Star Trek: Section 31 director Olatunde Osunsanmi reflected on the journey of the project during New York Comic Con, explaining why it was made into a movie rather than a TV series. While the forthcoming Star Trek: Section 31 will be the franchise’s first TV film, it was originally envisioned as a spinoff series to Star Trek: Discovery focused on Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh). However, during the development process, it was later announced to be a film about her joining the secret Starfleet division while facing down her past in the Mirror Universe.
