Production on the second season of Star Trek: Discovery began 15 days ago, with executive producer Alex Kurtzman helming the first episode. And now it looks like they are getting ready to start the second, which will be directed by Star Trek: The Next Generation star and director Jonathan Frakes.

This morning Frakes posted one of his signature ‘where am I now?’ tweets from the base of the CN Tower in Toronto, the city that houses Pinewood Studios where Discovery is produced.

And production designer Tarmara Deverell shared a picture of the director being presented with a special Star Trek pie to commemorate the production meeting for episode 2 with the message “here we go!”

Toronto baker Arlene Lott also shared an image on Instagram giving some more details on the selection of Trek-themed delights she made for the episode 2 production meeting.

This is the second time Frakes has been behind the camera for Discovery and he is set to return later to direct episode 10. Last month the director revealed some spoilers for episode 2 at a convention.

It looks like there has been some changes in the production schedule as Discovery actors Emily Coutts (Detmer) and Oyin Oladejo (Owosekun) have had to cancel appearances at a convention in the UK this upcoming weekend.

Sending my apologies to people attending @emconcouk this weekend. Due to scheduling issues @OyinOladejo and I can no longer attend. We are sending so much love and really hope to meet you all soon! 🖖 — Emily Coutts (@couttsemily) May 1, 2018

Disco Infinity

Avengers: Infinity War is breaking box office records and has the nerd world buzzing, and apparently that includes those working on Star Trek: Discovery. Over the weekend Discovery executive story editor and writer Be Yeon Kim tweeted about how Star Trek and the MCU were colliding in her mind as she wrote an outline.

Discovery’s creature designer Neville Page chimed in as well.
