“Star Trek: Discovery” is over. But will there really be no new adventures with Michael Burnham on board the spaceship? That’s the situation with a film!
After 65 episodes, “Star Trek: Discovery” is over. The sci-fi series started on Paramount+ in 2017. Back then, the streaming service was still called CBS All Access. After seven years, the series is coming to an end and that’s a bit surprising, because it was only announced last year that the series would end with season 5.
At that point, season 5 had already been completely filmed. Very little was added to round out the finale. Only the last episode was still being worked on. Due to the surprise cancellation, there are always rumors about a possible film that could continue the story.
“Star Trek: Discovery” lead actress: “We often talk about film possibilities.”
Star Sonequa Martin-Green, who has played Michael Burnham in the series since the first episode, confirmed some time ago that there has been a lot of talk about the possibility of making a film that would continue the story of the USS Discovery.
It would be a lot of fun to make a movie. I haven’t heard anything about it, but it could be a lot of fun.
Sonequa Martin-Green
It’s definitely a good sign that the “Discovery” crew is already talking about the possible film sequel. But Martin-Green also says that nothing official has been confirmed and she hasn’t heard anything from the studio yet.
A long time ago, Jonathan Frakes, who is known as Riker from “Star Trek: Picard” but also as the director of numerous “Star Trek” episodes of various series, stated that series and films at Paramount are controlled by different management levels, so that it is probably difficult or even impossible to transfer the series heroes to the screen.
The only option for the crew of the USS Discovery would therefore be a film that starts streaming directly on Paramount+, such as “Star Trek: Section 31” with Michelle Yeoh. In fact, when the “exclusive film event” was announced, it was stated that Paramount+ plans to release a film event every two years.
If this plan goes through, a film about the USS Discovery would certainly not be a surprising decision, especially since the set of the spaceship already exists and such a film could therefore be produced relatively inexpensively and quickly.
