Deadline.com has broken another exclusive — that Star Trek‘s Brannon Braga will be the showrunner for the upcoming Steven Spielberg-produced dinosaur series Terra Nova.
The article describes Terra Nova as being about “a family from 100 years in the future who travel back in time 150 million years to prehistoric Earth ruled by dinosaurs.”
Braga’s recent credits include ABC’s Flashforward. Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva also is reporting that the project has “unofficially” been given a 13-episode order.
Deadline.com also reveals that Braga was appointed because the co-writer of the pilot, Craig Silverstein, is in “first position” to The CW’s pilot Nikita. If he is sticking with the other show it sounds promising that it might get the series pick-up from the network.
