Star Trek: Section 31 Has a Filming Date – Trek Central
trekcentral.net
It's happening! It's really happening! Despite being the first Star Trek: Discovery spin-off to be announced, Star Trek: Section 31 has been in production hell ever since. Pandemics and its star, Michelle Yeoh's insanely in-demand work schedule have stuck it in the production pipeline. But after years of delay and an Academy Award, Section 31 will go ahead as a movie. Hints and rumours had already started to swirl before the official announcement. Of course, fans were sceptical, given the previous delays, but now we have solid evidence it's actually happening!

The Directors’ Guild of Ontario hotlist is a fairly reliable source for production guild news. Star Trek preproduction in the Greater Toronto Area usually shows up there before any official announcements of production dates.

Today’s hotlist update adds a rumour for a CBS Studios television movie to start production in October.

Is ‘Dovercourt’ the working pseudonym for S31 this round? Or is there some other made for streaming movie in the schedule for CBS Stages Mississauga? Only time will tell…

      I think of Section 31 as the Federation’s dirty little secret, operating off the books, weapon of last resort. I wasn’t surprised that the Federation was capable of things that didn’t fit its public doctrine when the utter destruction of the people of Federation by an outside, more powerful force was nigh. The Federation leans into diplomacy, but I never thought it impossible for them to have bag of tricks – Section 31. To me, the Federation would let the Federation fall because, say, member worlds left. But, not when something is about to destroy most or all of the people of the Federation.
