The third season of Star Trek: Discovery was many things, including a trip into an uncharted future that released the series from concerns about pesky things like existing franchise canon and a soft reboot that allowed a show that had often struggled to determine its identity to find its voice at last. It was also the first Discovery season that didn’t feature one particular Star Trek staple: The Klingon race. Are those things connected to one another? Signs definitely point to yes.
To be fair, few fans were probably that surprised by this particular narrative. The Klingons are essentially Discovery’s white whale, the one part of the show’s universe that it can never quite get right and whose appeal it can never capture, no matter how it tries or what twists it pulls. Virtually every subplot involving Klingon characters has been nothing short of a disaster, whether...

Moderated by Dominic Patten of Deadline Hollywood, the Comic-Con@Home virtual panel of all things Star Trek moved swiftly from the welcome by executive producers, Alex Kurtzman and Heather Kadin, through to panels with the casts of Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and ending with Star Trek: Picard.
Kadin dropped the big reveal at the start of the session, announcing the title of Star Trek's newest member, a brand-new animated show called Star Trek: Prodigy, created in partnership with Nickelodeon and aimed at a younger audience.

The USS Discovery may have left the 23rd century behind, but there’s still a lot more left to explore in the pre-tos era.
When it first aired in 2017, Star Trek: Discovery was a prequel to the original Trek, but now that the third season of the show will take place roughly 930 years after 2267 — likely in the year 3197 — the eight years remaining between Star Trek: The Original Series and Discovery will mostly have to be filled in by our imaginations. Unless of course, there were new spin-offs!
This week, news broke that two companies which hold rights to film Star Trek — CBS and Viacom — have completed a corporate merger which puts the entire Trek franchise under one roof again. This was how it was in the ‘80s and ‘90s when Paramount owned everything, but, since 2006, things Trek movies and Trek shows have been split up.

Exclusive: Operation Othello, a Shakespeare-inspired virtual reality series pilot, produced by Viola Davis and Julius Tennon’s JuVee Productions in collaboration with Oculus, is part of the official 2019 lineup for Cannes Film Festival’s Marché du Film Xr Arcade. A work-in-progress prototype of the pilot episode will be featured at the Fest which runs May 14-19.
The pilot, adapted from Shakespeare’s Othello, is set in the world of an elite naval special force’s unit sometime in the near future. It stars Tennon as Captain Othello and in a gender twist, Mary Chieffo (Star Trek: Discovery), who adapted the experience for Vr, in the traditionally male role of Ensign Iago.
On the impact of Vr, Tennon says: “We believe Immersive Media is an integral part of the future of storytelling and presents a unique opportunity to bring a voice to the voiceless. As an ‘empathy machine,’ we’re excited...

Fans of the series Star Trek: Discovery will be happy to learn that CBS All Access has officially renewed it for a third season!
I’m still slowly making my way through Season 2, but I’m really happy with how the creative team has been handling this show. It’s not really a surprise that we will be getting a third season. While the streaming service has plans for lots of new Star Trek shows, this is their flagship series and I don’t think it’s going anywhere anytime soon.
It’s also being reported that series co-executive producer and writer Michelle Paradise has been tapped to serve as co-showrunner alongside Alex Kurtzman. Kurtzman is overseeing the entire expansion of the Star Trek universe, so it makes sense that he’d need some help. Kurtzman had this to say in a statement:

Warning: This Star Trek: Discovery interview contains Major spoilers for Season 2, Episode 3: "Point of Light."
However you feel about the major plot moves in Star Trek: Discovery's "Point of Light," the episode reaffirmed that Mary Chieffo is a force to be reckoned with in the complex, demanding role of L'Rell, aka the leader of the entire frakking Klingon Empire.
This week's episode contained some big developments for L'Rell's character in particular—including the reveal of a secret child she conceived with Voq before his transformation into TyVoq, and the cementing of her power by the Federation-sanctioned staging of the murder of her family.

We’ve got a great new featurette for you to watch today for Star Trek: Discovery that focuses on what we can expect to see in the story for season two. It includes new footage from the upcoming season along with interviews of the cast and crew talking about some of the new characters that will be joining the adventure such as Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and Spock (Ethan Peck), who is apparently having visions of a villainous Red Angel.
I also included a synopsis for the upcoming season along with a new poster:
After answering a distress signal from the U.S.S. Enterprise, season two of Star Trek: Discoveryfinds the crew of the U.S.S.

CBS All Access has released a thrillingly awesome new trailer for Star Trek: Discovery season two in which we see Spock join the fight for the future. The trailer also teases the big threat of new deadly villain known as the Red Angel who has the power to end all life in the galaxy.
It looks like the crew of the Discovery have their work cut out for them as they embark on what looks to be a dangerously insane new adventure! This is a great, action-packed trailer that definitely upped my excitement for the return of the series!
Star Trek: Discovery returns to CBS All Access January 17th.
The cast includes Sonequa Martin-Green as First Officer Michael Burnham, Michelle Yeoh as Captain Philippa Georgiou, Jason Isaacs as Captain Lorca, Doug Jones as science officer Saru, Anthony Rapp as fellow science officer Stamets, Terry Serpico as Starfleet admiral Anderson, Maulik Pancholy...

Midway through the just-released trailer for Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery there’s a moment when the grim-faced Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif) informs Capt. Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) that the future of the universe is in peril.
Underwhelmed, Pike replies with a nonchalant smirk. “Mr. Tyler,” Pike says, “we are always in a fight for the future.”
Pike meant Starfleet but his appraisal applies just as much to big-budget television enterprises such as Star Trek: Discovery, which launches its sophomore season January 17 on CBS All Access. Star Trek: Discovery is the flagship brand for the subscription streaming site and while it performed admirably in its inaugural season (with favorable reviews and subscription spikes) there was also major upheaval among the creative team that raised questions about its future as an ongoing mission.
The new trailer shows the 14-episode Season 2 won’t be skimping much on special effects or a sense of scale.

Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery looks like it’s going to change gears after the wartime setting of the first outing. Though the show’s debut was received fairly well, its focus on non-traditional Trek fare alienated some fans, which is possibly why the sophomore effort sounds like it’ll travel to some slightly more familiar territory.
Before we get there though, to mark World Photography Day (which was last weekend), CBS released four behind the scenes shots from the first season, which they claim are their favorite candid moments. Found in the gallery below, my personal highlight is the one of Saru (Doug Jones) giving Sonequa Martin-Green a relaxing massage, mainly because it really reminds me of the excellent Galaxy Quest.

Will “Star Trek: Discovery” win Emmys this year? It would be a major breakthrough for CBS All Access, a new streaming service that earned its first nomination in 2017 when “The Good Fight” contended for its main title theme music. And it would be a major comeback for the “Star Trek” franchise: “Discovery” is the first “Trek” series since “Enterprise” ended in 2005. But the “Trek” shows have a strong track record with the television academy. Scroll down to find out what actors and episodes were submitted by the show across all Emmy categories save music composition (those races follow different procedures and don’t release public ballots).
The original “Star Trek” series ran from 1966-1969 and didn’t win any Emmys, but it was nominated 13 times, including twice for Best Drama Series (1967-1968). “Star Trek: The Next Generation” followed two decades later and aired for seven seasons from 1987 to 1994, during which...

The series, which premiered last year, takes place, like its franchise predecessors, in a future where humanity has joined forces with its galactic neighbors to explore the cosmos. But “Discovery” strikes a more urgent note than previous iterations of “Star Trek.” The new series stars Sonequa Martin-Green as Michael Burnham, a rising Starfleet officer who precipitates a war with the alien Klingon Empire and is stripped of her rank — before being given a second chance aboard a mysterious starship on a secret mission.

‘Star Trek: Discovery’: What It Takes to Survive Hours In the Make-Up Chair, According to Doug Jones
Imagine this: You go to work at 4 a.m., and your day starts with your butt in an upright chair, for an hour and a half to two hours — and the whole time, someone is gluing stuff to your face.
This is what life is like for Doug Jones, Mary Chieffo, and the other actors playing aliens on “Star Trek: Discovery.” The stars begin their workday by spending hours sitting in makeup, getting transformed into Klingons and Vulcans and Kelpians. It’s a process that viewers tend to take for granted, but is a physically and mentally grueling process for both the actors as well as the artists, who work equally hard on making the unreal possible.

With the Klingon ship due to arrive, Lorca (Jason Isaacs) is given orders to leave the area and keep his ship safe. Bypassing the orders given to him he decides to take the battle to the enemy, using the unique assets of the U.S.S. Discovery to end the war.
