Star Trek: Discovery is boldly going on the cover of Entertainment Weekly.
Not just one cover. The first Star Trek series in over a decade will grace three collector covers for fans to seek out. See all three in the gallery below.
The first cover is a solo shot featuring star Sonequa Martin-Green as lead character Commander Michael Burnham. This cover can only be found at Barnes & Noble locations.
The second EW cover features two starship captains: Captain Lorca of the USS Discovery (Jason Isaacs) and Captain Georgiou of the USS Shenzhou (Michelle Yeoh).
The third cover features Martin-Green as Burnham once again, only this time she's with supporting cast, including Doug Jones as Lt. Saru, Mary Wiseman as Starfleet Cadete Sylvia Tilly, and Anthony Rapp as science officer Paul Stamets, who will make Star Trek history by becoming the first openly gay main cast member of a Star Trek television series.
Set 10 years prior to the five-year mission of the Enterprise in Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: Discovery follows the adventures of Starfleet on their missions to discover new worlds and new lifeforms, and one Starfleet officer who must learn that to truly understand all things alien, you must first understand yourself. The series will feature a new ship, new characters, and new missions while embracing the same ideology and hope for the future that inspired a generation of dreamers and doers.
Star Trek: Discovery's cast also includes Jason Isaacs as the starship Discovery's Captain Lorca, Rainn Wilson as Star Trek: The Original Series character HarryMudd, James Frain as Sarek, Spock's father, and Michelle Yeoh as CaptainGeorgiou, the captain of another Starfleet ship, the Shenzhou, which will be important to the plot of Star Trek: Discovery. Doug Jones and Anthony Rapp both play science officers. Mary Wiseman will play a final year Starfleet Academy cadet.
Star Trek: Discovery was created by Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman. Fuller was originally intended to be Discovery's showrunner but was forced step down due to commitments to Starz' adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods. Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts have taken over as showrunners.
Star Trek: Discovery was announced in 2015 and, though the series intends to abandon at least one key Roddenberry principal and adjust the series for modern expectation, CBS hoped to have the series debut as part of Star Trek's 50th-anniversary celebration. CBS missed that window and instead the series will come close to a debut on the 30thanniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Star Trek: Discovery premieres Sept. 24, 2017.
