Big day for Star Trek fans!
Yes, despite it feeling like Star Trek Discovery might never arrive, we finally have the first image and, even better, the first trailer for the new series that will debut on CBS All Access this fall – so it will be a subscription series.
But we’ll worry about that closer to the time. Let’ just focus on his good the trailer is for now.
And why it sort of looks like in the image of Michelle Yeoh and Sonequa Martin-Green (below) they are looking for Rey?
Discovery takes place roughly a decade before the events in The Original Series, so its events predate Mr. Spock and Captain Kirk joining forces on the Enterprise. Last month, Martin-Green was cast to star as a lieutenant commander on the Discovery.
Also cast: Michelle Yeoh will play Captain Georgiou, the Starfleet Captain aboard the Starship Shenzhou; Jason Isaacs will play Capt Lorca Doug Jones will play Lt. Saru, a Starfleet Science Officer and a new alien species in the Star Trek universe; and Rapp was cast as Lt. Stamets, an “astromycologist,” fungus expert, and Starfleet Science Officer aboard the Starship Discovery. The show also cast three actors as Klingons: Chris Obi (Roots) as T’Kuvma, a leader seeking to unite the Klingon houses; Shazad Latif (Penny Dreadful), who will play Kol, a Klingon Commanding Officer, and protege of T’Kuvma; and the newcomer Mary Chieffo as L’Rell, the Battle Deck Commander of a Klingon ship.
