It’s a great time to be a Star Trek<\/em> fan. Today, it was announced that a new Trek series is in development; starring Michelle Yeoh<\/strong> and focusing on her role in Section 31. It had been rumored that a show based on Yeoh and Section 31 was in the works and the rumors turned out to be true.<\/p>\n

“The series will expand on Yeoh’s current role as a member of Starfleet’s Section 31 division, a shadow organization within the Federation.”<\/p>\n

“Michelle has shattered ceilings, broken boundaries, and astonished us with her grace and gravitas for decades. As a human, I adore her. As an actor, I revere her,” said Alex Kurtzman<\/strong>. “Erika and Boey are remarkable, exciting writers who bring a fresh perspective to the world of Star Trek<\/em>, and we’re all thrilled to explore the next wild chapter in the life of Captain Philippa Georgiou.”<\/p>\n

“I’m so excited to continue telling these rich Star Trek<\/em> stories,” said Yeoh. “Being a part of this Universe and this character specifically has been such a joy for me to play. I can’t wait to see where it all goes\u2014certainly, I believe it will go ‘where no woman has ever gone before!”<\/p>\n

The new Yeoh series will be written by Bo Yeon Kim<\/strong> and Erika Lippold<\/strong>, and will be “produced by CBS Television Studios, Secret Hideout<\/em> and Roddenberry Entertainment.<\/em> Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry <\/strong>and Trevor Roth<\/strong> will serve as executive producers. Aaron Baiers<\/strong> will serve as co-executive producer.”<\/p>\n

So this new series will join Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Short Treks<\/em>, the Patrick Stewart<\/strong> show, the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks<\/em>, and most likely a Starfleet Academy show.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, don’t forget that the second season of Discovery<\/em> begins on Thursday (US\/Canada), and Friday (everywhere else).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
