Section 31 will see the return of Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh’s Philippa Georgiou. While Georgiou was originally introduced as the well respected Captain of the USS Shenzhou in Star Trek: Discovery, that version of the character was swiftly dispatched in a shock season 1 twist. Later, however, the crew of the Discovery met the Mirror Universe version of the character – a ruthless Terran emperor. Making her way back to the Prime Universe, after a whole bunch of space shenanigans that we won’t spoil here, Mirror Georgiou eventually became a member of Starfleet’s special ops agency, Section 31.

The fourteenth Star Trek movie may be the first to go direct to streaming, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be any less of a spectacle than we’ve come to expect from the Federation’s ‘big screen’ outings. With a promise that the sins of Georgiou’s past are finally starting to catch up with her.

You won’t want to miss the franchise’s first movie in nearly a decade, so read on for how to watch Star Trek: Section 31 online and from anywhere.
