Section 31: I hope it still happens.

People find older actors to be an issue? :wtf:

Trek as a franchise has historically gravitated towards Young Hotties (cf., Berman-era Seven of Nine, T'Pol).

Jeri Ryan has fought tooth-and-nail for Seven of Nine (Rick Berman wanted her to cut her hair. She wouldn't do it.)

She's been spilling the beans on Twitter:

Imagine T'Pol with an eyepiece and latex exoskeleton on her hand and you'll have B&B's original concept for Seven of Nine.

I'll take your word for it. I was speaking more broadly, because generally I enjoy older actors over "young hotties." But, I'm not in Hollywood either.

Yeah Patrick Stewart was a real young hottie back in 1987.. oh wait.

I'm very surprised we didn't get an announcement for Section 31 or any other new show yesterday.

We have been promised an announcement "soon" for years now. With Picard now out of production a new show should be in production at this very moment if they want to keep up with 50 Star Trek episodes each year.

My guess is that the idea was to spotlight the shows immediately on the horizon - the focus was on Prodigy, returning in October, Picard, back in February, and some SNW, which has already finished filming season two. Nothing really mentioned about Discovery, which is the current flagship series, and is nearing the end of their principle filming for season five right now, without even enough ready to go as a trailer (and, presumably, no airdate until probably fall 2023), anything after that is in no condition to announce - all there could have been at this point is a title of the series with probably some snippets of recycled dialogue looped in. That, ultimately, there was nothing TO advertise at this point that we don’t already know, of Georgiou leading and Section 31 being the focus. It’s not really much to announce, especially if it’s not likely to air for close to a year and a half, which, based on the schedule we know, is about the minimum amount of time just to work through the episodes they’ve got.

My guessat the moment is that we might start hearing about it in the first half of next year, and giving an official cast introduction at any of 2023’s summer events, probably with an expected launch date somewhere in 2024.

Because as I’ve said before, with how in demand Michelle Yeoh is these days, Paramount would surely want to have a series led by her, and she has seemed eager to return to Trek. So I’m no less that 75% sure it WILL happen, it’s just when.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing it, as long as it premires after at least one of the current shows is over. Preferably all of them. I'm enjoying all the current shows, but it's too much at once. I can't keep up.

Well, they sure didn't want the new blonde in the skin-tight outfit to cut her hair to make her hotter.
 

Yeoh is not 'booked' until 2026, 2026 is when those projects are due to be released. Most are already in post-production and the Avatar Sequels are filming simultaneously. It all depends on the size of her roles. If Yeoh is a supporting character in Avatar for example, she might only need to dedicate a month or two to filming her parts in the film. Besides she managed to remain a part of the Discovery cast while also filming around 5 movies, one of which was Shang Chi.
