New 'Star Trek' show delayed until May of 2017

LOS ANGELES -- The latest TV edition of Star Trek will launch a few months later than planned.

Streaming service CBS All Access said Wednesday that Star Trek: Discovery will debut in May 2017 instead of January.

In a statement, series producers Alex Kurtzman and Bryan Fuller said their aim is to "dream big and deliver" and they decided the additional time was needed to achieve their vision for the show.
