Straight from the Star Trek universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con come brand new details about the upcoming third season of Star Trek: Discovery!
Up first the casting of David Ajala (Supergirl) in the role of Cleveland Booker aka “Book.”
“Book is gonna be a character that’s gonna break the rules just a little bit. It’s always fun to break the rules, and we’re gonna do that right from the start this season,” Ajala said about the character (via TheWrap)
In addition, series creator and executive producer Alex Kurtzman revealed that the third season will be set the furthest into the future ever for a Star Trek series, picking up 1,000 years after the second season.
“There will be things you recognize and don’t recognize…They have big problems.”
Finally, a new trailer for the next batch of Short Treks was released, teasing the next six shorts. The panel confirmed that three of the shorts will follow the Enterprise crew (as seen below), two more will be animated, and the sixth will be a teaser for the upcoming Star Trek: Picard series. Check out the trailer in the player below!
No premiere date was revealed for the third season of Discovery, but you can stream the first two seasons on CBS All Access now.
