We’re still a year away from 2017’s launch of the sixth live-action Star Trek series — coming exclusively to CBS All Access in the United States — and while we still don’t know much of anything about the direction of the new show, we now have at least a small bit of insight into the management.

Speaking at the Television Critics Association press tour in California yesterday, CBS’s Glen Geller clarified to the audience of journalists that the CBS broadcast network really virtually no involvement in the new show — and even in his role as President of CBS Entertainment, he’s not involved either:

I don’t have anything to do with it — it really is for [CBS All Access]. While the network will be broadcasting the pilot [on television], I actually can’t answer any creative questions about it. I’m looking forward to seeing the new Star Trek. I think it’s going to be an exciting project… I’m not sure about the plans creatively for new characters.

In addition, Geller also shot down any speculation that the series was designed for television and later relegated so the studio’s CBS All Access streaming service:

[The new series] was always designed for a streaming service, and I’m just thrilled we get to be part of the launch.

After the CBS press event, we reached out to television critic Dan Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter, who attended the presentation, for clarification on the network head’s comments.

So while we don’t really have any more information on the content of the new Star Trek show, at least now we know who to chase down for details going forward!
