I have observed elsewhere that no women are announced in the creative team. I hope they get a strong female-presenting A-list lead who insists on EP status.
He was on the upswing as a director until the debacle of the Thunderbirds movie basically made him unemployable.
Star Trek has enabled him to get back into directing work, and even some acting.
He’s been picking up directing work beyond the franchise over the last few years, but an EP supervising director role for an entire limited series adaptation of a prestige author is definitely a step forward.
