Star Trek: Section 31 is a long-promoted but yet to be produced spin-off of Star Trek: Discovery. Set to play Michelle Yeoh as Georgiou from the main series and starring the titular organization behind the scenes, the series has been put on the back burner as the new Star Trek: Strange New Worlds spinoff rolls on. Now, one of Discovery's stars has explained why this is so. Actor Shazad Latif, who memorably portrayed Ash Tyler in the show's first two seasons, says there have been "mild rumors" about the future of Section 31, but nothing concrete. "It's just a yes, mild questions, but I have no idea," the actor told Digital Spy. "I think it depends on people's schedules." While at one point in 2020 Section 31 had a writers' room, in February 2021, Paramount Plus executive Julie McNamara said there were still "talks" about the show. A Variety report suggested the service would not add new Trek shows to the rotation until one of the five currently in production (Picard, Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, and Prodigy) finishes its run. Akiva Goldsman, one of the producers working on season 2 of Star Trek: Picard, was asked in March if Section 31 is still running. "I don't know. I think so," he said. Therefore, Article 31 is considered uncertain at this time.
