Star Trek: Discovery's place in history will forever be debated, but here's one fact: It kicked off a promising new era of Trek spin-offs, complete with a loopy interstellar vehicle for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Everything Everywhere All At Once- star Michelle Jaha. The Oscar-winning actor stepped out at San Diego Comic-Con 2024 to unveil the trailer for her new film, Star Trek: Section 31, which drops her Discovery character, Philippa Georgiou, (mirror universe warlord) back on the fringes of Federation activity, as part of a "secret division" of the Federation, according to the official Paramount Plus announcement.

First announced in April 2023, Section 31 was originally developed as a spin-off series, but at some point – maybe after an Oscar for Best Actress? — Paramount ultimately decided that a one-shot was the best way to continue her character's story. "Section 31 has been near and dear to my heart since I began the journey of playing Philippa all the way back when this new golden age of Star Trek was launched," Yeoh said in the original announcement. "Seeing her finally get her moment is a dream come true in a year that has shown me the incredible power of never giving up on your dreams."
