Here's a well-deserved congratulations to Star Trek: Discovery, which just netted a Season 2 over at CBS All Access.
In its first few episodes, the show has set records at the streaming service.
"In just six episodes, Star Trek: Discovery has driven subscriber growth, critical acclaim and huge global fan interest for the first premium version of this great franchise. This series has a remarkable creative team and cast who have demonstrated their ability to carry on the Star Trek legacy. We are extremely proud of what they’ve accomplished and are thrilled to be bringing fans a second season of this tremendous series," said Marc DeBevoise, president and chief operating officer at CBS Interactive.
Led by Sonequa Martin-Green, well known from her role on AMC’s mega-hit The Walking Dead, Star Trek: Discovery is set in the Prime Universe (as opposed to the Kelvin Timeline used in the J.J. Abrams-produced films) and takes place about 10 years before Captain Kirk's five-year mission. In other words, the series will act as a bridge between the first two series in the timeline, about a century after "Star Trek: Enterprise" (which was a prequel) and a decade before the original series. It features a new ship, new characters and new missions, while embracing the same ideology and hope for the future that inspired a generation of dreamers and doers.
Martin-Green's character's name is First Officer Michael Burnham. She's joined by British thespian Chris Obi (who has been cast in the upcoming reboot as a Klingon - specifically as "T'Kuvma," the Klingon leader seeking to unite the Klingon houses), Michelle Yeoh, Douglas Jones and Anthony Rapp as series regulars.
Star Trek: Discovery is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Alex Kurtzman's Secret Hideout, Bryan Fuller's Living Dead Guy Productions and Roddenberry Entertainment. Alex Kurtzman, Bryan Fuller, Heather Kadin, Gretchen J. Berg & Aaron Harberts, Akiva Goldsman, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth serve as executive producers.
