Star Trek: Discovery is going to arrive eventually, and hopefully it'll be even somewhat worth the wait.

Pushed back from January to May to 'fall', and losing Bryan Fuller in the process, there are concerns about the show, but reasons to be excited too.

It's the first Trek series in over a decade, takes place around 10 years before the Kirk era, and explores the Federation-Klingon cold war. The cast is led by The Walking Dead's Sonequa Martin-Green, the first non-Captain lead, and also includes Jason Isaac (hello!), Doug Jones, and Michelle Yeoh.

Air Date: September 24
