The showrunners of Star Trek: Discovery have hinted that there may be some major character deaths in store for viewers.
Star Trek: Discovery debuts September 24, 2017, on CBS, with the remainder of the first season streaming on CBS: All Access.
Apart from a few very notable occasions, Star Trek fans have mostly been spared from unexpected deaths of the leads in the films and shows.
However with Discovery already being classed as a bigger and grittier Star Trek series, it seems that it might not be prudent to get too attached to certain characters.
