The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films has revealed the nominees for the 2018 Saturn Awards and Star Trek: Discovery has earned quite a few.

The Orville star Seth MacFarlane is nominated for Best Actor on a Television Series and co-star Adrianne Palicki is nominated for Best Actress on a Television Series.

The Saturn Awards were originally created to honor science fiction, fantasy and horror movies but has grown to include honors for various genres films, television, and home media releases.

Star Trek Beyond won a Saturn Award last year.

Star Trek: Discovery has been nominated for several other industry awards for its inaugural season.

Star Trek: Discovery received an early second season renewal. The show's writers' room reconvened on New Year's Day and shooting is expected to begin in April.

Star Trek: Discovery's showrunners, Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harbets, have hinted at some of Season Two's themes.

“Chapter 1 of this novel was war, and right now, we're thinking about Chapter 2,” Harberts says. “One of the themes we continue kicking around is the conflict between science and spirituality, and that's something that we're very interested, particularly after you finish a war. How do you rebuild yourself? What's required for that? What we're most excited to do is to continue thematic exploration and philosophical exploration and debate, and these characters are perfectly primed to carry storylines like that. That's one thing that we're thinking about. We have a few things up our sleeve, but we'd be lying if we knew everything, because that's the fun of it is as well. You go into it, you see what's working and you see what's interesting, and you build from there.”
