Following the announcement that the show had been renewed for another two seasons, filming for
Star Trek: Discovery season four officially began in Toronto in November 2020 with new safety measures and restrictions put in place due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic
Did you enjoy season three?
If it all goes smoothly,
filming should be wrapped up by June 2021. However, it could be a while before the new season hits screens given the show s lengthy post-production process. One thing we know for sure is that the show will continue to air on US channel CBS All Access before landing on
Netflix the next day for international fans of the sci-fi series.
After following Commander Burnham into the wormhole in the second season finale, Season 3 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.

When
Star Trek: Discovery did a massive time jump at the end of season two, I was concerned. Time jumps can go one of two ways, but this was the right move for the show.

This season of
Star Trek: Discovery has introduced us to new characters and new worlds, but it’s kept at least one element firmly old-school: those killer fight scenes. And with action-movie legend Michelle Yeoh’s charactervisiting the Mirror Universe in recent weeks, the combat’s only gotten more ferocious.

A new behind-the-scenes video with
Discovery stunt coordinator Christopher McGuire gives us a peek at the preparation, training, and emotional contextualizing that goes into these sequences, with actors like David Ajala (whose character, Book, punched it out with his estranged brother earlier this season) sharing insights into the process. There’s a special focus on last week’s fight between Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Yeoh’s Emperor Georgiou, though the best part might be McGuire’s full-on delight at working with the iconic Yeoh. (Can you blame him?)
