To see her finally get her moment is a dream come true in a year that\u2019s shown me the incredible power of never giving up on your dreams. We can\u2019t wait to share what\u2019s in store for you, and until then: live long and prosper (unless Emperor Georgiou decrees otherwise)!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the way back in 2017, before the first season of <em>Star Trek: Discovery<\/em> had even aired, Michelle had the idea to do a spin-off for her character, Philippa Georgiou,\u201d said Kurtzman. \u201cShe broke new ground as one of the first two women on screen in the pilot to usher in a new age of <em>Trek<\/em>, and now, six years later, <em>Star Trek: Section 31<\/em> finally arrives on the heels of her latest groundbreaking win. Everyone on Team <em>Trek<\/em> couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to have our legendary friend return home to us as we expand our storytelling into new and uncharted corners of the Trekverse. Long live Emperor Georgiou; long live Michelle Yeoh!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled that <em>Star Trek: Section 31<\/em> will be the next title in our <em>Star Trek<\/em> universe,\u201d said Domenic DiMeglio, chief marketing officer and head of data at Paramount Streaming. \u201cMichelle Yeoh is an incomparable talent\u2014she brought Emperor Georgiou to life in such an incredibly fun and nuanced way that the character immediately became a fan favorite. We\u2019re so thrilled to welcome Michelle back to the <em>Star Trek<\/em> and Paramount+ family and can\u2019t wait for fans to see what this special movie event has in store.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor years, we\u2019ve been looking forward to Michelle Yeoh one day returning to <em>Star Trek<\/em>,\u201d added David Stapf, president of CBS Studios. \u201cHer powerful performance as Captain and Emperor Georgiou was a pivotal moment for the return of the franchise, and her portrayal resonated with fans around the world in a multitude of ways. We couldn\u2019t be prouder to join forces with Michelle once again as we continue to explore the <em>Star Trek<\/em> universe, celebrate its legacy and chart a course for the future of the franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paramount+ has greenlit the original movie event Star Trek: Section 31, with Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh reprising her role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou from Star Trek: Discovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":18560,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[2557,4077,5517,6523,6524,4203,1116,6525,1149,6526],"class_list":["post-18559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-alex-kurtzman","tag-cbs-studios","tag-david-stapf","tag-domenic-dimeglio","tag-michelle-yeoh","tag-paramount","tag-roddenberry-entertainment","tag-secret-hideout","tag-star-trek-discovery","tag-star-trek-section-31","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
