Michelle Yeoh's Section 31 spinoff just got underway after Discovery Season 3 wrapped in late February. There are more Trek shows in the works, like Lower Decks and a possible Captain Pike spinoff with Anson Mount. But by leaving behind the thorny bramble-bush of canon that bogged the show down in previous seasons, we'd expect Discovery can spend well more than one season exploring the distant future.Īnother important detail: Disco doesn't need to carry the franchise alone anymore, so there's no need to rush. So even if the worst-case scenario is true, and Season 3 is indeed a "dumpster fire," as Midnight's Edge claims, the showrunners will probably just rejigger the concept again. Or, as is presumably the case with Season 3, it's free to leave all that baggage behind and head nearly a thousand years into the future to tell an entirely different kind of Star Trek story. With the USS Discovery officially "off the books" according to Spock at the end of Discovery Season 2, the black-ops Federation ship is free to pick and choose which bits of canon it wants to play with. While some fans have bristled at this impulse to completely revise the show's premise, it's also key to the show's longevity. Of course, part of this is because of widely reported showrunner turnover behind the scenes. Season 2 was all about dipping a toe into the Original Series era with Pike, Number One, and Spock. The first season of Discovery focused on Burnham's past with Captain Georgiou and explored the Mirror Universe. Discovery's concept can be infinitely rebooted
