CBS is continuing their rollout of Season 2 promotion ahead of January’s Star Trek: Discovery premiere, and following yesterday’s debut of a new trailer and poster for the upcoming episodes, a new behind-the-scenes video from the production has arrived giving us more teases at what’s to come.
Executive producers Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, and Olatunde Osunsanmi each offer a few comments about the production of the upcoming season, and series stars Sonequa Martin-Green (Burnham) and Anson Mount (Pike) also get some time on camera — along with a few small snippets of new episodic footage — but some of the most interesting bits are on-set images from things only previously hinted at before today.
First up is a look at a Starfleet-styled set, but not one that looks to be filled with members of either the Discovery or Enterprise crews. Could this be the “Section 31 Bridge/Lab” set that was first teased all the way back in April?
