“Star Trek: Section 31,” originally developed as a series, is finally coming to audiences as a feature-length film. The project, covering the extremely secretive Section 31 division of Starfleet — essentially its black ops espionage arm — debuts on Paramount+ on Friday, Jan. 24, 2025, CBS Studios announced Saturday at New York Comic Con.
The film stars Michelle Yeoh, reprising her role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou from “Star Trek: Discovery” Season 1. According to an official release, “Tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, she also must face the sins of her past.”
Alongside Yeoh, the film stars Omari Hardwick, Kacey Rohl and Robert Kazinsky, who spoke at the Star Trek universe panel where the announcement was made. While not appearing in-person, Yeoh joined the New York Comic Con crowd live on Zoom from Prague.
Other cast members include Sam Richardson (“Ted Lasso”), Humberly Gonzalez (“Ginny & Georgia”) and James Hiroyuki Liao (“Barry”), as well as Miku Martineau as a young Philippa Georgiou. The project is directed and executive produced by Olatunde Osunsanmi, who was also part of the panel.
