While the Star Trek film series is in limbo after the box office underperformance of Star Trek Beyond, there has been talk of several spinoff television series if Discovery is a winner, including a Khan series helmed by Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan director Nicholas Meyer.
The first Star Trek television series in over a decade, Discovery has been the subject of massive pre-premiere scrutiny.
Star Trek is in need of a win, and early signs indicate Discovery might deliver.
Star Trek: Discovery premieres Sunday, September 24 on CBS.
