This is the first series developed specifically for the service, and the first Star Trek series since Star Trek: Enterprise was completed in 2005. Set about a decade before the original event Star Trek series and separate from the simultaneous feature film timeline, Discovery explores the Klingon-Federation war while following the crew of the USS Discovery . Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts serve as showrooms in the series, with the support of Akiva Goldsman.
Sonequa Martin-Green plays Michael Burnham, a science specialist at USS Discovery. Doug Jones, Shazad Latif, Anthony Rapp, Mary Wiseman, and Jason Isaacs also became stars. The new series was announced in November 2015, with Fuller joining as a showrunner and wanting to create an anthology series. CBS asked him to make one, the first show series, with the original series of prequel ideas developed further. After a further dispute with CBS and a struggle with another commitment, Fuller left the series in October 2016, replaced as a showrunner by Berg and Harberts.
Star Trek: Discovery premiered on September 19, 2017, at ArcLight Hollywood, before debuting on CBS and CBS All Access on September 24th.

Transmission and character
- Sonequa Martin-Green as Michael Burnham:
A Science Specialist at USS Discovery . Burnham is the First Officer of the USS Shenzhou , where he is referred to as "Number One" in honor of the character of the same name described by Majel Barrett in the original "Star Trek pilot" The Cage ". Burnham is a human being who grew up following Vulcan's culture and traditions by Sarek. Unlike the protagonists of the previous Star Trek series, he was not captain of a space ship, in order to "look at characters from different perspectives on spaceships - someone with a different dynamic relationship with a captain, with subordinates, it gives us a richer context ". Fuller deliberately gave the character a traditional male name, which he has done with the female cast of the previous series. - Doug Jones as Saru:
First Officer USS Discovery , Saru was formerly a Science Officer from USS Shenzhou . Saru is the first Kelpien to enter Starfleet. Kelpiens, a new species created for Discovery, was hunted as a prey on their home planet and thus evolved the ability to sense the coming of death, giving them a reputation for cowardice. Jones stands on Saru walking on the supermodel, because of the need for boots to wear to portray the dislodged character's foot, forcing Jones to walk on his feet. The producers compare Saru with Spock and Data characters from the previous series. - Shazad Latif as Voq/Ash Tyler:
A Klingon who underwent surgery to serve as Tyler human, head of security for USS Discovery . Tyler believes he was detained as a prisoner of war by Klingon. Latif originally played a role in the role of Col. Voq was originally credited as described by Javid Iqbal, an actor who was created named for Latif's father, to hide the relationship between characters. Latif describes her character as "a very complex and painful and deep character", and notes that "there is chemistry, relationship" with Burnham. Latif's accent to Voq was inspired from Arabic, and he tried to maintain a "sort of faring" on American Tyler's accent. - Anthony Rapp as Paul Stamets:
Chief engineer at USS Discovery and a science specialist who specializes in astromycology whose research leads to the development of an experimental organic propulsion system on Discovery . This character is inspired by a real life mycologist with the same name. She is the first openly gay character in the Star Trek series, and the launchers "want to roll the character's sexuality just as people will roll their sexuality in life." Rapp notes that Hikaru Sulu is described as gay in the movie Star Trek Beyond, calling it a "nice nod." But in this case, we can actually see me with my partner in conversation, in our live quarters , You can see our relationship from time to time, treated as another relationship will be treated ". - Mary Wiseman as Sylvia Tilly:
A cadet in his final year at Starfleet Academy, assigned to Discovery . She works under the Stamets above Discovery, where she becomes roommate with Burnham. Characters are entered to represent people "at the very bottom of this ladder" from the Starfleet hierarchy. He is "the most optimistic... has the greatest heart", and the exhibitionist Aaron Harberts describes it as "some sort of soul of our show." - Jason Isaacs as Gabriel Lorca:
Captain of Discovery , a "brilliant military tactician". Isaacs describes the character as "probably more f-up than" as previously seen Star Trek . He plays a character with a slightly southern US accent, and initially wants his ad-lib slogan for the character to feel that all Captain's Star Trek must have one, coming with "finished git'r" which is rejected by the author because it is used spacious and trademarked by Larry the Cable Guy.

Season 2
After being officially ordered in October 2017, production in the second season begins on April 16, 2018, and will continue until November 8th.
Production
Development
On November 2, 2015, CBS announced the new Star Trek television series to premiere in January 2017, "on the heels" of the original 50th anniversary of the 2016 series. This is the first Star Trek series since Star Trek: Enterprise was completed in 2005, and the first event developed specifically for All Access Access CBS Access. Alex Kurtzman, co-writer of the Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness movies, and Heather Kadin was named executive producer of the series, which was "unrelated" to the 2016 film Star Trek Beyond . The date of January 2017 was the earliest that CBS could release the new Star Trek series after the agreement that the company made when it was shared with Viacom in 2005. Showtime, Netflix, and Amazon Video all offer "a lot of money" to the right to release the series, but after investing heavily in the new All Access service, CBS believes that the return of Star Trek could be a "franchise that actually puts All Access on the map" and can earn more money in the long run.
In January 2016, CBS president Glenn Geller revealed that he and the CBS network were not involved in the series production, saying, "It's really for All Access, while the network will broadcast the pilot, I can not actually answer creative questions about it." next, Bryan Fuller, who started his writing career for the Star Trek series: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager, was announced as a new series showrunner and co-creator alongside Kurtzman. Nicholas Meyer, writer and director of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, also joined the series as a consultative author and producer. In March Rod Roddenberry, son of Star Trek maker Gene Roddenberry, and Trevor Roth of Roddenberry Entertainment also joined the series, as executive producers. Fuller said that working with people who were previously involved with Star Trek was "really about making sure that we retained authenticity", and said that Meyer - widely considered to have made the best of Star Trek movie at The Wrath of Khan - brings "clarity and cleanliness to storytelling, the ability to ground science fiction in a related way, and also to ensure that we tell the story of the character." Fuller publicly called on Star Trek to return to television for years, mainly because of its impact on minority groups, as he explained, "I can not stop thinking about how many blacks are inspired by seeing Nichelle Nichols in over the ship's bridge I can not stop thinking about how many Asians are inspired by seeing George Takei and the feeling that gives them hope for their place in the future. I want to be part of that representation for a new one. era. "When Fuller first met with CBS about the series, the company had no plans for what the new show was.He proposed an anthology series with each season being a stand-alone series in different eras, beginning with a prequel to the original series, created during the original series, during Star Trek: The Next Generation, and then "surpasses the time on the Trek that has never been seen before." Fuller compares this to what > American Horror Story did for horror, and described the proposal as a platform for "Tracks show universe." CBS even suggested a serial show to see how it was done first, and he started developed the concept of prequel to the original series.
Fuller announced in June 2016 that the first season will consist of 13 episodes, though he prefers to produce 10 episodes each season. A month later, Fuller announced the title of the series being Star Trek: Discovery, and revealed that it would be set in the "Prime Timeline" (which included previous Star Trek series), but not the reboot movie modern) to keep a series of separate series and movies, so "we do not have to track anything that happens in the movies" and they do not have to track what we're doing. "Also in July, CBS Studios International licensed Netflix for release outside the United States and Canada, a "blockbuster" deal that pays the entire budget of the event (about US $ 6-7 million per episode).While the pre-production in the series, Fuller and CBS continue to disagree on the show's direction, which goes beyond the budget per-episode, and falling behind schedule as Fuller oversees all aspects of the series as well as other new events, the American God. This causes frustration among CBS executives who feel Fuller should focus on having < i> Discovery ready to be released on January 2017 premiere date. In August 2016, Fuller has recruited Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts, who have worked with him on Pushing Daisies to serve as co-showrunners with him. A month later, he and Kurtzman asked CBS to postpone the release of the series so that they could meet high expectations for it, and the studio pushed its inaugural launch back to May 2017. "In late October, CBS asked Fuller to resign, as a showrunner, and announced a production restructuring : Berg and Harberts were created as sole showrunners, working from the wide story arc and the whole mythology set up by Fuller, Kurtzman and Fuller will continue as executive producers, but with Fuller who shifted his attention entirely to American Gods, and Akiva Goldsman will joined the series in the supporting role of the producer, similar to the role he held at Fringe with Kurtzman.C CBS reaffirmed that they were "very pleased with [Fuller] creative direction" for the series, though some elements of the series who came directly from Fuller was dropped, including some designs and "more allegorical and complex story" points Uller later confirmed that he was no longer involved with the series, but expressed interest in returning for the upcoming season.
With production set to finally start in January, "a lot of careful consideration [is] continuing to go into making special Discovery from the director's choice, to set the design, to special effects." Ted Sullivan also joins the series to serve as a supervising writing producer. At CBS 2017 preliminary presentation, CBS Interactive president Marc DeBevoise confirmed the release date of the "fall" for the series, and announced that the sequence of episodes for the first season has expanded to 15 episodes. In June, CBS announced the new premiere date of September 24, 2017, with the season airing until November 2017, and then resuming in January 2018. This break gives more time to complete post-production in the second half of the season. Also that month, Kurtzman said that he and Fuller had discussed the coming seasons before the last departure, and promised that "what's in the story and of course in terms of set-ups, characters, big ideas, great season movements this, it's all the stuff that Bryan and I are talking about "and will not be changed. Goldsman said in August that producers wanted a "hybridization (anthology) approach." I do not think we're looking for endless stories, continuing for nine or 10. We're looking at bows that will have characters we know and characters we do not know. "Kurtzman added that the success of Discovery could lead to another new Star Trek series potentially using the anthology format. In late August, Berg and Harberts have developed a "roadmap" for the second season, and "the beginning of" for the third. It also reveals that the average first season episode finally cost US $ 8-8.5 million each, making it one of the most expensive television series ever and surpassing the original Netflix deal, although CBS still considers the series to be paid for because of the number of new All Access customers that the event will serve. After the series premiere, Kurtzman said that producers want to avoid announcing the release date and should postpone them for each coming season, due to external pressure caused by the first season, but he hopes the second season will be available in early 2019. The second season is officially ordered in October 2017, for 13 episodes.
Write
The author of this series is based in Los Angeles, and includes "fans who all have a very different relationship with Trek ," which Kurtzman says is "a healthy thing and that's a good thing". Fuller wanted to distinguish the series from the previous 700 episodes of Star Trek by using All Access streaming format and telling a storyline throughout the first season. He and Kurtzman developed this story from "so many elements of Star Trek ", took certain episodes from the original series and used their "DNA" to discover "Star Trek's passion what I offer, both in terms of high science fiction stories and metaphors that are truly beautiful for human conditions ". Berg said the series writers were so in love with the "Original Series , The
This titular ship is named after Discovery One from 2001: A Space Odyssey , NASA Space Shuttle Discovery , and "a sense of discovery... what is it [meaning] to the audiences of Star Trek that have been promised the future by Gene Roddenberry where we come together as a planet and seek new worlds and new alien races to explore and understand and collaborate with. " Fuller sees the series as a bridge between the Enterprise and the original series - which is set around 150 years old - but adjusts closer to the last to allow the series to "play with all the iconography of the ships and the uniform". In May 2017, Sullivan described the series as an "original prequel" for the original series, with Goldsman later adding that there are many classic elements of Star Trek that fans among the authors wanted to include in the series but could not because they are included in the original series as something found by Starfleet for the first time. The choice to feature a single series of stories throughout the first season was inspired by the general changes on television to tell a more realistic and serialized story rather than a "new destination-based weekly adventure" format mostly used in previous Star Trek series. Fuller was one of several writers during the 1990s that encouraged the Deep Space Nine and Voyager to move towards this style. Also inspired by the modern, "peak television" series such as Game of Thrones is the willingness to kill the main characters for dramatic reasons, although the authors want to avoid doing it haphazardly or for "surprise value".
Fuller said the series could "push the contents of the envelopes as it will not be limited by broadcast standards", but "it's still Star Trek." It might be a bit more graphical content... I imagine we'll take some scenes how and see what feels more authentic in the editing space. "Harberts eventually described the series as" hard PG-13 ", saying the series can include" some rough or a little language "but they still want the show for the family and for "respect what franchises have.". "In using the time travel in the series, the plot device used in at least two episodes of each previous Star Trek live-action episode, Fuller said that it has not been used for any episodes at the end of August 2016, and , "You never know when you want to unplug it but I do not anticipate too much time-relaying to tell the story this season." The author of this series also chose to ignore Gene Roddenberry's old rule that Starfleet crew members have no significant conflict with each other others or are described negatively (a rule that Roddenberry himself does not always follow.) Harberts explains, "We try to do complex stories, with characters with strong views and strong passions. People have to make mistakes - mistakes will still be done in the future. We will still argue in the future... the thing we take from Roddenberry is how we resolve the conflict. "Because the event poses as a prequel to the original series, the producers feel it's more important for Discovery to build toward the Roddenberry ideals, and to show that" you can not just accept and tolerate without working for it, and so this show is about the struggle. "
Casting
In June 2016, Fuller had met with some actors, and said that "we want to continue what Star Trek is doing very well, being progressive.So it is interesting to see all these roles through colorblind prisms and gender prisms- blind ". A month later, Kadin explained that this series will feature minority characters, women, and LGBTQ. In August, Fuller said the series will feature "about seven" main characters, and will star in a lieutenant commander, rather than a captain of a ship like the previous Star Trek series, to be played by a non-white actress.. He said the series will also include more foreign characters than the other Star Trek series, and will feature at least one gay character publicly. Fuller, who is gay himself, has been determined to see this happen since receiving a hate mail when working on Voyager when a character on the show is rumored to be out as gay. At the moment, Fuller has been discussing serial casting with Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space (who made a cameo appearance in an episode of The Next Generation).
An anticipated casting announcement in October 2016, but nothing was made at the end of that month. The majority of the main characters of the series are believed to have been cast at the time, but no actress has been cast for the lead role of the series. This is the source of some "internal pressures" on CBS. Some African American and Latina actresses are being reviewed for the role, with CBS "not looking for big stars and [preferring] a new face for that part." In October, the players are believed to include "female admiral, male captain Klingon, male admiral, male adviser and British male doctor", with one male actor being played openly by gay actors. The following month, Doug Jones and Anthony Rapp were demoted to cast, respectively as Saru and Stamet Science Officers. The first is Kelpien, an alien race made for the series, while the latter is the first Star Trek character that is conceived and announced as gay. Sonequa Martin-Green plays a major role in December, which was officially confirmed in April 2017, with the character name revealed to be Michael Burnham. Also in December, Shazad Latif served as Klingon Kol. In March 2017, Jason Isaacs served as Captain Lorca of the USS Discovery, and Mary Wiseman joined Tilly, a cadet. In late April, Latif was revealed to have reconstituted Starfleet Lt. Tyler's role. In the series, this role proved to be an undercover persona used by Klingon Voq, which was originally credited as portrayed by the actor Javid Iqbal created to hide the fact that Latif describes both Voq and Tyler. Design
Mark Worthington and Todd Cherniawsky served as initial production designers for this series; Gersha Phillips and Suttirat Anne Larlarb designed the costumes; the veteran designer of Star Trek John Eaves designed the spacecraft, along with Scott Schneider; and Glenn Hetrick and Neville Page of Alchemy Studios provide prosthetics, props, and armor. Page previously served as creator drafts and designers on three movie "Kelvin Timeline" Star Trek . The series also employs seven art directors, more than nine illustrators, more than thirty-five designers, and more than four hundred and fifty painters, carpenters, sculptors, model makers, welders, tailors, and prop builders.
Fuller said on the general approach to design at the show, "we produce the show in 2016. We have to update the effect style, set style, makeup style... all the other series that have been produced [at the time] are not as sophisticated as we are now with what we can do in production, we will rebuild the overall look for the series "and for Star Trek move forward. Fuller wanted the series uniform to reflect the main colors of the original series, but this was discarded after his departure. However, Fuller's design for Klingon, which he "really wants" to redesign, is maintained. 3D "advanced" 3D printing techniques are widely used in series manufacturing. For prosthetics, Page and Hetrick took detailed laser scans from actors so they could simulate makeup and prosthetics in a virtual environment before making practical versions. Fabrics for Starfleet uniforms that are seen in a special colored series in Switzerland; his costumes were cut and collected in Toronto by Phillips and his department. The main uniforms seen in this series are navy blue that is specially blended for the show, with gold or silver decorations depending on the division of officers. Medical personnel use a variant of "white hospital", also dyed specially in Switzerland, while the captain's uniform is a standard navy blue but with the addition of gold pipe on the shoulder. The badge of the Starfleet badge is printed from bronze silicon, and then polished and plated by jewelry to create a special color for the series, based on the division of officers wearing the uniform: gold for command, silver for science and medical, and copper for surgery. Props like tricorders and hand scanners, communicators, and phasers are manufactured with 3D printing and are heavily inspired by their designs in the original Star Trek series.
The design of USS Discovery is based on the unused Ralph McQuarrie design for the USS Enterprise of the Star Trek: Planet of the Titans, which has not been produced Fuller noted in July 2016 was "up to the point where we can not legally comment on it until [our legal team] knows some things." McQuarrie's design is based on the concept created by Ken Adam to show the ship with a flat, secondary hull. Fuller wanted "something different about what Star Trek would see" like, and after seeing McQuarrie's design "saw some sort of a tougher ship line and started talking about race cars and Lamborghini in the 70s and James Bond cars and start working on designs, take inspiration and produce something truly unique to us. "The design for Discovery has undergone several revisions and improvements before the final version is approved on December 2016. The sickbay on Discovery was inspired by the company from the original series. Other Federation spacecraft made for the show include USS Shenzhou and USS Europa . The interior Discovery ' set is described as "a braid of corridors and rooms", and is designed to fit the exterior design of the ship, so "[Credible] rooms fit inside the house", but there are some artistic licenses taken in place. The graphics used for Starfleet computer systems are designed to be trusted ahead of modern technology, but also to "respect the look and feel" of the designs used in the previous series. The initial colors allowed for graphics are mostly limited to blues, with this goal being more colored the closer the series to the time period of the original series.
The opening title sequence for the event was created by Prolog using 2D graphics motion. The sequence, which uses "a clear, sepia-soaked palette", describes elements from throughout Star Trek's history - such as the Vulcan phasers, communicators, and poetry - and deconstructs them, which is intended to be a tribute to the last Star Trek series and the introduction of a more groundless and sandy tone of Discovery . Filming
Star Trek: Discovery was filmed at Pinewood Toronto Studios. Some of the series' series took over six weeks to make, and the new set is being built until the end of production this season. Discovery takes advantage of some soundstage in the studio, including the biggest soundstage in North America. Some episodes for the show were filmed only on the existing set, making them a bottle episode, although Harberts said the series would not do anything "as a y-bottle as 'everyone is stuck in the mess hall!'"
For the visual scope of the series, Kurtzman felt that the show should "justify being in premium cable services". The showrunners were heavily inspired by Star Trek: The Motion Picture and the wider scope, with Harberts explaining that this series was taken in a 2: 1 aspect ratio that is "just perfect for a very lyrical way of telling a story. "He added that some of the visual series were influenced by modern JJ Abrams' Star Trek movies. Some of these influences, by Goldsman, are "the ability to be creatively cinematic... intimate discourse, humanistic stories with the giant canvas of Star Trek." A more kinetic camera, a more dynamic way than there is, much larger. so when you run in the corridor, you run in the corridor, rhythm rhythm... there is a sense of flexibility, a kind of flexibility in characterization. "The producers teamed up with pilot director David Semel to make this series look as cinematic as possible, including shooting the Starfleet ship bridge with a way like "do not shoot in a sort of proscenium box... to be able to get the camera into a space where, you know, to shoot in an interesting way, which is a combination of scene choreography to motivate camera moves, as well as lighting." The cinematographers for the series wants to emphasize the setting of the source, with built light wherever naturally will appear to help tu create a more realistic feel, and keep the series from the "stage" nuance of the original series. Lighting can also be controlled to create completely different situations, such as Starfleet star warning lighting. Harberts said that the cinematographer wanted this series to have "Rembrandt texture".
Visual effects
Producers of visual effects were hired to begin work on the series during the initial writing period, with Fuller explaining that the series would require things like "digital augmentation in certain alien species" and "beam transporter". He said, "We are trying to cultivate a different appearance for all the things that are unique to our version of Star Trek and bringing through a theme we love in fifty years of Star Trek , but takes a slightly different approach. "Pixomondo is the main visual effects vendor for this series, with Spin VFX and Crafty Apes also working on the show. Kurtzman notes that this series uses several CG environments that take several months to render properly. Airplane bays from Discovery are actually produced by computers, with actors appearing in front of a green screen for scenes in that neighborhood; using digital sets is more expensive than other sets made for the series, including the ones that are practically built.
Music
The first teaser for this series featured music composed by Fil Eisler, whom he "threw together as an audition" within three weeks. Before production in the series began, Charles Henri Avelange has also compiled and recorded music for the series, which he described as "a showcase for CBS". In July 2017, Jeff Russo was announced as the composer for this series. Russo recorded a series score with a 60 piece orchestra. The main theme of this event combines elements of the original Star Trek theme . Soundtrack albums for two chapters of the first season were released on December 15, 2017, and April 6, 2018, respectively.
Release
The first episode of Star Trek: Discovery premiered in "preview broadcast" on CBS in the United States on September 24th, and is also available with a second episode on CBS All Access. The first episode run, which composes the first half of the season, is streamed weekly in All Access until 12 November. The second chapter began streaming in January 2018.
CBS Studios International licensed the series to Bell Media for broadcast in Canada, and to Netflix for 188 other countries. In Canada, the premiere is broadcasted on CBS on September 24, 2017, on both the CTV Television Network and on Space special channels before being streamed on CraveTV; it is also broadcast in France on a dedicated channel Z. The next episode will be released via Space, Z, and CraveTV, with Space showing every 30 minute episode before being streamed to All Access. In other countries, Netflix will release every episode of the series for streaming within 24 hours after its debut in the US. The agreement also sees Bell Media and Netflix get all the Star Trek series for the whole stream, and for broadcast on Bell Media's television channel.
Marketing
The first full trailer for the series was released in May 2017. Merrill Barr noted that the trailer is a good sign for many who believe the series will never be released following many setbacks and production decline, said, "Having a legitimate trailer that can be watched many times brings signs of hope, especially for fans who have waited more than a year for this moment. Star Trek: Discovery is real , and now we have proof. "Chris Harnick from E! The news depicts the trailer as "pretty" and "really cinematic", and because of Sarek and Klingon's appearances in the recording, "this is a Star Trek you know and love." Aja Romano at Vox mentions visual footage of "luxury" and "modern, but still very much in line with the previous aesthetic series Tracks ". He continued, "What is of short concern in this trailer is a thoroughly series plot... In any case, seeing Klingon in all their aggressive glory feels a bit like coming home to fans." Also in May, McFarlane Toys signed a toy licensing agreement with CBS to generate "figures, role playing weapons and accessories" for Discovery . Vice President of CBS's Consumer Product Veronica Hart explained that McFarlane was voted the first license holder for the series because of "its commitment to quality and dedication to the fans". The deal will also see the company "making merchandise from all over the world of Star Trek, ranging from classic Star Trek: The Original Series to its popular movie franchise." The first merchandise produced under the deal is set for release in mid-2018.

After Tracks
In July 2016, CBS was working on a companion series thereafter for Discovery in a format similar to AMC Talking Dead , the companion of The Walking Dead . The show will go live after every episode of Discovery , and will feature "guests, Trekkies celebrities, former Star Trek actors , along with cast and crew" from Discovery . The companion series is confirmed in 2017, under the title After Tracks and host Matt Mira. It was produced by Embassy Row in conjunction with Roddenberry Entertainment.
Publish
In September 2016, author of Discovery Kirsten Beyer announced that CBS is working with IDW and Simon & amp; Schuster to produce more content that revolves around a series setting, starting with at least one novel and a comic series associated with a television show. Beyer, author of many Star Trek novels: Voyager , explains that he will work with the writer of Star Trek's Star Trek novelist David Mack and Star Trek's Mike Johnson ensuring that all three media "come from the same place". The release of the book and the comic coincided with the premiere of the series. Mack describes writing around the continuity of Discovery as "difficult to get right", because the time period "is light in detail and almost unique in Star Trek's continuity." It is a challenge to represent that era faithfully while remaining true to the new elements introduced "in the new series.
In August 2017, Beyer explained the series 'authors' intentions for additional content, saying, "We want to be able to take the chance stories that we just frankly will not have time to cover on the show, and go as far into the various formats we can It's not that you should read these stories to understand everything, but the story will be greatly improved if you do. "Regarding whether this content would be considered canonical, Beyer said comic and novel stories were briefed back to the writing staff so that" which we create can be integrated into their brains, "but he also said," Because of the collaborative nature of this process, we can go further, take bigger risks, the danger is that, in the future, someone will come up with a story idea that will be unbelievable to what we have built and as always, this series will be a priority the hope is that we can carve out these safe places and that we can continue to protect as much as we want this to be a unified universe... we do what we can to make sure these stories fit together to move forward. "
Novel
The first bout for the show is the Desperate Clock , a prequel set one year before Discovery and a year after "The Cage". Written by Mack, the novel was released on September 26, and follows Burnham as he serves on the Shenzhou ship. Fuller has requested a book to be written on the premise, and Mack has worked with Discovery writers to stay in the loop all season with all the scripts and progress stories.There are some false beginnings, but ultimately allow us to make this story collaborative ". Mack suggests that the USS Enterprise can also appear in the novel.
The second Drastic Measures, written by Dayton Ward and set 10 years before the show, follows the characters Georgiou and Lorca as they hunt for "men whose history will one day be branded" Kodos the Executioner '". The album was released on February 6, 2018. The third novel, Fear Itself , will be released on June 5, 2018. Written by Star Trek veteran James Swallow, will focus on Lieutenant Saru's efforts to overcome his fear as Kelpien and become a successful Starfleet officer.
Comics
In July 2017, IDW announced its first tie-in comic series, also titled Star Trek: Discovery, to be written by Johnson and Beyer with artwork by Tony Shasteen, who previously worked with Johnson on comics < i> Star Trek: Boldly Go . IDW described the comic as "Klingon-centric", and set the first edition for release on 25 October. Johnson compares his work with Beyer on comics for his work on Star Trek: Countdown comic, a tie-in the 2009 Star Trek movie he wrote with Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, saying his position as " the staff writer at the Discovery show means we have all the parts in the access we need.So the story in the comics will be really important and not just feels like just one time.This can actually expand the story that will seen by you on the show itself. "
In August, it was clarified that the first comics would be a four-issue miniseries focused on T'Kuvma and his followers and that IDW intends to create a series of miniseries based on different aspects of the series to create "stories targeted at several different subjects". Johnson stated that they "build character in the Klingon world with these comics, and we can not wait to show it to you." He added that discussions were being held on the subject of the next miniseries. IDW Editor Sarah Gaydos said, "The access we get for the show to make these comics that are an integral part of spawning the backstories of the characters is unheard of, and I do a lot of licensed comics." The next four edition miniseries were announced in February 2018. With the subtitle Succession , the miniseries will begin to be released on April 25, 2018, and will be set in the Mirror Universe, expanding on the Mirror story arc from the second half of the first season. In addition, the annual comics of Star Trek: Discovery are set for publication in March 2018, and will focus on Stamets mycelium research. Star Trek Timelines
