The Walking Dead Star Sonequa Martin-Green Joins Discovery!

According to a breaking report from EW, it seems that Star Trek Discovery has found it's 'Number One' star. Known for her role as Sasha Williams on AMC's The Walking Dead, Sonequa Martin-Green has reportedly been cast to take the lead role on the new Trek TV show set to debut in May next year.

Bryan Fuller, who stepped down as showrunner earlier this year after constructing much of the shows history, told fans at Comic Con that he wanted to cast a non-white woman in the lead role, in part inspired by the iconic role Nichelle Nichols had in the original series and for Mae Jamieson, the first the […]

Discovery News: Changes in the Writers Room as Fuller Steps Down as Showrunner

Earlier this year Bryan Fuller promised us news for Star Trek Discovery, but this was not the news we expected!

"We are extremely happy with the creative direction of ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ and the strong foundation that Bryan Fuller has helped us create for the series," said CBS Television Studios in a statement. "Due to Bryan’s other projects, he is no longer able to oversee the day-to-day of ‘Star Trek,’ but he remains an executive producer, and will continue to map out […]
