First Look - Test Flight of Star Trek's U.S.S. Discovery S1
"The first 13 episodes will be serialized and play out almost like a novel, "with each episode being a chapter of that novel, and within that chapter there's a beginning, middle and end," Fuller said. He added, "We will have episodes that exist by themselves but are a part of a much bigger story." In addition, and according Fuller, the new series will take place in the Prime Universe and about 10 years before Captain Kirk's five-year mission. The series is also the bridge between the first two series in the timeline, about a century after Captain Jonathan Archer's Star Trek: Enterprise (the prequel) and a decade before The Original Series.
