Pancholy will play “Dr. Nambue, the chief medical officer of the Starship Shenzhou,” and Vartholomeos joins him as “Ensign Connor, a junior officer in Starfleet Academy who is assigned to Starship Shenzhou.” That’s the ship headed by Captain Georgiou, the character played by Yeoh. Serpico has been cast as “Admiral Anderson, a high-ranking official of Starfleet.”
Star Trek: Discovery is set to debut on CBS before moving to All Access. The first season will consist of 13 episodes.
