Spoilers Section 31 General Discussion Thread

[NewHeavensNewEarth]

the name is just numbers and out there if you look!

Might it involve a 3 and a 1?

Might it involve a 3 and a 1?

Unsurprisingly, yes.

 

[The Wormhole]

New 'Star Trek' series 'Section 31' to start filming when 'Discovery' season 3 wraps.

I thought Disco season 3 already wrapped?

They’re currently filming the final episode. 26 day shoot.

 

[Visitor1982]

Unsurprisingly, yes.

Just tell us.

 

[Visitor1982]

I know for a fact that the production title for Section31 is Windcleaver, just like Green Harvest is for Discovery.

It is, but there is a 2nd production title.

Just tell us.

Okay fine, but the moderators can delete this if they want.

The 2nd production title is: Ten Thirty One / 10 31

Are these production codenames so that people don't automatically know it's Star Trek, like how they used Blue Harvest for ROTJ to hide the fact it's Star Wars? Or the first season of Doctor Who's revival was Torchwood?

Indeed!

 

[The Old Mixer]

Okay fine, but the moderators can delete this if they want.

If you're breaking your NDA, I don't think that's gonna get us in trouble...

 

[NCC-73515]

The 2nd production title is: Ten Thirty One / 10 31

That is simply Disco's registry

 

[CaptainXaviOfEarth]

That is simply Disco's registry

Yes. But it’s also the 2nd production title for Section 31. Probably a second unit. They appear to be based at Pinewood Toronto.

Section 31 has already been renewed for season 2.

 

[Tuskin38]

There's no source on that page, or an official announcement by CBS, so I'm taking it with a grain of salt.

 

[Enterprise1701]

Is this the correct megathread?

This project is still in development.

Yet despite Yeoh’s status as a hot commodity, Tanya Giles, chief programming officer of Paramount Streaming, told TVLine at a Television Critics Association press tour event that there have been “conversations” about the Section 31 series, affirming, “It’s still in development.”[/quote

Is this the correct megathread?/

This I think has been the main discussion thread since 2020.

I would be surprised if any actual work has been done on this show in the past few years. Apart from some PR every few months or so insisting that "it's still in development" it just seems they refuse to admit it will never happen. They probably made a mistake in announcing it when they did before the audience clearly preferred Pike/Spock/The Enterprise over Georgiou/S31 that Discovery season and leading to Strange New Worlds getting made instead.

Also it's not like Yeoh is short of work or anything.

 

[Tuskin38]

if it wasn’t happening they’d say something.

 

[shapeshifter]

I believe the delay really isn't. It is a planned pause while other story elements become aligned, possibly all across the timeline.

We've seen some foreshadowing but not everything they want to do before a big S31 revelation in its own time.

Alex Kurtzman is not JMS. He's nowhere NEAR that detailed.

Babylon 5 was SO intricately plotted, if an actor wanted to change a line, the producers had to see how it would affect the script two seasons ahead!
