This September it's time to boldly go where sci-fi lovers have ventured before with a brand new iteration of
Gene Roddenberry's legendary franchise,
Star Trek: Discovery.
J. J. Abrams rebooted the
Star Trek cinematic universe in 2009 and now it's finally time for another TV show to take flight and inspire another generation of dreamers following the end of
Enterprise in 2005.
The
USS Discovery has a new mission, and not just to attract subscribers to
CBS All Access the network's streaming platform, it's to offer something new and exciting and yet still please longtime fans.
Set ten years before the likes of
'Captain Kirk' and
'Spock', STD (they really didn't think that acronym though did they) will feature
The Walking Dead's Sonequa Martin-Green as
Trek's first female black lead, but not as
Captain, from a different perspective as an ambitious first officer named
'Michael Burnham'.
The show features fan-favourite
Vulcans and
Klingons, will have its first opening gay crew members, will have conflict aboard the
Federation starship and will be serialised as a point of difference to previous episodic incarnations.
These billboards for
Star Trek: Discovery really give you the sense of reaching for the stars, especially the cool special extension cut-out version, and were snapped along
Sunset Boulevard, La Brea Avenue, Westwood Boulevard and
Bundy Drive from August 19 to August 26, 2017.
Meanwhile fans of the spacefaring franchise can also enjoy these
Star Trek movie billboards filling the city skyline in recent years.
Let's hope this new journey of discovery can explore not only new worlds and aliens, but also concepts and storylines that will re-energise the
Star Trek universe and make audiences want to beam the show into their homes.
UPDATED: After their debut season of boldly going, here's an
Emmy consideration billboard for
Star Trek: Discovery.
This
CBS All Access FYC billboard was spotted along
Melrose Avenue at
Highland Avenue on June 7, 2018.
