That’s not in the announcements
Variety confirmed that CBS Studios and Kurtzman are continuing to be in negotiations for a renewed partnership.
Quoting the article: "According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Kurtzman and CBS Studios are currently in talks for a new deal that will keep him in the CBS fold"
I personally take that as he is staying at CBS but leaving Star Trek, especially since the new Star Trek movie has no connections to him.
It depends on whether the intent is to integrate the movies and television.
No one involved with the new movies has proven their ability to deliver on Star Trek, whatever their other credentials.
It would be a major risk to give any untested production company and EP the kind of multiyear contract needed to run the franchise.
Personally I have a much higher chance of going to see the new movie if it has NO ties to Kurtzman, and I am not alone in my friends-group for that opinion. I only went to see Star Trek Beyond because it was a fresh take mostly written by Simon Pegg (A known ST fan), and I think it's the best of the three new movies.
Definitely a YMMV situation. I have seen all three Kelvin movies and liked the first best of the lot
Beyond didn’t redeem itself for me. The motorcycle ridiculousness put it in the Nemesis category for me. There’s also the fact that none of the rest of the family would watch with me after the first one.
That said, the movies are being led by completely different people at this point.
Kurtzman is only negotiating television production not movies. My point was that the movie people have yet to prove themselves in even being able to deliver a cinematic feature in the franchise. So, would be an extreme risk to lock a 5-7 year deal that includes television production.
