That task alone would be high pressure, given the large, persnickety fan base that is both blessing and curse for any Trek variant. But CBS upped the stakes, forgoing the obvious route of putting the new series on its flagship broadcast network or premium channel Showtime, instead steering it to All Access with the goal of growing the streaming services nascent subscriber base. That goal has been obscured by headline making production delays and the exit of a fan favorite showrunner. But the premiere is now in sight. Discovery, which is set to debut Sept. Star Trek to embrace wholly serialized storytelling and a vision of the future in which humans clash with each other, not just with what they find in outer space.

CBS hopes that fans will embrace that vision and, with credit cards in hand, help build a new business to carry the company forward. Heading into Comic Con, CBS short term objective was to flip the Discovery narrative, which had become about delays and departures. It got a galaxy class narrative flipper in the form of Martin Green, who emerged as the star of a packed San Diego panel featuring cast and producers. Taking up the mantle of Trek heroes past, Martin Green handily dismissed trolls who complained about an African American woman leading a Star Trek series. She cited the franchises long record of inclusion and social progressivism. If you say you love the legacy of Star Trek but you dont love that, then youve missed it, she told the crowd.

An Alabama born actor who trained and began her career onstage, Martin Green is no stranger to vocal fan bases Her first series regular work came on AMCs The Walking Dead. But she is new to the Trek universe. Since booking the role of Burnham, she has plowed into the original series and Enterprise the two shows that, in terms of timeline, bookend Discovery, which is set during a war between the egalitarian United Federation of Planets and the noble warrior Klingon Empire. She promises to get to the other shows soon. Martin Green has proved a quick study. Already she grabs hold of the central themes of Star Trek and hoists them up as important ideals a mix of moral philosophy and fan service. Anyone doing a new iteration of Star Trek, you have to understand how deep it is you have to understand how important it is, she tells Variety. You have to understand how much of a pillar it is to our culture. I think you need that in order to really give it the weight it deserves, and I think that I hope that more than anything people get the sense of how serious we take this. Martin Green is prepared for the life changing effect the show will have, once it premieres, on her and her co stars, who line up to praise her on set leadership. Jason Isaacs, who plays Capt. Gabriel Lorca, calls her the mother of that set. Adds Michelle Yeoh, who plays Capt. Philippa Georgiou Shes an absolute love angel. When I first got started, I had my freak out phase, Martin Green says. I had my almost catatonic moment where I thought, What is happening And I knew very quickly that I couldnt live there and that I couldnt create there. I owed it to the story and I owed it to the legacy to get it together. And I had to focus myself in gratitude. I had to focus myself on the passion for the vision for the story that were doing. Isaacs signed on because of the message the show sends in the Trump Brexit era. The world is complicated and horrible, and I dont know how to explain to my children the insanity of the people who are in charge of it at the moment, he says. I thought it was a good story to tell and something I would be happy to watch about presenting a vision of the world thats full of drama but also full of resolution and unity. Martin Green first met with Discovery co creator Bryan Fuller at New York Comic Con last October. Fuller talked to her about Burnham, a human orphan raised on planet Vulcan alongside Spock Leonard Nimoys alien first officer from the original series and thus caught between two cultural identities. Knowing that her character would be killed off The Walking Dead, she shot a video audition. But her remaining Walking Dead responsibilities presented a conflict, and CBS continued to look elsewhere. Three weeks after that Comic Con meeting, CBS announced Fuller was leaving his post as showrunner. Anyone doing a new iteration of Star Trek, you have to understand how deep it is. You have to understand how much of a pillar it is to our culture. Sonequa Martin Green. The official line is that Fuller departed via a mutual and amicable decision to focus on his other project, Starzs American Gods. He is still listed as co creator of Discovery alongside executive producer Alex Kurtzman, who speaks glowingly of him. He shares a story credit with Kurtzman on the premiere, as well as a screenplay credit with another exec producer, Akiva Goldsman. CBS Corp. CEO Leslie Moonves calls him brilliant. But sources close to Fuller and within CBS say that he was pushed out. Fuller is known as an innovative showrunner and the creator of critically adored television such as Hannibal. He is not known as someone who prioritizes deadlines and budgets above all else. In short He is not a typical CBS showrunner. Fuller declined to comment. Fuller brought another key asset to the table street cred. He cut his teeth writing on Star Trek series Deep Space Nine and Voyager. He is liked and respected in Trek fan communities which CBS hopes to convert to All Access subscriber communities. It was really important that we get somebody with a lot of Trek cred versus just getting somebody who would be an interesting voice, says David Stapf, president of CBS Television Studios. We felt like it would be smart business to give the fans what they wanted. Theres not a whole lot of people who have the visionary capability along with the Star Trek credibility and experience. So Bryan became a good and obvious choice to do that. But Fuller failed to deliver scripts months after they were due. In September, he and Kurtzman met with Moonves to deliver the news that Discovery would not make the January premiere he had been publicly touting. Moonves accepted the delay, though not happily.
