Russ Weakland Just days before the “Star Trek: Picard” team celebrated its series finale with an FYC red carpet event in Hollywood Wednesday night, Paramount+ announced that Michelle Yeoh will reprise her role of Philippa Georgiou in the upcoming event film, “Star Trek: Section 31.” The announcement had the cast of “Picard” extremely excited for Yeoh’s return and eager to give kudos to the newly minted Oscar winner. “It is a really cool time to have Michelle Yeoh back in the family,” Jonathan Frakes, who plays Commander William Riker and has directed dozens of episodes across the “Star Trek” television universe, told Variety. “I had the privilege of directing her a number of times on ‘Discovery.’ She’s a very special human being. She is a special actor. So the idea that we get her now on ‘Section 31’ is kind of a big deal.” 

The final season of “Star Trek: Picard” is closely approaching. Created by Terry Matalas, the series will reunite Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard with most of the main cast of “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Returning to the “Star Trek” universe are LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, Brent Spiner, and Jeri Ryan, who reprise their respective roles as Geordi La Forge, Worf, William Riker, Beverly Crusher, Deanna Troi, Lore, and Seven of Nine.
