Michelle Yeoh might star in a Star Trek: Discovery spinoff

Deadline

Yeoh's Captain Emperor Georgiou could become the second Star Trek character to be spun off into a new CBS All Access series, following in the footsteps of Patrick Stewart's Jean-Luc Picard. According to Deadline's Dominic Patten, Yeoh is in talks to reprise her Star Trek: Discovery role for a stand-alone CBS All Access series. "There is a natural momentum here as Yeoh’s once Captain Philippa Georgiou is already set to return to Discovery in Season 2 after leaping off into the final frontier at the end of Season 1," reports Patten. "Still in the early planning stages, the spinoff looks likely to focus on a continuation of her Discovery Season 2 adventures in Starfleet’s Section 31 division. The semi-secret and autonomous organization has been a part of Trek lore since it was first introduced in the 1990s on the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine series." A CBS All Access spokesperson wouldn't confirm if a Discovery spinoff was in the works.
