Notaro and Picardo join as series regulars reprising their roles as Jett Reno and The Doctor, and Fehr and Wiseman join as guest stars reprising their roles as Admiral Vance and Sylvia Tilly.
I’m shocked that Notaro will be a series regular, and even more shocked that Wiseman will not.
Notaro likely didn’t have a contract at all for Discovery, but I doubt that would have affected anything. I don’t get the impression that Wiseman would be overly expensive, either - Notaro is still the bigger star.
Maybe Wiseman just didn’t want to commit to a full season or something.

I just got way more interested in the show. Notaro and Picardo are fantastic. Whatever they do, it’ll be worth it to see those two.
Agreed, they are two of my favorite trek characters.
Contract thing? Is it because Notaro was only a guest star on Discovery do the five year renegotiation rule doesn’t apply?
