Great news, people, after a very long wait we finally have the first name in the cast for new STAR TREK: DISCOVERY TV series which will air at CBS next spring and through Netflix around the world! Michelle Yeoh has been announced by one of the show's producers as the new captain!
Sadly, it won't be the lead role since this series will have a female
starship lieutenant commander of colour as the protagonist thus marking
it as the first of the STAR TREK series that won't have their lead star
commanding the ship! Michelle Yeoh will apparently have a reoccurring
role as a character named Han Bo a captain of another ship named the
Shenzhou and should have an important role in the first season which
won't have individual stories in each episode but will follow a longer
storyline set ten years before the original series when Star Federation
was first venturing into the unknown space. If the rumours are right DISCOVERY will also have a male British doctor aboard and at least one
gay character!
