Last month I was lucky enough to visit the set of Star Trek: Discovery in Toronto. As a lifelong Star Trek fan, it was quite a thrill to stand on the bridge of a starship, walk its corridors, and climb onto a transporter pad (and, of course, do the Vulcan "live long and prosper" sign too). And with the show set to debut on September 24, CBS is hoping that viewers will also be thrilled by the latest adventure set in Gene Roddenberry's iconic universe.
The show stars Sonequa Martin-Green as Commander Michael Burnham, First Officer of the USS Discovery. Also starring Jason Isaacs, Michelle Yeoh, Doug Jones, Anthony Rapp, Shazad Latif, and Mary Chieffo, Discovery takes place 10 years before The Original Series and depicts a time of war between the Federation and the Klingons.
During my visit to the set, executive producer and co-showrunner Aaron Harberts talked me and other members of the press through what we were seeing during the tour, what to expect from the show, and how Discovery connects to Trek history. So click through the slideshow below for 13 of the biggest things I learned on the set of Star Trek: Discovery...
For more on Star Trek: Discovery, be sure to check out our interview with executive producer and co-showrunner Aaron Harberts where he discusses religion, war and continuity in the Trek universe. And make sure you stay tuned to IGN for more from the set as we lead up to the series premiere on September 24.
