Star Trek: Discovery Comic-Con Plans Announced

Star Trek: Discovery has officially set a course for Comic-Con International: San Diego

The stars of Star Trek: Discovery will make their first official appearance together on Saturday, July 22 in Ballroom 20 at Comic-Con International in San Diego.

Sonequa Martin-Green, Jason Isaacs, Doug Jones, Shazad Latif, Mary Wiseman, Anthony Rapp, and James Frain will all be in attendance, alongside Executive Producers Alex Kurtzman, Gretchen J. Berg, Aaron Harberts, Heather Kadin, and Akiva Goldsman. Guest star Rainn Wilson, who plays Star Trek: The Original Series character Harry Mudd on Star Trek: Discovery, will serve as moderator.

Star Trek: Discovery will also host a gallery take over at the Michael J. Wolf Fine Arts Gallery. Fans who visit the gallery can interact with the captain’s chair from the U.S.S. Discovery as well as with other props and costumes from the set of the new series. In addition, 1,000 fans daily will be eligible to receive a limited-edition Star Trek: Discovery poster. The two different poster designs can be seen in above. The exhibit will be open from Thursday through Sunday and does not require a Comic-Con badge for entry.

Also from Thursday through Sunday, CBS will offer free rides through San Diego’s Gaslamp District in pedicabs replicating the design of the U.S.S. Discovery‘s captain’s chair.

Lastly, on Friday and Saturday fans can participate in the #TrekDiscovery challenge. Comic-Con attendees can encounter costumed ambassadors representing each of the first five Star Trek series: The Original Series, The Next Generation, Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and Enterprise.

Fans who post photos on Twitter or Instagram tagged #TrekDiscovery with each of the five series’ crews, plus one of themselves seated in the Discovery captain’s chair, will be eligible to win a Roku streaming stick and a subscription to CBS All Access. Clues as the crew’s locations can be found on the Star Trek Twitter and Instagram accounts.

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 premieres Sept. 24, 2017, on CBS All Access following the broadcast premiere on CBS.
