First STAR TREK: DISCOVERY Season 3 Trailer Teases the Federation in 3187


The future of the Federation isn't great.

CBS All Access has released the first teaser trailer for Season 3 of Star Trek: Discovery, providing the first glimpse of what happened to the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery after travelling 930 years into their future to the year 3187 at the end of the Season 2 finale, "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2".

The one-minute, ten-second trailer opens with Commander Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) digging out from being covered with dirt on an alien world and grabbing her communicator.

As we see fleeting images of Burnham transitioning to longer hair, she remarks in a voiceover, "I've spent a year searching that domino that tipped over and started all of this."

We then see a group of Andorians and humans armed with weapons,.who fire some sort of shockwave at Burnham and new character Cleveland "Book" Booker (David Ajala), sending them flying.

In a separate scene, Burnham and Book are walking across alien terrain, with Book observing, "You believe in ghosts."

"What does that mean?" asks Burnham.

"That badge on your shirt."  Realizing Book is referring to her Starfleet insignia on her uniform, Burnham pauses to consider the statement.

Next, we see Commander Saru (Doug Jones) and Ensign Sylvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman) in some sort of robes entering a strange room.

This is followed by Burnham and Book entering a stark white office, where an unknown man states, "I have watched this office every day, believing that my hope was not in vain..."  The man lowers a Federation flag, which only shows six stars, hinting that in 3187, there are only six worlds remaining in the United Federation of Planets.  "...And that hope is you, Commander Burnham."

We glimpse Burnham floating in a pool of white liquid, followed by a group of Trills.  

As we see the Discovery in space, Saru remarks in a voiceover, "This ship bears the name Discovery.  She has carried us into the future.  And it will be our privilege to make that future bright."

"Let's see how this plays out, shall we?" says the Mirror Universe counterpart of Phillipa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh).

Lastly, we cut back to the scene in the white office, with the unknown man holding Burnham by both hands in front of the Federation flag and asking her, "Where will you go?"

"Wherever the answers are," replies Burnham as the trailer ends.
