Alex Kurtzman, who co-wrote and produced the blockbuster spin-off movies "Star Trek" in 2009 and "Star Trek Into Darkness" in 2013, will also be the executive producer of the series. LOS ANGELES - Netflix said on Monday it would beam the new series of cult sci-fi franchise "Star Trek" to 188 countries across the world, excluding the United States and Canada. The original "Star Trek" told the story of the flight crew aboard the USS Enterprise spaceship, which ventured around the galaxy exploring new worlds. In the US, the new "Star Trek" will premiere on the CBS television network. Veteran "Star Trek" screenwriter Bryan Fuller, who launched his career in the 1990s writing for "Deep Space Nine" and "Voyager," is to return as co-creator and executive producer of the new installment.
