The show’s pre-production has been mired in setbacks and delays.
In a recent meeting with investors CBS Chairman Les Moonves said the show will premiere in late summer or early fall.
“It’s important to get it right,” Moonves said. “Star Trek is the family jewels. We’re not going to rush it in. There’s a lot of post-production. But I’m very confident based on what I’ve seen so far.”
