Michelle Yeoh’s Star Trek return is officially underway. Paramount+ has announced that production on Star Trek: Section 31—which will see her reprise her memorable Discovery role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou—has begun. And now we also know who else will join the Oscar-winner on her journey of redemption. The studio has also shared the rest of the cast that will be a part of her secret Starfleet group in the Star Trek: Section 31 movie.
Star Trek‘s fan-favorite Terran isn’t heading back to the 32nd century. She’s not even heading back to Star Trek: Discovery, where she made her franchise debut. Instead, she’s on set in this century filming her previously announced spinoff movie. (Which at one time was set to be an entire spinoff series.) Star Trek: Section 31 has officially begun principal photography.
While we don’t yet know when we’ll see the movie on Paramount+, we do have an idea of what to expect from the story. Here’s the film’s official synopsis from the streamer:
In Star Trek: Section 31, Yeoh will reprise her fan-favorite role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou – a character she played in Star Trek: Discovery’s first season – who joins a secret division of Starfleet. Tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, she also must face the sins of her past.

CBS Studios is producing the film in association with Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment.
