Michelle Yeoh Stars In The First Trekkie Movie In 9 Years
Dec 7, 2024
“Star Trek” may have been totally relegated to TV in recent years—even much more than “Star Wars,” the last movie on screen was in 2016, nine years ago—but it’s striving on TV and specifically on Paramount+ where brains trust Alex Kurtzman oversees most shows. However, in the spirit of the ever-evolving expansion, Paramount+ will debut its first movie in ages, “Star Trek: Section 31,” starring Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh.

Today, Paramount revealed the official “Star Trek: Section 31” trailer during its presentation at CCXP in São Paolo, Brazil. The movie will premiere on Friday, January 24, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and international markets where the service is available. The official key art for the highly anticipated movie was also revealed.
In the movie, Yeoh reprises her fan-favorite role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou—a character she played in “Star Trek Discovery” – who joins a secret division of Starfleet. Tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, she also must face the sins of her past.
STAR TREK: SECTION 31 also stars Omari Hardwick (Power), Emmy® winner Sam Richardson (Ted Lasso), Robert Kazinsky (Pacific Rim), Kacey Rohl (Hannibal), Sven Ruygrok (One Piece), James Hiroyuki Liao (Barry), Humberly Gonzalez (Ginny & Georgia) and Joe Pingue (The Expanse). Miku Martineau (Kate) portrays a young Philippa Georgiou.
