Does this finally put to bed the rumors that Star Trek: Discovery is set in the Kelvin timeline?  This alternate timeline was established in 2009’s Star Trek and its sequels Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Trek Beyond.

Bruce Greenwood played the character of Captain Christopher Pike in the first two of those movies.  However a new actor is cast in the CBS All Access series.

Anson Mount, star of Hell on Wheels and Inhumans is in the captain’s chair on this version of the Enterprise.

Captain Pike

Pike was captain of the famous starship before Captain James T. Kirk.  With the show set ten years prior to Kirk, we’ll get to see Pike early into his time as that ship’s captain.

Star Erek Enterprise

The introduction of Pike was expected. His name was mentioned and the Enterprise herself seen in the first season finale of Discovery.

Production on the second season begins later this month. No air date has been set yet.
