'Star Trek: Section 31' Original Movie Event Starring Oscar Winner Michelle Yeoh Announced

Paramount+ today announced it has officially greenlit Star Trek: Section 31 starring Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh. In this special original movie event for the service, Yeoh will return to her role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou, a character she first played in Star Trek: Discovery’s first season.

In Star Trek: Section 31, Emperor Philippa Georgiou joins a secret division of Starfleet tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets and faces the sins of her past. Produced by CBS Studios, production will begin later this year.


“I’m beyond thrilled to return to my Star Trek family and to the role I’ve loved for so long,” said Michelle Yeoh. “Section 31 has been near and dear to my heart since I began the journey of playing Philippa all the way back when this new golden age of Star Trek launched. To see her finally get her moment is a dream come true in a year that’s shown me the incredible power of never giving up on your dreams. We can’t wait to share what’s in store for you, and until then: live long and prosper (unless Emperor Georgiou decrees otherwise)!”

My thing is: how many phenotype changes are the Klingons going to go through before they settle on 'This is how they really look'. - ?

the klingons reminded of those creepy easter bunnies. in fact, i skipped the 1st season at 1st. i hate subtitles, and i got half way through the 1st episode, and was- nah.
i went w the flow of stuff from the 1st season came up. then went back and watched it.
