It seems like light years since we first heard about this, but CBS All Access has finally released the very first trailer for Star Trek: Discovery, and it actually looks pretty damn good.

The teaser introduces Sonequa Martin-Green's lead character as she's given her first command, and from there we're treated to some stunning visuals and glimpses of several of the other crew members. We also get a much better look at those newly designed Klingons, and it's safe to day they'll take a bit of getting used to!

In addition, it's been announced that the first season will now run for 15 episodes instead of the original 13, and there's also going to be an after-show called Talking Trek.

Check out the trailer and a lovely new poster below, and let us know what you think in the usual place.

Star Trek, one of the most iconic and influential global television franchises, returns to television 50 years after it first premiered with STAR TREK: DISCOVERY. 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. The series will premiere on the CBS Television Network with all subsequent episodes available on CBS All Access, the Network’s digital subscription video on demand and live streaming service, and will be distributed concurrently by CBS Studios International on Netflix in 188 countries and in Canada on Bell Media’s Space channel and OTT service CraveTV.

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Alex Kurtzman’s Secret Hideout, Bryan Fuller’s Living Dead Guy Productions and Roddenberry Entertainment. Alex Kurtzman, Bryan Fuller, Heather Kadin, Gretchen J. Berg & Aaron Harberts, Akiva Goldsman, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth serve as executive producers.

Star Trek: Discovery will star Sonequa Martin-Green in the lead role, as well as James Frain (Sarek), Doug Jones (Lt. Saru), Anthony Rapp (Lt. Stamets), Michelle Yeoh (Starfleet Captain Georgiou), and Shazad Latif as a Klingon officer named Kol.

@Oberlin4Prez - I agree with the visuals.

I used to be against the ppossibility of a STAR WARS live action series because I always felt it would match the films. But if this is the visual effect quailty on a TV budget NOW, imagine hwo it will improve in the nextc couple of years.

That actually looks decent. Good to see Star Trek returning to TV. As much as I like the Abrams film series, television has always seemed like Star Treks true home.

Battlestar Galactica is better.

Gunn talks about Nathan Fillion's cameo here on a facebook post. I think it's worth mentioning because I think Gunn intends Wonder Man to actually be a prominent character at some point, judging by the post.

Whoa, this is a show? With the production values that high, it looks like a damn movie.

I'm not fond of having another prequel series, personally, but if it's good, then I'll hop aboard for another Trek.

Lens flares!

Not digging that Klingon look at all.

Honestly, even though a lot of the jokes landed with a thunk, I liked the visuals of the "Next Generation"/"Galaxy Quest" inspired "Orville" better. Turn on a damn light once in a while.

Damn, it looks good. Great scale. Lessons learned from the recent films - the camera isn't locked off on the Bridge. New angles. Lessons to be forgotten - LENS FLARE. But still saddled with pre-Kirk era - and 'new' Klingons. A different timeline?

I know it sounds illogical to say this, but if this trailer changed nothing else except say it was set after TNG/DS9/TSV, then i would be sooo crazy hyped for this.

Like other that Sarek, there seems to be no reason to set this before TOS. The visuals look super cool and futuristic. It has none of the retro charm of Abrams movies.

All the period setting does here is seriously kill my buzz. So crazy that such a small detail could be such a dampener, but it is.

@528491 - yes! Build on the success of an awesome show that was. [frick] all this nostalgia. Moving forward with the concept was what kept this franchise going.
