Since November last year, questions about whether Michelle Yeoh would receive her own Star Trek show on CBS did the rounds.
According to the Verge, it is now official, since CBS All Access made the announcement.
The streaming service made the announcement that it plans to add another Star Trek series to its lineup, with Michelle Yeoh set to star in the leading role as Captain Philippa Georgiou.
The series will follow Captain Georgiou’s alternate counterpart from the Mirror Universe, where she was the villainous Emperor of the Terran Empire. Executive producers Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry, Trevor Roth, and Aaron Baiers, and writers Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt will chronicle her journey during her time as a member of Starfleet’s Section 31 division. Yeoh shared her excitement in a statement: “I’m so excited to continue telling these rich Star Trek stories. Being a part of this universe and this character specifically has been such a joy for me to play. I can’t wait to see where it all goes certainly, I believe it will go ‘where no WOMAN has ever gone before!’
The show title is still to be announced.
