00:45 "We're on our way."
00:47 Sonequa Martin-Green, who plays Michael Burnham,
00:51 the first black female captain to lead a Star Trek series,
00:54 heads a cast of talented and diverse actors
00:57 who carry on Trek's optimistic view of the future
01:00 and humanity's unlimited potential.
01:03 The series has been especially lauded for breaking barriers
01:06 with its LGBTQ+ representation.
01:10 Star Trek Discovery's success opened the door for additional series,
01:15 including Star Trek Picard,

01:21 and reuniting with the crew of the Enterprise
01:24 from Star Trek The Next Generation.
