Star Trek: Discovery will focus on First Officer Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) as the show delves into an event in Trek lore that’s been mentioned before but never shown on screen.
The cast also features, among others, Michelle Yeoh, Jason Isaacs, Anthony Rapp, Doug Jones, James Frain and Rainn Wilson.
During a press conference at SDCC, where CinemaBlend’s own Dirk Libbey was present, Wilson spoke about how tensions with the Klingons will impact the storytelling.
There will also be several Klingons on the show, as Starfleet and the Federation will be in the middle of a bit of a cold war with the alien warrior race.
