At Friday afternoon’s Star Trek: Discovery Comic Con panel, executive producer Alex Kurtzman first revealed that Season 2 of the series would be preceded by a set of four “short films,” called Short Treks, starting this Fall.

Two of the 10-15 minute entries will focus on Tilly (Mary Wiseman) and Saru (Doug Jones) — and a third will be directed by Rainn Wilson and center on Harry Mudd — but the fourth will be the first to feature a yet-unseen character in the Discovery universe.

The new character, called Craft, will be portrayed by actor Aldis Hodge, and tell the story of “a man who finds himself the only human on board a deserted ship” — and that story will be told by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Michael Chabon.

While his contribution was first revealed over the weekend, the author himself shared his involvement on Instagram today, posting an image of himself on the Star Trek: Discovery set from earlier this summer to see his Short Trek — revealed to be called “Calypso” — filmed under the direction of Discovery resident executive producer Olatunde Osunsanmi, who also helmed two episodes of the first season.

While there isn’t much more known about Chabon’s episode at this time, the title “Calypso” may refer to the name of Craft’s vessel — but that’s just our speculation.

We’ll bring you more information on Discovery’s “Short Treks” as it breaks, so keep coming back to TrekCore for all the latest on the show.
