Star Trek: Discovery will take place 10 years before Captain Kirk's mission, therefore functioning as a prelude to the original series. The attraction will have a female protagonist and also a gay character.
The Star Trek TV reboot will introduce new characters, but will continue to seek out new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring contemporary themes, following the same lines as the original 60s series.
The new series will be the first Star Trek series to go into production since the end of Enterprise in 2005.
