Berg and Harberts had been taken off the project due to leadership and operational issues. Insiders stressed that the former showrunners became increasingly abusive of the “Discovery” writing staff. This made writers uncomfortable working with them and threatened to file a complaint with human resources or just quit.

Despite the challenges, the first five episodes of season two are near completion. Berg and Harberts will also be credited for the episodes they oversaw.

CBS and producer CBS Television Studios are currently said to be pleased with the cuts and scripts they have seen from season two. Fans of the show may also expect Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike to make an appearance in season two when it airs in 2019.
