Are you ready for a new era of action-packed and intellectually stimulating sci-fi drama? Star Trek: Discovery will soon make its way to television, breathing new life into a beloved franchise. Taking place 10 years before the events of the original Star Trek series starring William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, this latest iteration will center around Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), first officer of the Federation ship USS Shenzhou who was raised by Spock's father and transfers to the Discovery for reasons yet to be revealed. She does so at a tumultuous time when the human-led Federation is in the middle of a Cold War with the often antagonistic Klingons and tensions are brewing.
