episodic format Paramount + subscribers praised. Having said that, the producer explained that she has nothing to worry about, given the plans provided by the established powers:

No, there is absolutely no competition. And one of the things for Alex [Kurtzman]The merit of what he said at the outset is that each of these shows has to hold its own place in the larger universe, because you don’t want two shows that look very, very similar. So Discovery and Strange New Worlds, for example, look very different from a design standpoint. And Discovery is very serialized. And when Strange New Worlds came out, I know, they worked very hard to make sure it was something else.

As mentioned, it was the producers’ intention that Star Trek: Discovery Yes strange new worlds feel very different. In short, for those who wonder if perhaps the success of the new show could inspire Discovery on purpose from a serialized structure to an episodic structure , it doesn’t seem like something that has ever happened or ever will.

And we realize, as writers and showrunners of all the shows, that we all get together fairly regularly and talk to each other to make sure the stories don’t overlap. And in a way that doesn’t make sense to the larger universe. Let’s talk about all of these things so that we are aware of these things. Because we all want to make sure the shows we help lead continue to take their place, but that Alex and his Secret Hideout team keep an eye on them all. But there is no competition. We love what they do.

Star Trek: Discovery Season five has an air of mystery as it’s not clear exactly where Michael Burnham and his team will head. Gossipify recently spoke with executive producer Olatunde Osunsanmi, who teased it was there it could be more revealing about short walks fast forward “Calypso”, but we currently don’t know much more. However, one thing we can at least be sure of is that we won’t see the series take creative cues strange new worlds as it plots its course for future episodes.
