Star Trek: Discovery Season 3: Will Feature New Captain

Co-Showrunner and Executive Producer of Star Trek: Discovery, Michelle Paradise confirmed that the third season would give USS Discovery a whole new captain. She made this revelation at their CBS panel at this year’s Television Critics Association Press Tour.

In the final episode of the second season, Discovery and a skeleton crew traveled to 930 years in the show’s future, leaving the Captain Christopher Pike behind. Therefore, the Discovery is without a captain, and obviously, it will need one in the upcoming season.



Talking about the possibilities, Commander Saru has served as Discovery’s acting captain on multiple occasions. Also, Emperor Philippa Georgiou has extensive leadership experience. However, the character is supposed to leave the ship in this season, as Michele Yeoh is picking up new Section-31 based series. Or there are also quite many chances that any new character will take up the USS Discovery’s captain chair.

Michelle also teased about the inside details of the Star Trek: Discovery Season 3. According to her, the third season will start with the Discovery in the 32nd century. Also, the ship is not going to return home. As Michelle stated, “We’re there, and we’re living there.”

Discovery and Picard Co-ordinating

The first two seasons of Star Trek: Discovery took place according to the Star Trek timeline. However, the third season will jump quite in future, more than any Star Trek series ever did. Therefore, the story of Discovery will not coincide with the upcoming Star Trek: Picard, or with any other series of the franchise. Still, the creators of both Discovery and Picard are co-ordinating evenly so that the events of the two would not contradict each other.

Showrunner Michelle also discussed that Picard’s executive producer Alex Kurtzman provide every information that they need to be aware of in terms of the history of Star Trek: Discovery.
