Paramount+ today announced it has officially greenlit “STAR TREK: SECTION 31” starring Oscar-award winner Michelle Yeoh. In this special original movie event for the service, Yeoh will return to her role as Emperor Phillipa Georgiou, a character she first played in STAR TREK: DISCOVERY’s first season.
In “STAR TREK: SECTION 31,” Emperor Phillipa Georgiou joins a secret division of Starfleet tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets and faces the sins of her past. Produced by CBS Studios, production will begin later this year.
“I’m beyond thrilled to return to my Star Trek family and to the role I’ve loved for so long,” said Michelle Yeoh. “Section 31 has been near and dear to my heart since I began the journey of playing Phillipa all the way back when this new golden age of Star Trek launched, and to see her finally get her moment is a dream come true in a year that’s shown me the incredible the power of never giving up on your dreams. We can’t wait to share what’s in store for you, and until then: Live long and prosper (unless Emperor Georgiou decrees otherwise)!”
