Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 is off to an explosive start, as Michael Burnham finds herself transported over 900 years into a future without the United Federation or Starfleet.
While the season premiere focused entirely on Burnham and her new companion, the enigmatic scoundrel Cleveland Booker, a preview for the Season 3's second episode confirms the rest of Discovery's crew will follow her into the year 3188. Aptly titled "Far from Home," the trailer has Saru lead the crew to familiar worlds that have become deadly in the centuries since the Discovery was last seen.
Burnham and the Discovery had been transported to the future during the climactic battle against Section 31 at the end of Season 2. With its new time period, the series is now past all established Star Trek canon to forge a bold, new future.
Post-production on Season 3 had been impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, delaying its premiere by several months.
After following Commander Burnham into the wormhole in the second season finale, season three of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY finds the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery landing in an unknown future far from the home they once knew. Now living in a time filled with uncertainty, the U.S.S. Discovery crew, along with the help of some new friends, must work together to restore hope to the Federation.
