Star Trek: Discovery Lead Will Be A Woman
• http://www.cbs.comIt's only logical that Star Trek: Discovery would make an appearance at this year's Television Critics Association Summer Tour in Los Angeles. Executive Producer Bryan Fuller made a number of reveals about the upcoming CBS All Access series, which debuts January 2017.
Main Character Details
Announced at the TCA today, the main character of Discovery will be a woman and—in an unprecedented move for the franchise—not the captain of the U.S.S. Discovery (get a look at the ship in the video above).
"We've seen six characters from the captain's point of view," Fuller noted. He added that putting a different character at the center will give the story a richer context.
