Premiering on January 2017 on the CBS Network featuring the new starship the USS Discovery. Confirmed to take place in the Prime Universe(TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT). I've been hyped for this show for a while but I'm a little saddened that we're not getting another Enterprise.
A while ago the show's premiere got pushed back to May 2017. It will still premiere on television and then make the switch to streaming exclusively. Bryan Fuller has stepped down as showrunner due to other commitments, but after establishing the mythology and story arc; Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts are the current showrunners. The main cast thus far is as follows: Sonequa Martin-Green (The Walking Dead; Once Upon a Time) as Rainsford, Lieutenant Commander and Number One on the USS Discovery. Doug Jones (Pan's Labyrinth; Hellboy) as Saru, a Lieutenant and Science Officer of a new alien species created for the series. Anthony Rapp (Rent; If/Then) as Stamets, a gay Science Officer specializing in astromycology (studying space fungi). Recurring characters include: Michelle Yeoh (Tomorrow Never Dies; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as Georgiou, Captain of the USS Shenzhou. Shazad Latif (Spooks; Penny Dreadful) as Kol, a Klingon Commanding Officer, and the protege of... Chris Obi (American Gods; Ghost in the Shell) as T'Kuvma, a Klingon leader looking to unite the Klingon houses. Mary Chieffo as L'Rell, Battle Deck Commander of the Klingon ship.
