It looks like new Star Trek content is coming in earlier than we expected.

At the Hollywood premiere of Star Trek: Picard last week, TrekCore interviewed executive producer Heather Kadin on the red carpet and asked her whether the next season of Star Trek: Discovery would be coming straight after Picard, as Sonequa Martin-Green has implied.

Kadin answered, “It’s not up to me. CBS All Access schedules it.” She went on to explain: “Come May, a lot of things will be ready. Lower Decks will be ready. Discovery season 3 will be ready, but obviously they’re going to schedule it for people to have a constant flow of material.”

That seems to be consistent with what we know about Discovery production; producer Michelle Paradise tweeted last Friday an image that read “END OF SEASON THREE”, captioned simply “This…”. While she didn’t explicitly say, it’s likely that the tweet was referencing the end of filming of the latest season of Discovery. According to Local 873, the Toronto branch of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Disco season 3, codenamed “Green Harvest”, is in production through early February.
