Michelle Yeoh Returns to 'Star Trek' in 'Section 31' Movie for Paramount+.


Michelle Yeoh will reprise her role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou, a character she first played on Star Trek: Discovery Season 1.

It was first reported that a Section 31 series with Yeoh was in development back in 2019. In the film, Yeoh will reprise the role of Emperor Philippa Georgiou, whom she began playing during Season 1 of "Star Trek: Discovery."

In the film, Georgiou joins the secret division of Starfleet tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets by any means necessary. In the process, she faces the sins of her past as the former Emperor of the Terran Empire from the Mirror Universe.

"I'm beyond thrilled to return to my Star Trek family and to the role I've loved for so long," said Yeoh.

"Section 31 has been near and dear to my heart since I began the journey of playing Philippa all the way back when this new golden age of Star Trek launched."

"To see her finally get her moment is a dream come true in a year that's shown me the incredible power of never giving up on your dreams."

"We can't wait to share what's in store for you, and until then: live long and prosper (unless Emperor Georgiou decrees otherwise)!"
