First officer of the USSDiscoverywho becomes captain for the third season.[11][12]Saru is the first Kelpien to enter Starfleet. A new species created forDiscovery,Kelpiens were hunted as prey on their home planet and thus evolved the ability to sense the coming of danger.[13]Prosthetics are used to portray Saru, and initially took more than three hours to apply to Jones each day of filming.[14]Jones based Saru's walk on that of a supermodel,[4]out of necessity due to the boots he wore to portray the character's hooved feet.[15]The producers compared Saru to the characters Spock andDatafrom previousStar Trekseries.[13] - Shazad Latifas Voq / Ash Tyler (seasons 1–2):
Voq, an albino Klingon, undergoes extensive surgery to pose as the human Ash Tyler. He becomes chief of security forDiscovery,[16][17]and starts a relationship with Burnham.[18]Voq's accent is Arabic-inspired, and Latif tried to maintain a "pharyngealness"to Tyler's American accent. To conceal from the audience that Voq and Tyler were played by the same actor, Latif was credited under the pseudonym" Javid Iqbal "for some of his appearances as Voq in the first season.[16]For the second season, Latif felt he was playing a third character that melded Voq and Tyler in a similar way toBruce Banner and the HulkinMarvel Comics.[19] - Anthony RappasPaul Stamets:

Rapp acknowledged thatHikaru Suluis portrayed as gay in the filmStar Trek Beyond(2016), calling that a "nice nod", but said the series would actually explore Stamets and his partner "in conversation, in our living quarters; you get to see our relationship over time, treated as any other relationship would be treated".[23] - Mary Wisemanas Sylvia Tilly:
An ensign aboardDiscovery[24][25]who works under Stamets and is initially Burnham's roommate.[25]The character was intended to represent people at the bottom of the Starfleet hierarchy, and season one co-showrunner Aaron Harberts said she was the "soul" of the series.[26]She is temporarily promoted to first officer by Saru in the third season,[27]and chooses to leave the ship in the fourth to become a teacher at Starfleet Academy.[28] - Jason Isaacsas Gabriel Lorca (season 1):
Captain of theDiscoveryin the first season[29]who was described as a "brilliant military tactician".[30]Isaacs said the character was "probably more fucked up than any of" the previously seenStar Trekcaptains.[4]He plays the character with a slightsouthern U.S. accent,and initially ad-libbed the catchphrase "git'r done" before the writers pointed out that it was already widely used and trademarked byLarry the Cable Guy.[31] - Wilson CruzasHugh Culber:
Medical officer aboardDiscoveryand Stamets' husband.[32]Cruz said portraying the first openly gay couple inStar Trekwas "a long time coming" and praised the subtle way that the series explored their relationship.[33]The character is killed in the first season, but returns from the dead in the second[34]and subsequently goes throughpost-traumatic growth.He becomes an advocate for the mental health of the crew in the third season.[35] - Anson MountasChristopher Pike(season 2):
Captain of theEnterprisewho takes temporary command of theDiscoveryin the second season.[36]Mount described Pike as "very by-the-book" and a good person, while executive producers Heather Kadin andAlex Kurtzmansaid he was the opposite of Lorca with "enough confidence and authority to apologize when he is wrong".[37]Mount did not try to imitate original Pike actorJeffrey Hunter's performance fromThe Original Series.[36] - David Ajalaas Cleveland "Book" Booker (seasons 3–5):
The first person that Burnham meets in the 32nd century,[38]Book helps introduce the third season's new future setting.[7]He is a "courier", an independent trader, and becomes a love interest for Burnham that the writers hoped would bring out new sides to her character in contrast to her tumultuous relationship with Ash Tyler in the previous seasons.[39]The producers took inspiration fromStar WarscharacterHan Solofor Book, especially for his costumes.[40]The character has a pet cat named Grudge who is portrayed by twoMaine Coons,Leeu and Durban. They are 40 inches (1.0 m) long and weigh 18 pounds (8.2 kg).[41][42] - Rachael Ancheril as Nhan (seasons 2–5):

A human bonded with aTrill symbiont.Adira is the first openlynon-binarycharacter to feature in aStar Trekseries,[45][46]and the writers worked with del Barrio and LGBTQmedia monitoringorganizationGLAADwhen developing the character due to there being no non-binary writers on the series.[47]Adira and their transgender boyfriend Gray (portrayed byIan Alexander) form a "family unit" with Stamets and Culber in later seasons.[2] - Tig NotaroasJett Reno(seasons 2–5):
An engineer who joinsDiscoveryin the second season.[48][49]Notaro was a long-time friend of Kurtzman's when he asked her to join the series as comedic relief.[50]The character was originally called Denise Reno,[51]but she was able to change the name and chose "Jett" for singerJoan Jett.[50]To accommodate Notaro's busy schedule ofstand-up comedyand other projects,[48]she filmed her scenes from different episodes at the same time.[52] - Callum Keith Rennieas Rayner (season 5):

Production
[edit]Development
[edit]Announcement
[edit]On November 2, 2015,CBSannounced that a newStar Trektelevision series would premiere in January 2017, "on the heels" of the 50th anniversary ofStar Trek: The Original Seriesin 2016. This was the firstStar Trekseries sinceStar Trek: Enterpriseconcluded in 2005, and the first series to be developed specifically for theCBS All Accessstreaming service.Alex Kurtzman,co-writer of the filmsStar Trek(2009) andStar Trek Into Darkness(2013), andHeather Kadinwere set as executive producers.[55][56]The January 2017 date was the earliest that CBS could release a newStar Trekseries after an agreement the company made when it split fromViacomin 2005.[57]Showtime,Netflix,andAmazon Videoall offered "a lot of money" for the rights to stream the series,[58]but after heavily investing in the new All Access service CBS believed that a returningStar Trekcould be "the franchise that really puts All Access on the map".[57][58]In January 2016, CBS president Glenn Geller said the network would broadcast the first episode but was not creatively involved in the series, saying, "It really is for All Access."[59]
Bryan Fuller
[edit]After beginning his career writing for the seriesStar Trek: Deep Space NineandStar Trek: Voyager,Bryan Fullerwas announced as the new series'showrunnerand co-creator alongside Kurtzman in February 2016.[60][61]Nicholas Meyer,writer and director ofStar Trek II: The Wrath of Khan(1982) andStar Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country(1991), also joined the series as a consulting producer.[62]In March,Rod Roddenberry(the son ofStar TrekcreatorGene Roddenberry) and Trevor Roth ofRoddenberry Entertainmentalso joined the series as executive producers.[63]Fuller said working with people previously involved withStar Trekwas "really about making sure that we maintain authenticity", and said Meyer—who is widely considered to have made the bestStar Trekfilm inThe Wrath of Khan—brought "a clarity and a cleanliness to the storytelling".[64]
Fuller had publicly called forStar Trekto return to television for years, particularly because of its impact on minority groups, as he explained, "I couldn't stop thinking about how many black people were inspired by seeingNichelle Nicholson the bridge of a ship. I couldn't stop thinking about how many Asian people were inspired by seeingGeorge Takeiand feeling that gave them hope for their place in the future. I wanted to be part of that representation for a new era. "[65]When Fuller first met with CBS about the series, the company did not have a plan for what it would be.[66]He proposed ananthology series,with each season being a standalone, serialized story set in a different era. This would begin with a prequel toThe Original Series,followed by stories set duringThe Original Series,duringStar Trek: The Next Generation,and then "beyond to a time inTrekthat's never been seen before ". Fuller compared this to whatAmerican Horror Storydid for horror, and described the proposal as a platform for "a universe ofTrekshows ". CBS instead suggested he create a single serialized series to see how that performed.[65]
Fuller began further developing the concept of a prequel toThe Original Series.[65]He announced in June 2016 that the first season would consist of 13 episodes,[66]though he would prefer to produce 10 episodes a season moving forward.[67]A month later, Fuller announced the series' title,Star Trek: Discovery,[68]and revealed that it would be set in the "Prime Timeline" which includes the previousStar Trekseries but not the modernreboot filmssuch asStar Trek,Into Darkness,andStar Trek Beyond(2016). This was to keep the concurrent series and films separate, so "we don't have to track anything [happening in the films] and they don't have to track what we're doing".[69][67]Also in July,CBS Studios Internationallicensed the series to Netflix for release outside the United States and Canada,[61]a "blockbuster" deal that paid for the series' entire budget (around US$6–7 million per episode at that time).[70][71]During pre-production on the series, Fuller and CBS had disagreements on its direction. The production began to overrun its per-episode budget and was falling behind schedule due to Fuller supervising all aspects of the series while also showrunning another new series,American Gods.This caused frustration among CBS executives who felt Fuller should be focused on havingDiscoveryready for release in January 2017.[65]
By August 2016, Fuller had hiredGretchen J. BergandAaron Harberts,whom he worked with onPushing Daisies,to serve as co-showrunners with him.[67][71]A month later, he and Kurtzman asked CBS to delay the series' release so they could meet the high expectations for it, and the studio pushed the premiere back to May 2017.[72]At the end of October, CBS asked Fuller to step down as showrunner,[65]and announced a restructuring of the production: Berg and Harberts were made sole showrunners, working from a broad story arc and overall mythology established by Fuller; Kurtzman and Fuller would continue as executive producers, but with Fuller moving his attention fully toAmerican Gods;andAkiva Goldsmanwould join as a supporting producer similar to the role he held onFringealongside Kurtzman. CBS said they were still happy with Fuller's creative direction for the series,[71]but some elements that came from him, including designs and "more heavily allegorical and complex story" points, were soon dropped.[65]Fuller later confirmed that he was no longer involved with the series.[73]
Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts
[edit]With production set to begin in January 2017, "careful deliberation" was going into the series' production value and effects.[74]Ted Sullivanjoined as supervising writing producer,[75][76]and CBS Interactive president Marc DeBevoise revealed that the episode order had been expanded to 15 episodes.[77][78]In June, CBS announced a new premiere date of September 24, 2017,[79]and Kurtzman said he had discussed future seasons with Fuller before the latter's departure. Kurtzman promised that the series' "set-up, character, big ideas, [and] the big movement of the season" were all true to Fuller's original plans.[80]In August, Goldsman said future seasons would have a "hybridized [anthology] approach" with each season having its own story arc and a mixture of new and familiar characters.[10]Kurtzman added that the success ofDiscoverycould lead to other newStar Trekseries.[81]
By the end of August 2017, Berg and Harberts had developed a road map for a second season and the beginnings of one for a third. It was also revealed that an average episode of the first season had cost US$8–8.5 million, making it one of the most expensive television series ever made. This exceeded the original Netflix deal, but CBS still considered the series paid for due to the number of new CBS All Access subscribers that it was expected to draw.[82]After the series premiere, Kurtzman said the producers wanted to avoid announcing release dates for future seasons due to the external pressure caused by delaying the first season's premiere after it was announced. Despite this, he hoped a second season would be available in early 2019.[83]The second season was officially ordered in October 2017,[84]and consists of 13 episodes.[85]Goldsman did not return for the season after clashing with the series' writing staff,[86]while Meyer was not asked to return for the second season.[87]In June 2018, when production on the second season was underway, CBS fired Berg and Harberts. This was due to the first episode of the season going significantly over budget, as well as alleged abusive behavior by the pair directed at the other writers. Kurtzman was made showrunner and was set to "regroup" the writers room.[86]
Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise
[edit]After Kurtzman took over, the second season was on track for a January 2019 premiere.[88]There was enough of a delay in production that CBS extended the season's episode count to 14 as a way to amortize the cost of the delays.[89]In February 2019, shortly after the season premiere, the series was renewed for a third season with writerMichelle Paradisepromoted to co-showrunner alongside Kurtzman.[90]In October 2019, Kurtzman said the third season would consist of 13 episodes.[91]Active development on a fourth season had begun by January 2020,[92]and it was officially announced in October.[93]Also in October, Kurtzman was asked how long he intended forDiscoveryto continue, especially with other streaming series being cancelled during theCOVID-19 pandemic,and said there were "years and years left onDiscovery".He noted the precedent of several previousStar Trekseries running for seven seasons each.[94]A 10-episode fifth season was ordered in January 2022.[95][96]Paramount announced in March 2023 that the season would be the last for the series,[97]which came as a surprise to the cast and crew who expected to make at least one or two more seasons.[98]The decision came amid cost cutting for Paramount's streaming content.[99]The season's ending was updated so it could better serve as a series finale.[100][101]
Writing
[edit]"The defining factor of Roddenberry's vision is the optimistic view of the future... Once you lose that, you lose the essence of whatStar Trekis. [The question] is how do you preserve and protect what Starfleet is in the weight of a challenge like war and the things that have to be done in war? "
—Executive producer Alex Kurtzman on the balance between the ideals of theStar Trekfranchise and the darker tone ofDiscovery[102]
The series' writers room is based at Kurtzman'sSecret Hideoutoffices inSanta Monica.[103]The titular ship was named afterDiscovery Onefrom2001: A Space Odyssey,NASA'sSpace ShuttleDiscovery,and "the sense of discovery... what [that] means toStar Trekaudiences who have been promised a future by Gene Roddenberry where we come together as a planet and seek new worlds and new alien races to explore and understand ".[104]
Fuller wanted to differentiateDiscoveryfrom previousStar Trekseries by taking advantage of the streaming format of All Access and telling a single serialized story across the entire first season,[66]inspired by the general change in television to tell those kinds of stories rather than the "new destination-based adventure each week" format mostly used in previousStar Trekseries. Fuller had been one of several writers during the 1990s pushing forDeep Space NineandVoyagerto move towards this style.[105]The producers wanted to build towards Roddenberry'sStar Trekideals and show that "you can't simply be accepting and tolerant without working for it",[106]and chose to ignore Roddenberry's longstanding rule that Starfleet crew members not have significant conflict with one another.[105]
Fuller saw the series as a bridge betweenStar Trek: EnterpriseandThe Original Series—which are set over a century apart—but set much closer to the latter to allowDiscoveryto use the latter's iconic designs and costumes;[107]the series ultimately moved away from those designs after Fuller's departure.[65]The first season tells the story of the Federation-Klingon cold war that had been mentioned inStar Trekbefore but not depicted on screen.[108]The season finishes with the end of the war, which allowed the writers to move beyond Fuller's established storyline.[109]The second season has a more episodic structure than the first, though it still tells a single serialized story,[110]and it introduces more elements fromThe Original Seriesincluding theUSSEnterpriseand its crew.[37]A goal of the showrunners for the season was to "cementDiscoveryfirmly in the timeline "by reconciling some of the apparent continuity errors from the first season, such as whyDiscovery'scharacters and more advanced technology are not mentioned inThe Original Seriesor other previousStar Trekmedia.[6]They achieved this by havingDiscoveryand its crew travel over 900 years into the future at the end of the season which Kurtzman compared to the new timeline created for the filmStar Trekto avoid established continuity.[111]
Kurtzman felt the jump to the future had opened up new variables and storytelling opportunities that were preventing the series from feeling stale[94]and confirmed that the series would remain in the 32nd century for the rest of its run.[112]Discussing what makesDiscoveryunique amongStar Trekseries, Paradise said it was the mixture of serialized storytelling and a focus on action, adventure, and visual effects. She noted thatDiscoverycould feel separate from the rest of the franchise following the time jump to the future but explained that the writers were always looking for ways to connect the series back to pastStar Trekmedia to prevent this.[113]Beginning with the third season, astrophysicistErin Macdonaldjoined the series and widerStar Trekfranchise as a science advisor.[114]Macdonald said each series was on a "spectrum of science to fiction" andDiscoverywas "way more on the science side", so to ensure scientific accuracy Macdonald became involved in all aspects of the series from developing plots with the writers room to reviewing that graphics and visual effects were correct in post-production.[115]
Casting
[edit]By June 2016, Fuller had met with several actors and said the series would "carry on whatStar Trekdoes best "by hiring a progressive, diverse cast,[66]with Kadin confirming that the series would feature minority, female, and LGBTQ characters.[116]In August, Fuller said the series would star a lieutenant commander, to be played by a non-white actress, rather than a captain like previousStar Trekseries. He also saidDiscoverywould include more alien characters than otherStar Trekseries, and would feature at least one openly gay character. Fuller, who is gay himself, had been determined to see this happen since receiving hate mail while working onVoyagerwhen a character on that show was rumored to be coming out as gay.[1]Fuller discussed the series' casting withMae Jemison,the first black woman in space who made a cameo appearance in an episode ofThe Next Generation.[1][117]He anticipated casting announcements in October,[67]but none had been made by the end of that month. The majority of the series main characters were believed to have been cast by then, but no actress had been cast for the series' lead role. This was a source of "internal stress" at CBS.[71]Several African American and Latina actresses were being looked at for the role, with CBS preferring a "fresh face" over an established star.[118]The cast was believed to include a female admiral, a maleKlingoncaptain, a male admiral, a male adviser, and a British male doctor, with one of those male leads played by an openly gay actor.[119]
Doug JonesandAnthony Rappwere revealed to have been cast in November 2016, respectively as science officers Saru and Stamets.[11]Saru is a Kelpien, an alien race created for the series,[13]while Stamets is the firstStar Trekcharacter to be conceived and announced as gay.[11]Sonequa Martin-Greenwas cast in the lead role in December,[120]whenShazad Latifwas cast as the Klingon Kol.[121]In March 2017,Jason Isaacswas cast as Captain Lorca of the USSDiscovery,[29]andMary Wisemanjoined as Tilly, a cadet.[24]In April, Martin-Green's casting was officially confirmed and her character's name was revealed to be Michael Burnham.[122]At the end of that month, Latif was recast to the role of Starfleet Lieutenant Tyler.[123]The series reveals that Tyler is the undercover persona of the Klingon Voq, who is initially credited as being portrayed by the invented actor Javid Iqbal to hide the fact that Latif portrays both Voq and Tyler.[16]
Rapp revealed in July 2017 thatWilson Cruz,whom Rapp had previously worked with on the musicalRent,would portray Stamets' love interestHugh Culber.[32]The character is killed off during the first season, which was criticized by some as following the "bury your gays"trope, but the executive producers immediately released a statement with Cruz and LGBTQmedia monitoringorganizationGLAADsaying the relationship between Culber and Stamets would continue to be explored.[124]Cruz was subsequently promoted from his recurring guest role to the series' main cast for the second season, in which Culber is brought back to life.[34]After the first season concluded with theDiscoveryreceiving a distress call from the USSEnterprise,specifically from CaptainChristopher Pike,Harberts expressed interest in exploring that character;[5]Anson Mountwas cast in the role in April 2018,[125]and stars for the second season.[36][126]
Casting had begun by June 2019 for the new role of Adira, a non-binary character described as "incredibly intelligent and self-confident" with the potential to become a recurring guest throughout the third season.[127]The next month,David Ajalajoined the cast as new series regular Cleveland "Book" Booker for the third season.[38]Rachael Ancheril is also credited as starring for her appearances in the season, reprising her recurring guest role as Nhan from the second season.[128]She is written out of the series in the third season's fifth episode.[44]In September 2020, non-binary newcomerBlu del Barriowas revealed to be portraying Adira, the first explicitly non-binary character within theStar Trekfranchise.[45]They were promoted to the series' main cast in the fourth season along with recurring guest starTig Notaroas Jett Reno.[46][49]Callum Keith Renniejoined the fifth season as Rayner, a war-time Starfleet captain.[53]
Design
[edit]Fuller wanted to take advantage of modern effects, production design, and makeup to establish a new look for the series and franchise that previousStar Trekmedia was unable to achieve.[1]Mark Worthington and Todd Cherniawsky served as initial production designers for the series,[129]andSuttirat Anne Larlarbwas hired as costume designer.[130]Glenn Hetrickand Neville Page of Alchemy Studios provided prosthetics and armor,[131][132]with Page having previously designed for the rebootedStar Trekfilms.[133]Mario Moreira served as prop master for the series,[134]with seven art directors, over nine illustrators, more than thirty-five set designers, and over four hundred and fifty painters, carpenters, sculptors, model makers, welders, set dressers, and prop builders all hired for the first season.[135]The designers consulted with theJet Propulsion Laboratoryfor scientific accuracy.[134]Tamara Deverell took over as production designer during production on the first season,[136]but left after the second.[137]She was replaced byPhillip Barker,who was able to approach the third season as a fresh start due to the new time period. Barker helped develop the new 32nd century technology as part of his design process.[138]Doug McCullough took over as production designer for the fourth season.[139]
Fuller had wanted the series' uniforms to reflect the primary colors ofThe Original Series,but this was discarded after his departure,[65]when Larlarb also left the series. Gersha Phillips took over as costume designer.[130]Fabric for the series' Starfleet uniforms was custom-dyed inSwitzerland,and was a navy blue specifically mixed for the production. Gold or silver embellishments denoted divisions, while medical officers wear a "hospital white" variant of the uniform. The captain's uniform is the standard navy blue but with additional gold piping on the shoulders.[140]Phillips attempted to create costumes with no seams using "No Sew" bonding techniques such as glue and tape, but the producers rejected this because they wanted to see more details in the costumes.[40]Starfleet insignia badges were molded from silicon bronze, and then polished and plated by a jeweler to create custom colors for the series: gold for command, silver for sciences and medical, and copper for operations.[140]Phillips was able to revisit the colorful uniforms fromThe Original Serieswith the introduction of the USSEnterprisein the second season, applying the colors of those original costumes to the design ofDiscovery'suniforms.[130]She was also able to revisit her "No Sew" approach for the future Starfleet uniforms in the third season. These are mostly gray, with divisions represented by a colored stripe,[141]but once the crew ofDiscoverystarted wearing these costumes the producers realised that they clashed with theDiscovery's existing gray hallway sets. Phillips designed new uniforms for the fourth season that use the same primary colors asThe Next Generation,with red for command, gold for operations, and blue for science. Medical officers still wear white uniforms.[142]
VeteranStar TrekdesignerJohn Eavesdesigned starships for the series with Scott Schneider,[143][135]and based the USSDiscoveryon an unusedRalph McQuarriedesign for theEnterprisefrom the unproduced filmStar Trek: Planet of the Titans.[69]Fuller compared McQuarrie's design to 1970s Lamborghinis and cars from theJames Bondfranchise.[144]Sets for theDiscovery's interiors were described as a "tangle of corridors and rooms",[82]and were designed to look like they could believably fit inside the ship. The graphics used for the Starfleet computer systems were designed to be believably more advanced than modern technology, but to also honor the look and feel of the designs used in previous series.[135]These were updated for the third season to reflect the more advanced future technology, whenprogrammable matterwas integrated into theDiscoverydesign.[145][146]
The opening title sequence was created byPrologueusing 2D motion graphics. The sequence depicts elements from throughout the history ofStar Trek—such as phasers, communicators, and the Vulcan salute—and deconstructs them.[147]Prologue creative director Ana Criado said the producers wanted the sequence to be unlike any previousStar Trektitles sequences. A blueprint theme was decided to acknowledge that the series is a prequel, "literally deconstructingTrekiconography ". The sequence was originally in black-and-white, but Criado said this was too" cold "and was replaced with aRenaissance-inspired sepia look "to make it look like we are designing everything from scratch". The sequence was updated for each season.[148]The third season introduces a new logo for the series to reflect its move to the far future and move away from the Klingon-inspired initial logo.[149]
Filming
[edit]Star Trek: Discoveryis filmed atPinewood Toronto Studios,[150]taking advantage of multiplesoundstagesat the studio including the largest one in North America.[82]Filming for the series also takes place on location aroundOntario, Canada,including at theAga Khan Museumin Toronto to portray the Vulcan Science Academy,[151]theHilton FallsandKelsoConservation Areas,[152]theScarborough Bluffs,[153]theStelcosteel plant inHamilton,[138]and the disusedKingston Penitentiary.[154]The series spent more thanCA$257 million(US$202 million) in Ontario, and created more than 4,000 jobs for local crew, in just its first two seasons.[155]Location filming for the series also took place outside of North America, with some filming inJordanfor the series premiere,[156]and inIcelandfor the first two episodes of the third season.[157]
Kurtzman felt the visual style of the series had to "justify being on a premium cable service",[158]and the producers worked closely with first episode directorDavid Semelto make the series look as cinematic as possible.[102]They took inspiration from the wide scope ofStar Trek: The Motion Picture(1979), including using a2:1 aspect ratio,as well as from the modernStar Trekfilms directed byJ. J. Abrams.[159]The cinematographers wanted to emphasize on-set lighting sources to create a more realistic look and distance the series from the "stage" feel ofThe Original Series.[160]The lighting on set could be controlled, including changing their color for when the ship goes into alert mode.[135]Harberts said that the cinematographers wanted the series to have a "Rembrandttexture ".[160]For the second season, Kurtzman chose to useanamorphic lenseswith a2.39:1 aspect ratioto "immediately [convey] a sense of scope and scale". He hoped that if the series was projected in a theater it would appear indistinguishable from a feature film.[161]FrequentStar TrekdirectorJonathan Frakessaid the series' producing director,Olatunde Osunsanmi,encouraged all of the directors to "express ourselves visually in as exciting a way as possible",[162]with Frakes describing the series' directing style as "shoot to thrill".[157]
Paramount+ constructed avideo wallto allow for virtual production on the fourth season as well as the spin-off seriesStar Trek: Strange New Worlds,[112][163]utilizing technology similar to theStageCraftsystem that was developed for theDisney+seriesThe Mandalorian.[164]The new virtual set was built in Toronto by visual effects companyPixomondo,and features a 270-degree, 70 feet (21 m) by 30 feet (9.1 m) horseshoe-shapedLEDvolume with additional LED panels in the ceiling to aid with lighting. The technology uses thegame enginesoftwareUnreal Engineto display computer-generated backgrounds on the LED screens in real-time during filming.[163]Visual effects supervisor Jason Zimmerman noted that this was especially useful for creating the planets that are visited in the series since location shooting was limited on the fourth season by the COVID-19 pandemic.[163][112]
Visual effects
[edit]Visual effects producers were hired to begin work on the series during the initial writing period, with Fuller explaining that they wanted to develop distinct looks for classicStar Trekeffects such as digitally-augmented alien species and transporter beams.[66]Pixomondois the primary visual effects vendor for the series,[165]with other vendors including Spin VFX,[166]Ghost VFX, Mackevision,Crafty Apes,DNEG,The Mill,and FX3X, as well as visual effects supervisor Jason Zimmerman's in-house team at CBS Studios.[167]Visual effects shots for each episode onDiscoverytypically take eight-to-ten months to complete,[112]and include fully digital environments such as the shuttle bay ofDiscovery,[102][168]digital extensions of sets,[167]shots of theDiscoveryand other starships,[145]digital creatures,[169]holograms,[167]and 32nd century technology such as programmable matter.[145][146]
Music
[edit]Several composers auditioned for the series, including Charles Henri Avelange,[170]and Fil Eisler whose audition music was used for the series' first teaser.[116]Cliff EidelmanandAustin Wintorywere also considered for the role,[171][172]beforeJeff Russowas announced as composer for the series in July 2017.[4]Russo wanted the show's main theme to embody the ideals ofStar Trekand "a commonality in people" by only using chords that have a common note, with a melody then added over the top. The theme is bookended by elements ofthe originalStar TrekthemebyAlexander Courage.[173]Russo acknowledged that not all existingStar Trekfans were going to appreciate the new theme, but felt that regardless of how it compared to previous themes in the franchise it still accurately represented this series.[174]Russo recorded the series' score with a 60-piece orchestra,[158]initially at the Eastwood Scoring Stage atWarner Bros.Studios in California.[175]Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, musicians for the third season were recorded individually and their performances combined.[176]
Individual soundtrack albums for the two chapters ofthe first seasonwere respectively released on December 15, 2017, and April 6, 2018.[177][178]A soundtrack album forthe second seasonwas released on July 19, 2019,[179]forthe thirdon April 16, 2021,[180]and forthe fourthon August 26, 2022.[181]

The first episode ofStar Trek: Discoveryaired in a "preview broadcast" on CBS in the United States and was made available with the second episode on CBS All Access. The rest of the series' episodes for the first three seasons were released weekly on All Access.[79]CBS Studios Internationallicensed the series toBell Mediafor broadcast in Canada, and toNetflixfor another 188 countries.[61]In Canada, the premiere was simulcast with CBS on both theCTV Television Networkand on the specialty channelCTV Sci-Fi Channelbefore being streamed onCrave;it was also broadcast in French on the specialty channelZ.[61]Subsequent episodes were released through CTV Sci-Fi, Z, and Crave,[61]with CTV Sci-Fi airing each episode 30 minutes before it streamed on All Access.[191][192]In the other countries, Netflix released each episode of the first three seasons for streaming within 24 hours of its U.S. debut.[61]This agreement also saw Bell Media and Netflix acquire all previousStar Trekseries to stream and broadcast at the time.[61]
In September 2020,ViacomCBSannounced that CBS All Access would be expanded and rebranded as Paramount+ in March 2021.[193]Existing episodes ofDiscovery'sfirst three seasons remained on Paramount+ along with future seasons of the series.[194]On November 2, 2021, a home media box set collecting the first three seasons was released, with more than eight hours of special features including behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted and extended scenes, audio commentaries, and gag reels.[195]On November 17, two days before the fourth season's international debut, ViacomCBS announced that it had bought back the international streaming rights toDiscoveryfrom Netflix effective immediately. The deal was for an undisclosed amount of money that was reported to be in the six-figure range, and meant that Netflix would no longer contribute to the series' budget as it had been doing since the original international licensing deal in July 2016. Because of the new deal, the fourth season was set be streamed in countries outside of North America on Paramount+ once the service was available there some time in 2022.[196]Following backlash from international fans, ViacomCBS made the season available internationally through several avenues.[197][198]In August 2023,Star Trekcontent was removed from Crave andDiscoverybegan streaming on Paramount+ in Canada. The series would continue to be broadcast on CTV Sci-Fi and be available on CTV.ca and the CTV app.[199][200]
Reception
[edit]Viewership
[edit]According toNielsen Media Research,the CBS broadcast of the first episode was watched by a "decent" audience of 9.5 million viewers.[201][202]The premiere of the series led to record subscriptions for CBS All Access, with the service having its biggest day of signups, as well as its biggest week and month of signups thanks to the series.[203]According to "app analytics specialist" App Annie, the premiere of the series also caused the number of downloads of the All Access mobile app to more than double, with revenue from the app for CBS doubling compared to the average in-app revenue during the previous 30 days.[204]Increased subscribers for All Access was given as one of the reasons behind the series' second and third season renewals.[84][90]Audience demand analytics company Parrot Analytics estimates streaming viewership based on global "demand expressions", with the "desire, engagement, and viewership weighted by importance". In the company's list of the top 20 most in-demand streaming series of 2020,Discoverywas ranked 12th and was the highest ranked All Access series for the year.[205]

Lawsuit
[edit]In August 2018, video game developer Anas Abdin announced that he would sue CBS for allegedly copying elements of his unreleased video gameTardigrades,[265]including largetardigradesthat help humans travel through the universe instantly, and similar characters. The lawsuit was dismissed by JudgeLorna G. Schofieldin September 2019, finding that the series and video game were not "substantially similar as a matter of law", and that the only similarities were the space setting and the use of alien tardigrades.[266]Abdin appealed this dismissal, but theUS Court of Appeals for the Second Circuitupheld Schofield's decision in August 2020.[267]
Tie-in media
[edit]Publishing
[edit]In September 2016,Discoverywriter Kirsten Beyer announced that CBS was working withIDW PublishingandSimon & Schusterto produce more content revolving around the setting of the series, starting with at least one novel and a comic book. Beyer, the writer of manyStar Trek: Voyagernovels,explained that she would work with fellowStar TreknovelistDavid MackandStar Trekcomic writer Mike Johnson to ensure that all media "are coming from the same place". The release of the books and comics was set to coincide with the series' premiere.[268]Mack described writing around the continuity ofDiscoveryas "tricky to get right", as the time period is "light on detail and almost unique within theStar Trekcontinuity. That made it a challenge to represent that era faithfully while also staying true to the new elements being introduced "in the series.[269]Beyer explained in August 2017 that the novels and comics would tell stories that the series did not have time to address but that enhanced the overall story for fans, though they would not be required reading to understand the series. She said the writers of the tie-in works and the series' writers room would work together to not contradict each other, but if an idea was developed for the series that did not work with something established in a tie-in then the series would take priority.[270]

Franchise expansion and spin-offs
[edit]
In June 2018, after becoming sole showrunner ofDiscovery,Kurtzman signed a five-year overall deal with CBS Television Studios to expand theStar Trekfranchise beyondDiscoveryto several new series, miniseries, and animated series.[294]Kurtzman wanted to "open this world up" and create multiple series set in the same universe but with their own distinct identities, an approach that he compared to theMarvel Cinematic Universe(MCU). He added that he would "weigh in meaningfully and significantly at all the critical junctures" for each new series.[295]CBS and Kurtzman began referring to the expanded franchise as the "Star TrekUniverse "at the 2019San Diego Comic-Con,[296]and monthly meetings with the showrunners of each new series were being held by April 2021 to allow coordination between the different series and ensure that "they're not stepping on each other's toes", according to Kurtzman.[297]
In addition toPicard,Lower Decks,Prodigy,andStarfleet Academy,the expanded franchise includes several direct spin-offs fromStar Trek: Discovery:
Star Trek: Short Treks
