ICYMI: Official trailer for the Star Trek Discovery series, which takes place during the conflict between Starfleet and the Klingons. Via Bleeding Cool, which was at San Diego Comic Con:
There is a lot riding on the September 24th debut of Star Trek: Discovery. After multiple delays, creator Bryan Fuller leaving the show, and the fact that the show will be released only on CBS All Access, fans are worried about show quality and staying power. However, attending the Star Trek: Discovery SDCC panel and press conference, as well as seeing the new trailer, I am excited about the new show and have hope that it will deliver for both longtime and new fans.
Before the panel officially began, the audience was shown the new full-length trailer for the show. The trailer showed a lot of new footage, and it was obvious that this show would be much darker than previous iterations with scenes of destruction, injury, and possible death throughout.

The issue of diversity was front and center. Martin-Green addressed the controversy in her casting and the overall diversity of the show head on, asserting “Star Trek was always pictorial of diversity, universality, and unity. If you love Star Trek, but don’t love that, you missed it.” During the press conference, Martin-Green became emotional as she discussed how she “stands on the shoulders of Nichelle” and how it is an “honor, such a privilege, to be part of a story that I believe will bring people together.”
