As Star Trek shifts to a new era as several shows have came to a close, October has offered a glance at whats to come in it’s future with new cast joining two upcoming shows and a final launch date for the Section 31 offshoot announced.
Section 31 Launches January 2025!
After years since first being teased, the new Section 31 project, we finally have a launch date! Originally planned as a series that was set to film following Discovery’s second season the project morphed into something much bigger over the years. With Strange New Worlds becoming the leading spin off from Discovery and planned star Michelle Yeoh having her schedule fully booked, Section 31 was re-written into a movie by Discovery and Elementary producer Craig Sweeney and completed filming earlier this year.
Focused on (partially) reformed Terran Emperor Georgiou, Section 31 will see Michelle Yeoh revive her character in the early 24th century putting together a new team under Section 31’s orders. The production has kept the details under wraps aside from the inclusion of Kacey Rohl taking on the role of a young Rachel Garrett; the officer that we learned had led the Enterprise-C into a fatal battle during Next Generation’s Yesterdays Enterprise.
Despite the secrecy, the spy-focused adventure now has a release date as director Olatunde Osunsanmi announced at New York Comic Con that it would make it’s international debut on January 24th on Paramount+.
Joining Yeoh and Rohl is Omari Hardwick as team commander Alok Zahar; Robert Kazinsky as Zeph; Sven Roygrok as ‘Fuzz’; Sam Richardson as Chameloid Quasi and Humberly Gonzalez as Melle. Watch the trailer in full.
Welcome Aboard!
Productions elsewhere in the Star Trek Universe also got some love at NYCC. With some time to go until we see the fallout from it’s season two cliffhanger, we got another peek at whats to come with Strange New Worlds (above) and another actor confirmed to join the cast next season.
From Guns Akimbo and What We Do In The Shadows, Rhys Darby is boarding the Enterprise in an undisclosed (for now!) role from the original series. An interesting addition alongside Cillian O’Sullivan who was previously announced to be revising Dr Richard Korby for the series.
It wasn’t the only piece of surprise casting as Starfleet Academy announced that Paramount had already commissioned a second season where they’ll welcome Orphan Black and She-Hulk star Tatiana Maslany!
