Most Anticipated New Shows of the 2017 Fall TV Season1 of 8
"Star Trek: Discovery"
Series Premiere: Sunday, Sept. 24, at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on CBS
The Plot: "Star Trek: Discovery" takes place ten years before Kirk, Spock, and the USS Enterprise embarked on their five-year mission. Like the Enterprise, the USS Discovery explores new worlds, new life, and new civilizations. At the center of the story is not a captain, but the first officer, Commander Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), the first human to attend the Vulcan Science Academy.
The Buzz: This is the first of the "Star Trek" series to focus on not just one, but two Starfleet ships: the USS Discovery and the USS Shenzhou. Series co-writer Nicholas Meyer said that he and ex-showrunner Bryan Fuller consider Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country to be a narrative jumping off point for the series.
