Watch the Star Trek Discovery Season 2 First Look Trailer from San Diego Comic-Con
CBS All Access revealed the first look trailer for Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 at the Star Trek panel at San Diego Comic-Con Friday. Bleeding Cool covered the panel in a live blog, but now you can watch the trailer for yourself.
Some more info from the press release:
STAR TREK: DISCOVERY co-creator and executive producer Alex Kurtzman, who directed the season two premiere, also announced at today's panel the plan for STAR TREK: SHORT TREKS. The four SHORT TREKS episodes will roll out monthly beginning this fall, and will be stand-alone stories, each running approximately 10-15 minutes. Each short will be an opportunity for deeper storytelling and exploration of key characters and themes which fit into STAR TREK: DISCOVERY and the expanding "Star Trek" universe.
Rainn Wilson will return to play Harry Mudd in a short he will also direct, and Aldis Hodge will star in another as Craft, a man who finds himself the only human on board a deserted ship. Additional episodes include a deep dive into Saru's (Doug Jones) backstory as the first Kelpien to join Starfleet, and Tilly's (Mary Wiseman) journey aboard the U.S.S. Discovery and her friendship with an unlikely partner.
Co-Creator Alex Kurtzman said:
There is no shortage of compelling stories to tell in the 'Star Trek' universe that inspire, entertain, and either challenge our preconceived ideas or affirm long held beliefs, and we are excited to broaden the universe already with SHORT TREKS. Each episode will deliver closed-ended stories while revealing clues about what's to come on in future STAR TREK: DISCOVERY episodes. They'll also introduce audiences to new characters who may inhabit the larger world of 'Star Trek.'
Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 Debuts on CBS All Access in early 2019, part of the television industry's plans to get you to subscribe individually to every single channel's streaming service in a nightmare scenario that will probably actually end up costing more than cable ever did.
