Star Trek: Section 31 movie with Michelle Yeoh to begin production in January

December 14, 2023 by Ricky Church

The Star Trek universe is about to expand once again as the franchise’s Star Trek: Section 31 TV movie will finally begin production in the new year with Everything Everywhere All At Once Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh reprising her Star Trek: Discovery role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou.

Star Trek: Section 31 was announced by Paramount a couple of years ago and was originally envisioned as another Star Trek series that would have spun off from Discovery. However, it was reworked as an exclusive Paramount+ film that would still follow Yeoh’s Mirror Universe version of Georgiou who has joined the special ops and often immoral Section 31 division of Starfleet. The current synopsis for the film reads:

In Paramount+ movie event, Emperor Philippa Georgiou joins a secret division of Starfleet tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets and faces the sins of her past.

Yeoh first starred as Georgiou in the two-part pilot of Star Trek: Discovery as the captain of the USS Shenzhou, but was killed in the opening battle of the Starfleet-Klingon War. When the Discovery travelled to the Mirror Universe, a parallel universe populated by violent and evil counterparts to the main Star Trek universe, they discovered its version of Georgiou was the Emperor of the tyrannical Terran Empire. She crossed over the main universe and was recruited into Section 31, a covert operations division that protected the Federation’s interest at any cost without having the morals of most Starfleet officers and were antagonists in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek Into Darkness.

“I’m beyond thrilled to return to my Star Trek family and to the role I’ve loved for so long,” said Michelle Yeoh when the film was announced earlier this year. “Section 31 has been near and dear to my heart since I began the journey of playing Philippa all the way back when this new golden age of Star Trek launched. To see her finally get her moment is a dream come true in a year that’s shown me the incredible power of never giving up on your dreams. We can’t wait to share what’s in store for you, and until then: live long and prosper (unless Emperor Georgiou decrees otherwise)!”

Star Trek: Section 31 will begin production in Toronto on January 29th, 2024 with filming lasting until March. It will presumably premiere on Paramount+ in late-2024 or early-2025.

The film will be directed by Star Trek: Discovery‘s Olatunde Osunsanmi from a script written by Craig Sweeny (Limitless). It will be executive produced by Yeoh, Sweeny, Alex Kurtzman, Aaron Baiers, Rod Rodenberry, Trevor Roth, Frank Siracusa and John Weber.
