After nearly 18 months of waiting, Star Trek: Discovery finally returns for its third season this week with “That Hope is You, Part 1” which launches the new year of episodes following the Discovery crew’s voyage into the far future.
Landing in the 32nd century — in the year 3188, to be precise — Commander Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) crashes to a desolate planet where she meets Cleveland “Book” Booker (new castmember David Ajala), who introduces her to the new universe in which Star Trek: Discovery will take place.
This is the first episode from Discovery production’s location travel to Iceland, which stands in for the alien planet visited in this new storyline.
Here are eight new photos from the Season 3 premiere, along with eight previously-released images:
Finally, if you didn’t catch it at the end of the Star Trek: Lower Decks season finale, here’s a new preview for the upcoming season, along with a clip from the opening moments of the season premiere that was released during last week’s virtual New York Comic Con event.
THAT HOPE IS YOU, PART 1 — Arriving 930 years in the future, Burnham navigates a galaxy she no longer recognizes while searching for the rest of the U.S.S. Discovery crew.
