The naysayers have been proven wrong, yet again. CBS has officially renewed Discovery for a third season overnight.

Startrek.com reports that in addition to this great news, Michelle Paradise will be joining Alex Kurtzman as co-show runner. Paradise joined the creative staff mid-season two and brought her ‘ferocious knowledge of Star Trek’ with her.

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.

Alex Kurtzman said of the former co-executive producer of The CW’s The Originals.

Catch Discovery here on Trekzone. Weekly on Netflix around the world, and on CBS All Access in the States.
