Today at San Diego Comic-Con, Star Trek fans were the first to learn the latest news behind the highly anticipated third season of Star Trek: Discovery and the next installments of Star Trek: Short Treks during the Star Trek Universe Hall H panel with cast and executive producers.
The panel kicked off with Star Trek: Discovery’s Sonequa Martin-Green revealing that season three of Star Trek: Discovery just began principal photography in Iceland earlier this month. Actor David Ajala, who joins the season three cast as a brand new character, Cleveland Booker, a.k.a. Book, also made his Star Trek debut on the panel. Smart and capable, Book has a natural charisma and devil-may-care attitude that tends to get him into trouble as often as it gets him out.
