Star Trek: Discovery lead Sonequa Martin-Green responded to criticism from traditional Star Trek fans. Beginning in 2017 with Discovery, CBS tapped writer-producer Alex Kurtzman to revitalize the long-running science-fiction franchise's future in television. Following Discovery's premiere, CBS introduced Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Prodigy, and its latest series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, with at least two new shows planned for the near future. In 2018, Kurtzman signed a five-year deal to focus on the franchise, extending to 2026. Discovery follows Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) as she leads the crew of the USS Discovery on adventures through space and time. Although critics have generally praised the show (86% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes), traditional Star Trek fans have not been pleased with the direction and tone of the series (36% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes). Star Trek: Discovery's more serialized storytelling and focus on emotional, character-driven narrative arcs have caused fans to claim that the show strays too far away from what made the franchise great.
