According to reports, Chinese actress/martial artist Michelle Yeoh ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon") has been cast as an officer on board the 'Starship Discovery', in the new Toronto-lensed "Star Trek: Discovery" TV series, debuting May 2017 on the new CBS 'All Access' premium streaming service:


Consulting producer on the upcoming series is director Nicholas Meyer ("Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan").


Yeoh will play a character "...who is on a journey that is going to teach her how to get along with others in the galaxy. For her to truly understand something that is alien, she has to first understand herself.


"'Star Trek': Discovery' will explore dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966..."


The new series is noted as the first show produced specifically for the All Access, and the first "Star Trek" series since "Star Trek: Enterprise" concluded in 2005.
