The series will feature a new ship, new characters, and new missions, while embracing the same ideology and hope for the future that inspired a generation of dreamers and doers.

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY will follow the voyages of Starfleet on their missions to discover new worlds and new life forms, and one Starfleet officer who must learn that to truly understand all things alien, you must first understand yourself.

The series will premiere on the CBS Television Network with all subsequent episodes available on CBS All Access, the Network's digital subscription video on demand and live streaming service, and will be distributed concurrently by CBS Studios International on Netflix in 188 countries and in Canada on Bell Media's Space channel and OTT service CraveTV.   (CBS Broadcasting Inc.)

(03/23/20) An all-new novel based upon the Star Trek TV series, Star Trek: Discovery: Die Standing, is scheduled to publish on July 14, 2020.
No one in the history of histories has lost more than Philippa Georgiou, ruler of the Terran Empire. Forced to take refuge in the Federation's universe, she bides her time until Section 31, a rogue spy force within Starfleet, offers her a chance to work as their agent. She has no intention of serving under anyone else, of course; her only interest is escape.

But when a young Trill, Emony Dax, discovers a powerful interstellar menace, Georgiou recognizes it as a superweapon that escaped her grasp in her own universe. Escorted by a team sent by an untrusting Federation to watch over her, the emperor journeys to a region forbidden to travelers. But will what she finds there end the threat - or give "Agent Georgiou" the means to create her old empire anew?

Excerpts:
AX: Are you guys having internal debate about how much to use Michelle Yeoh in Season 3, because they're spinning off her character?
KADIN: We want to use Michelle Yeoh as much as possible. Our plan is, she'll be used throughout Season 3. The spinoff wouldn't happen until after that.
AX: So the spinoff wouldn't happen until you're no longer doing STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, or the spinoff wouldn't happen until after Season 3?
KADIN: Or in the middle of Season 3, let's say, but we have every intention of using her - you'll see her all of this season, and then most of next.

Michelle Yeoh will return as Captain/Emperor Georgiou, who is now an operative for Section 31: the Federation's clandestine black-ops branch. ("Don't you bow?" Yeoh asked, as Romijn introduced her.) Yeoh is thrilled about getting the chance to play a character who's a very different from both the straight-laced captain and the power-hungry emperor.

"[Secton 31 Georgiou is] manipulative, devious, sexy. We're in leather all the time," said Yeoh. "I'm loving every minute of it... I have a lot more fun playing this character. She's not a monster. There's a deep seed of humanity inside her."

(08/11/18) Excerpt from Deadline interview with CBS All Access Bosses:

  Deadline: Based on the way the first season of Discovery ended, is there a Trek series with Michelle Yeoh in the works?
  Julie McNamara (programming chief for All Access): We've really talked about virtually all of the characters who popped in Discovery as potential spin-off shows. It's obviously very much driven by our conversations with Alex Kurtzman's Secret Hideout and the other creators involved. I wouldn't say at this point that we are actively pursuing a Michelle Yeoh series but it has been discussed.

(06/06/18) "That blade through the heart -when you die for a scene, it's interesting how much research has to go into it," says Yeoh. "I always have to weigh, 'Do I die with my eyes open or shut?' It's so beautiful when you see the last minute of breath, and the eyes glaze over -but it's difficult not to flicker. The actor above me had this mask on, and there was a lot of [sweat and saliva] coming out of the holes, and when he tipped his head, it all came gushing out. Thank God there was a rehearsal first."   -- Michelle Yeoh on Capt. Philippa Georgiou's death scene   (LA Times)

(01/18/17) The principal filming of Star Trek: Discovery will officially begin next week, but the series is no longer aiming to premiere in May.

"Production on Star Trek: Discovery begins next week. We love the cast, the scripts and are excited about the world the producers have created. This is an ambitious project; we will be flexible on a launch date if it's best for the show. We've said from the beginning it's more important to do this right than to do it fast. There is also added flexibility presenting on CBS All Access, which isn't beholden to seasonal premieres or launch windows." said a CBS statement.

"Star Trek, one of the most iconic and influential global television franchises, returns to television 50 years after it first premiered with STAR TREK: DISCOVERY. The series will feature a new ship, new characters, and new missions, while embracing the same ideology and hope for the future that inspired a generation of dreamers and doers."
