Star Trek: Discovery comes to Netflix in September
As one of the world’s most iconic franchises, Star Trek will be making its small screen return 50 years after it first premiered. This time round, the voyages of Starfleet will be followed as they venture to new worlds, discover new lifeforms and as one officer in particular begins to understand they have to learn more about themselves before they can understand everything alien.
A new ship, characters and missions will be introduced in the series, with the same overriding ideology running through the show, and a hope for the future that once inspired a generation.
Produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Alex Kurtzman’s Secret Hideout, Bryan Fuller’s Living Dead Guy Productions and Roddenberry Entertainment, the series will star the likes of Sonequa Martin-Green, Jason Isaacs, Doug Jones and Shazad Latif.
