Star Trek: Discovery
Star Trek: Section 31 is an upcoming American science fiction television film directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi and written by Craig Sweeny for the streaming service Paramount+. It is intended to be the first television film, and the fourteenth film overall, in the Star Trek franchise and part of executive producer Alex Kurtzman's expanded Star Trek Universe. A spin-off from the series Star Trek: Discovery, the film is set in the franchise's "lost era" between the Star Trek: The Original Series films and the series Star Trek: The Next Generation. It follows Philippa Georgiou as she works with Section 31, a secret division of Starfleet tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, and must face the sins of her past.

Michelle Yeoh stars as Georgiou, reprising her role from Discovery. Development on a spin-off television series with Yeoh was confirmed in January 2019, but filming was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. A different Discovery spin-off series, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, was then prioritized. Section 31 was redeveloped into a film, which was announced in April 2023. Omari Hardwick, Kacey Rohl, Sam Richardson, Sven Ruygrok, Robert Kazinsky, Humberly Gonzalez, and James Hiroyuki Liao also star in the film, which is produced by CBS Studios in association with Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment. Filming took place in Toronto, Canada, from January to March 2024.

Star Trek: Section 31 is scheduled to be released on the streaming service Paramount+ on January 24, 2025.

Premise
Emperor Philippa Georgiou joins Section 31, a secret division of Starfleet tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, and must face the sins of her past.[1]

Cast
Michelle Yeoh as Philippa Georgiou:
The leader of the Terran Empire in the Mirror Universe who has travelled to the Prime Universe and joined Starfleet.[2][3] Yeoh hoped the character would not lose her "edge" as Emperor Georgiou, despite learning lessons about compassion and humanity during her time on Star Trek: Discovery.[4] Georgiou left that series and travelled to a different point in the Star Trek timeline,[5] where she is the owner of the Baraam, a nightclub outside Federation space.[6] Miku Martineau portrays a young Georgiou.[7]
Omari Hardwick as Alok:
A Section 31 agent who is a "strategic mastermind" with "a lot of mental issues". Alok wants Georgiou to pay for her past by joining his team for a covert mission.[6][8]
Kacey Rohl as Rachel Garrett: The future captain of the USS Enterprise-C,[9] who represents Starfleet on the Section 31 team[8]
Sam Richardson as Quasi:
A Section 31 agent who is "disinterested in the delusion of 'utopia'". Quasi is a Chameloid, the shapeshifting alien species introduced in the film Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991).[6][8][10]
Sven Ruygrok as Fuzz: A Section 31 agent described as a "fun-loving guy" with an anger management problem[6][8]
Robert Kazinsky as Zeph: A Section 31 agent who lives and works in a mechanical exoskeleton. Zeph does whatever Alok tells him to do.[6][8]
Humberly Gonzalez as Melle: A Section 31 agent who uses her "irresistible magnetism" to the division's benefit, unlike other Deltans in Starfleet who take an oath of celibacy[6][8]
James Hiroyuki Liao[11]
Production
Background
During production on the first season of Star Trek: Discovery, special guest star Michelle Yeoh suggested to executive producer Alex Kurtzman that they make a spin-off series featuring her character Philippa Georgiou.[12] Yeoh made the suggestion because she loved playing the character, and because she wanted to be a role model for young Asian women. Kurtzman was enthusiastic about the idea, but was unsure if a spin-off would be feasible since Discovery had not yet been released. After Yeoh's performance received positive responses, the writers of Discovery began exploring the black ops division Section 31 as part of her storyline in the second season. That led to further discussions about a potential spin-off series.[13] In June 2018, after becoming sole showrunner of Discovery, Kurtzman signed a five-year overall deal with CBS Television Studios to expand the Star Trek franchise beyond Discovery to several new series, miniseries, and animated series.[14] Yeoh was in talks to star in a spin-off series by November, which was expected to follow her character's Section 31 storyline.[2]

The streaming service CBS All Access confirmed it was moving ahead with development on the spin-off in January 2019, with Discovery writers Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt set as writers and showrunners.[15] Kurtzman said the project was intended to be an ongoing series rather than a limited miniseries,[12] and added that Kim and Lippoldt had begun writing while still working on the second season of Discovery. It was his hope that the new series would be ready to begin production once the third season of Discovery was completed.[16][17] In March 2019, CBS Television Studios president David Stapf said the spin-off would be produced in Toronto, Canada, like Discovery, but it was "a good couple of years away",[18] with Kurtzman expecting it to be released in 2021 or 2022.[17] Yeoh confirmed that she was working on the series the next month.[3] Kurtzman said Discovery's writers were aware that their portrayal of Section 31 was inconsistent with the organization's introduction in the series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and the spin-off would show its evolution from their version to its original depiction, specifically why it becomes an "underground organization".[19] Kurtzman cited Killing Eve and the Mission: Impossible franchise as influences and said Georgiou would be "a protagonist who's entirely unreliable. At the end of the day, she's going to do the right thing, but in the exact wrong way."[20] In July, Shazad Latif indicated that he could be reprising his Discovery role of Ash Tyler in the spin-off.[21] A writers' room had been established by the end of November, and Kurtzman said the completed pilot script "occupies an area of the Trek universe that's never really been explored geographically. It has a new mythology to it". He also compared the series to the film Unforgiven (1992).[22]

By the end of January 2020, the series was set to be filmed from May to November 2020,[23] in the newly opened CBS Stages Canada in Mississauga, near Toronto.[24][25] In February 2020, the series was reportedly renewed for a second season to allow the first two seasons to be filmed back-to-back.[26] Production on the third season of Discovery was completed that month, but filming on the spin-off was delayed by Yeoh's commitment to the film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) which was set to be filmed from January to May.[24][25] Plans to instead begin filming the spin-off series in May were soon delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic,[25][27] with Kurtzman later stating that their plans for the series had been "thrown completely into whack" by the pandemic.[28] By August 2020, Kim and Lippoldt were working with Discovery writer Craig Sweeny to build the series; Sweeny previously served as showrunner on the Kurtzman-produced series Limitless.[13] Kurtzman said the writers had been able to "get quite ahead in scripts" due to the production delays.[29] A month later, frequent Star Trek director Jonathan Frakes said Kim and Lippoldt were optimistic that the series would be made despite work starting on a different Discovery spin-off series, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Frakes had asked to direct Section 31's pilot episode but said a female director would likely be hired since the series was primarily a "woman's story".[30] In March 2021, ViacomCBS announced that CBS All Access would be expanded and rebranded as Paramount+.[31]

The third season of Discovery writes out Georgiou in the two-part episode "Terra Firma", released in December 2020, which was co-written by Kim and Lipoldt. They said the character's storyline for the season was developed with "a lot of care", and it ends with her being transported to an unknown place and time where the spin-off is set.[5] Yeoh said she hoped work on the spin-off could continue "very soon".[4] In February 2021, Kurtzman said there was still conversations taking place about making the series,[32] and he was optimistic about it eventually happening due to the already completed scripts.[28] However, he said the spin-off was unlikely to be added to Paramount+'s slate of Star Trek Universe series until one of the existing five series came to an end.[32] In February 2022, Kurtzman said the Section 31 spin-off was still in development and his team were planning Star Trek series that would be released two or three years later.[33] The series was expected to get a pickup from Paramount+ soon after.[34] In May, Kurtzman said he and his team were focusing on developing Section 31 and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy as the next two Star Trek series.[35] No further announcements had been made by January 2023, when Paramount Streaming's chief programming officer Tanya Giles said the spin-off was still in development.[36]

Development
In March 2023, after revealing that Discovery would be ending with its fifth season, Kurtzman expressed interest in making more limited event series and television films for the Star Trek franchise rather than just traditional ongoing television series. He reiterated that the project was still in development.[37] A month later, Paramount+ announced that Star Trek: Section 31 was moving forward as a streaming "event film" instead of a series. Yeoh was attached to reprise her role in the film, which was written by Sweeny and set to be directed by Discovery executive producer Olatunde Osunsanmi.[1] The film was described as "Mission: Impossible meets Guardians of the Galaxy". Kurtzman had begun converting the project from a series to a film in mid-2022, after realizing that Yeoh could win an Academy Award for her role in the film Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) and her schedule would likely get much busier. He and other executives had already been interested in expanding the franchise to event projects and were concerned about oversaturating the franchise with too many ongoing television series.[38]

Production was initially expected to begin in late 2023,[1] reportedly in October,[39] before it was delayed by the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes.[40] In May 2023, Latif said he had not heard if he would be involved in the film but expressed interest in reprising his role.[41] In mid-October, after the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike ended, Kurtzman said work on the film was underway again.[40] He announced the start of filming in January 2024, when additional cast members were revealed: Omari Hardwick, Kacey Rohl, Sam Richardson, Sven Ruygrok, Robert Kazinsky, Humberly Gonzalez, and James Hiroyuki Liao.[11] Rohl plays a young version of Rachel Garrett,[9] who was portrayed by Tricia O'Neil in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" where she is the captain of the USS Enterprise-C.[42] Sweeny said viewers would not need to recognize Garrett to enjoy the film as he wanted a "low barrier of entry" for new fans.[9] Osunsanmi said the film's supporting characters had changed from when the project was planned to be a television series, and those rewrites were why Latif was no longer reprising his role. Latif's involvement in the series would have been related to the Temporal Wars from Star Trek: Enterprise.[43] Joe Pingue, Miku Martineau, and Augusto Bitter were also cast in the film.[44]

The film is set in the franchise's "lost era" between the Star Trek: The Original Series films and the series Star Trek: The Next Generation. Osunsanmi said this setting gave them some freedom, but they still had to ensure that the technology and other aspects of the setting were appropriate for the time period.[43] Discussing concerns about making a film focused on Section 31, Sweeny acknowledged that the idea was "almost antagonistic to some of the values of Star Trek" but felt there was room in Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's vision for people who do not want to work together on the bridge of a Starfleet ship.[9] Osunsanmi said they "worked really hard to make sure we kept up the ideals of optimism and kept up the ideals of what do we want our society to be in the future". He compared Section 31 to the CIA and secretive government agencies focused on UFOs.[43]

Filming
Filming began at Pinewood Toronto Studios in Toronto, Canada, on January 29, 2024,[45][11] under the working title Dovercourt.[39] Pinewood Toronto Studios is where Discovery was produced,[45] and sets from that series were repurposed for the film.[9] Filming for Section 31 took place concurrently with production on the third season of Strange New Worlds at nearby CBS Stages Canada, and the two productions shared use of visual effects company Pixomondo's Toronto video wall stage for virtual production.[45] Glen Keenan returned from Discovery and Strange New Worlds as cinematographer for the film.[11][better source needed]

Osunsanmi said he pushed the crew harder than he would when directing an episode of a television series because the whole project was over within a few months rather than the extended "marathon" schedule of a season of television. He said "we got to push everything to the extreme... emotion, performances, action, you name it". Osunsanmi was also able to breakdown the entire script and map out how he wanted to "tie everything together by the end". He chose to reconsider his creative and visual approach so it would be "new and fresh" rather than approaching the film in the same way that he had episodes of Discovery. He noted that Kurtzman wanted each Star Trek project to have its own "flavor".[43] Production on Section 31 was expected to take six weeks, ending on March 13;[45] Kazinsky announced the end of filming on March 21.[44]

Post-production
The final cut of the film was locked by mid-October 2024, with a runtime of just under two hours. Additional dialogue recording (ADR), visual effects, and color grading were underway at that time.[43]

Music
In January 2020, Discovery composer Jeff Russo expressed interest in also composing the score for Section 31, but said that may not be possible due to his workload and the large number of Star Trek series being produced around the same time. He suggested that he could oversee other composers for Section 31 and other series if Kurtzman asked him to.[46] Russo was confirmed to be composing the film's score in July 2024.[47]

Marketing
Kurtzman, Osunsanmi, Hardwick, Richardson, and Rohl promoted the film during a "Star Trek Universe" panel at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2024. A teaser trailer was shown during the event, introduced by Yeoh via a video message. It was also released online. James Hibberd at The Hollywood Reporter said the teaser had a "rebellious tone" for the franchise, beginning with a warning from Starfleet about "misfit content", using a different style of title graphics from previous Star Trek projects, highlighting Georgiou's history of murder and calling her a "bad bitch", and being set to the contemporary song "Formation" by Beyoncé.[7] Christian Blauvelt of IndieWire and James Whitbrook of Gizmodo both noted the different tone from previous Star Trek projects, with Blauvelt calling it "a vibe like we've never gotten from Star Trek" and highlighting the use of the term "bad bitch".[48][49] Michael Walsh at Nerdist said the teaser was "incredibly fun",[50] while Mick Joest at CinemaBlend praised the action and cast. He questioned why a Star Trek film starring Yeoh was not receiving a theatrical release.[51] Molly Templeton of Reactor was baffled by the trailer's "wacky" tone and "out-of-place Beyoncé track". She hoped the young Georgiou scenes did not mean the film would be an origin story, and also hoped it did right by its supporting cast.[52] The film was promoted by Hardwick, Rohl, Kazinsky, and Osunsanmi during another "Star Trek Universe" panel at New York Comic Con in October. The release date was announced and Yeoh again appeared via video message.[53]

Release
Star Trek: Section 31 is scheduled to be released on the streaming service Paramount+ on January 24, 2025, in the United States and all other countries where the service is available.[53]

Tie-in media
A one-shot comic book featuring Georgiou and also titled Star Trek: Section 31 is set to be released by IDW Publishing on February 5, 2025. It is written by Alyssa Wong with art by Megan Levans.[54]

Future
In March 2024, Yeoh said she was open to making a sequel if the first film was successful.[9] In October, Osunsanmi said "the door is wide open" for additional Section 31 stories to be told after the film's release.[43]

Paramount+ released the official trailer for its original movie Star Trek: Section 31 during the streamer’s presentation Saturday at CCXP in São Paolo, Brazil.

In the trailer, Michelle Yeoh, who reprises her Star Trek: Discovery role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou, is surprised by an unannounced guest at her space station. “What are you doing in my space station?,” Yeoh’s Philippa asks, to which he replies “I’m giving you a chance to get back in on the action on a galactic scale.” And so Emperor Philippa is pulled back in by the Federation. “What a cute idea,” she adds, making clear she’s ready to go.

PREVIOUS: Paramount+ has set January 24, 2025 for the premiere of its upcoming movie Star Trek: Section 31, starring Michelle Yeoh in a reprisal of her Star Trek: Discovery role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou.

The announcement was made Saturday during the Star Trek universe panel at New York Comic Con. Yeoh made a video appearance during the panel, which featured cast members Omari Hardwick, Kacey Rohl and Robert Kazinsky, along with executive producer and director Olatunde Osunsanmi.

Star Trek: Section 31 will premiere exclusively Friday, January 24 in the U.S. and international markets where the service is available.

In the movie, Yeoh’s Emperor Philippa Georgiou joins a secret division of Starfleet. Tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, she also must face the sins of her past.

In addition to Yeoh, Hardwick, Rohl and Kazinsky, cast includes Sam Richardson, Sven Ruygrok, Humberly Gonzalez and James Hiroyuki Liao. Miku Martineau portrays a young Philippa Georgiou.

Written by Craig Sweeny and directed by Osunsanmi, Star Trek: 31 is executive produced by Alex Kurtzman, Sweeny, Aaron Baiers, Osunsanmi, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Rod Roddenberry, Trevor Roth and Michelle Yeoh and is produced by CBS Studios in association with Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment. The movie is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

Star Trek: Section 31
The official trailer for “Star Trek: Section 31” is here, and it’s clear once again that Paramount+ is boldly going into uncharted territory for the franchise: The first ever direct-to-streaming “Star Trek” movie could very well, as Jonathan Frakes noted to IndieWire earlier this year, open up a whole new format for “Star Trek” storytelling — a format that could simply allow for a whole new array of “Star Trek” stories to be told.

Michelle Yeoh is back as sassy, psychopathic Philippa Georgiou, who was the Emperor of the Terran Empire in the mirror universe, where she ate conquered subjects and threw nemeses in her “agony booth” at a whim. She’s joined by Omari Hardwick, Sam Richardson, Robert Kazinsky, Kacey Rohl, Sven Ruygrok, James Hiroyuki Liao, Humberly Gonzalez, and Joe Pingue. Miku Martineau will play young Philippa Georgiou.

Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi, with a screenplay by Craig Sweeny and story by Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt, “Section 31” is expected to focus on Georgiou in the late 23rd or early 24th century (and include an appearance from doomed “Yesterday’s Enterprise” captain, Rachel Garrett), after she parted ways once and for all with the Discovery crew. In this trailer, she’s apparently running her own space station, which is some kind of floating pleasure palace, it looks like. But of course, the Federation pulls her back in.

The existence of Section 31, a clandestine black ops intel organization inside Starfleet, was first revealed on “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” in the ’90s. Generally depicted as morally bankrupt, the idea is that Section 31 is willing to do whatever it takes to protect the Federation. It’s “the ends justify the means” here to protect the rest of the interstellar union and ensure that Starfleet can be as pie-eyed and optimistic and egalitarian as they want to be. As the trailer says here, “to protect the light, they fight in shadow.” Someone has to do the dirty work so everyone else can keep their hands clean.

Is this a betrayal of the Federation’s values? (Or a betrayal of franchise creator Gene Roddenberry’s values?) Well, to many other Starfleet characters depicted in the franchise over the years, it is. (Section 31 was depicted on “Star Trek: Enterprise” as even predating the Federation, existing as early as the 2150s.) It’s also a way for “Star Trek” to have it both ways: If none of your characters have conflict, if they’re all good people, it can be tough to find the drama. By focusing on Section 31, it’s like the writers having fun with being bad. But of course, in very PG-13 terms.

Will it all hold together? We’ll find out, when “Star Trek: Section 31” streams on Paramount+ January 24.

Ready to find out what’s inside Star Trek: Section 31?

Paramount+ has unveiled the official trailer for the upcoming Star Trek spinoff movie — premiering Friday, Jan. 24, 2025 on the streamer — with Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh reprising her Discovery role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou. The trailer debuted during the Paramount+ presentation at CCXP in São Paolo, Brazil on Saturday.

In the trailer for the spinoff series-turned-movie, which you can watch above, Georgiou meets Omari Hardwick’s Alok, who offers her “a chance to get back in on the action on a galactic scale.” And she’s more than happy to kick people across the room again. But it’s not all fun and fisticuffs: They’re facing “a threat unlike anything Starfleet’s ever seen,” Alok warns.

Georgiou finds herself joining a black-ops Starfleet division of secret spies known as Section 31, along with a ragtag bunch of operatives, as we see plenty of punches thrown and plenty of explosions. “Whatever you believed your mission was, it’s worse than you thought,” Georgiou ominously declares.

In addition to Yeoh, Hardwick (Power), Kacey Rohl (Hannibal) and Robert Kazinsky (True Blood), the cast includes Sam Richardson (Veep), Sven Ruygrok (One Piece), Humberly Gonzalez (Ginny & Georgia), James Hiroyuki Liao (Presumed Innocent), and Miku Martineau (Honor Society), as a young Georgiou.

Craig Sweeny penned the movie, which was directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi, and the two served as EPs alongside Yeoh, Alex Kurtzman, Aaron Baiers, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth.

Want scoop on Section 31, or for any other Star Trek TV show?
It looks like Star Trek: Section 31 is already setting up a big Star Trek disappointment. Star Trek: Section 31 is set to debut on Paramount+ on January 24, 2025, and stars Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh reprising her role as Star Trek: Discovery's Emperor Philippa Georgiou. Previously pitched as a new Star Trek series starring Yeoh, Star Trek: Section 31 has shifted scale to become Star Trek's first streaming movie. The Star Trek: Section 31 trailer hints at Georgiou returning to Starfleet's clandestine espionage division in a different era, while also promising action sequences aplenty, stunning set pieces, and gorgeous costumes.

Star Trek: Section 31 is set in the rarely-seen "Lost Era" of Star Trek's timeline, between Star Trek Generations' scenes in 2293 and the 2364 start of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The Lost Era features Starfleet's longest-running uniform, the "Monster Maroon", which debuted in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. This red Starfleet uniform was in use from 2278 to 2349, changing only slightly over the years. The latest chronological Monster Maroon variant is seen on Captain Rachel Garrett's (Tricia O'Neil) USS Enterprise-C crew in Star Trek: The Next Generation season 3, episode 15, "Yesterday's Enterprise".

Section 31 Doesn’t Include Star Trek’s “Lost Era” Starfleet Uniform
Section 31's Star Trek Disappointment Is Its Lack Of Familiar Starfleet Uniforms

Despite being set in the early 24th century, the trailer for Star Trek: Section 31 doesn't include a single look at Star Trek's iconic "Monster Maroon" Starfleet uniform. Its absence indicates that Star Trek: Section 31 isn't going to explore—or update—the aesthetics of Star Trek's "Lost Era", a time period that has seen precious little action throughout Star Trek's many new projects. While representing Starfleet, Section 31's younger Rachel Garrett (Kacey Rohl) should be wearing Captain Garrett's TNG Monster Maroon, or its slimmed-down predecessor with a collarless undershirt, but she isn't.

Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) appeared in an alternate timeline version of the Monster Maroon uniform in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1, episode 10, "A Quality of Mercy". Alternate Pike's uniform featured elements of both the Strange New Worlds uniforms and the classic uniforms from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Star Trek's Lost Era is a time period ripe for further exploration and development. Star Trek: Section 31 is directed by Star Trek: Discovery's Olatunde Osunsanmi, so aesthetic similarities to Discovery make sense. Section 31 could have delivered a modern interpretation of Starfleet in Star Trek's Lost Era, the same way that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds updated the look of Star Trek's 23rd century. Instead of diving deeper into known elements of the Star Trek universe, Star Trek: Section 31 looks like it's trying something new. That doesn't have to be as disappointing as it might first seem.

Why Star Trek: Section 31 Looks To Be Leaning Away From TNG’s Starfleet Look
Section 31 Agents Don't Need Starfleet Uniforms

The Star Trek: Section 31 trailer leans away from the Starfleet look that was in Star Trek: The Next Generatiion's "Yesterday's Enterprise" and other TNG flashbacks, because Starfleet uniforms don't make sense for the plot of Star Trek: Section 31. Section 31 agents are spies, so they're not going to wear Starfleet uniforms while on undercover missions. Georgiou's Section 31 team are outside of Federation space fighting an unknown threat, and wearing Starfleet uniforms would give away the team's allegiances. Even Garrett would look woefully out of place in the Lost Era's Monster Maroon Starfleet uniform.

Even without a single instance of Starfleet's iconic look, Star Trek: Section 31 can recover from potential disappointment with expanded early 24th century world building. Section 31 will show life outside the Federation, which is another rarely seen part of the Star Trek universe that's worth exploring, especially if the rest of the galaxy is more in line with Georgiou's Mirror Universe tactics than with Garrett's Starfleet ideals. If Section 31's gray morality puts the Star Trek: Section 31 team at the center of a classic Star Trek moral dilemma with a good story, the lack of uniforms won't even matter.

A new Star Trek: Section 31 trailer is out today, previewing the upcoming spin-off film of Star Trek: Discovery starring Michelle Yeoh.

What happens in the Star Trek: Section 31 trailer?
The new trailer highlights Yeoh reprising her role of Emperor Philippa Georgiou, who joins up with a secret division of Starfleet to try and protect the United Federation of Planets. Star Trek: Section 31 premieres on January 24, 2025, and will stream exclusively on Paramount+.

Check out the new Star Trek: Section 31 trailer below (watch other trailers and clips):

Star Trek: Section 31 is being directed and executive-produced by Olatunde Osunsanmi from a screenplay written by Craig Sweeny. Alongside Yeoh, the movie also stars Omari Hardwick, Kacey Rohl, Sam Richardson, Sven Ruygrok, Robert Kazinsky, Humberly Gonzalez, and James Hiroyuki Liao.

The film is intended to be the first television film in the Star Trek franchise and is part of Alex Kurtzman’s expanded Star Trek universe, which also includes series like Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and Lower Decks, among others.

“In this new original movie, Academy Award® winner Michelle Yeoh reprises her Star Trek: Discovery role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou, who joins a secret division of Starfleet. Tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, she also must face the sins of her past,” reads the film’s official synopsis.
Michelle Yeoh is on a mission to save the Federation in the first trailer for Star Trek: Section 31. The first-ever streaming original Star Trek movie will premiere exclusively on Paramount+ on January 24, 2025.

In the trailer, Philippa Georgioiu (Yeoh), once the ruler of an empire in another dimension, is now running a nightclub on a space station. However, like so many reluctant heroes before her, someone's offering her one last mission. Starfleet is facing "a threat unlike anything it's ever seen", and now, billions of lives are at stake. Georgiou agrees to help, but she's going to need a team.

That team includes mastermind Alok Sahar (Omari Hardwick), shapeshifting Quasi (Sam Richardson), empathic Melle (Humberly Gonzalez), biomechanical muscle Zeph (Rob Kazinsky), Fuzz (Sven Ruygrok), a Vulcan (or Romulan) with an anger problem, and Starfleet representative (and future Enterprise captain) Rachel Garrett (Kacey Rohl), who is there "to make sure no one commits murder." With this crew, she may have her work cut out for her. The trailer also promises space battles, high-speed chases, and one belligerent cyborg. The film was directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi, from a script by Craig Sweeny.

What Is Section 31 in the 'Star Trek' Universe?

Section 31 first appeared in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine — one of that series' many subversions of the utopian conceit of the Federation. It was named after Article 14, Section 31 of the Federation Charter, which gives it extraordinary powers to neutralize threats to galactic peace. Over the course of Deep Space Nine's overarching Dominion War storyline, Section 31 goes to extreme measures to stop the invading Dominion forces, including infecting their leaders with a biological weapon. It has since appeared in a number of Star Trek series, including Star Trek: Enterprise, which revealed that it has been operating since the earliest days of Starfleet, and Star Trek: Lower Decks, where it recruited Brad Boimler's accidentally-created transporter duplicate. It most recently turned up in Star Trek: Discovery, in which it created a rogue artificial intelligence, Control, that nearly gained enough power to wipe out all intelligent life in the galaxy.

The new trailer also features an alien race not seen on Star Trek for over fifty years. One of Georgiou's employees has the bifurcated appearance of the Cheron aliens from the Original Series episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield." Presented as a parable about racism, the Cheron aliens were engaged in a brutal race war, divided into those whose left sides were white, and those whose right sides were white. Although that race was seemingly left with only two survivors at the end of that episode, it is a big galaxy, after all.

Star Trek: Section 31 will stream exclusively on Paramount+ on January 24, 2024. Until then, you can catch up on Philippa Georgioiu's story by streaming Star Trek: Discovery on Paramount+. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
