"Crazy Rich Asians" star Michelle Yeoh is in negotiations to play the lead role in the "Star Trek Discovery" spin-off.
According to Deadline, the actor is in talks to continue her journey as Captain Emperor Georgiou for a standalone "Star Trek" series for CBS All Access.
Yeoh was the first actor cast in "Star Trek: Discovery," the first new series in the franchise in years.
The actor, who recurred in season one of "Discovery", will return in season two as the new spin-off series would likely follow her adventures in Starfleet's Section 31 division.
The potential spin-off is not the only new "Star Trek" project in the works, as it was announced this summer that Patrick Stewart will reprise his role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in another CBS All Access series.
CBS All Access also recently handed out a two-season, straight-to-series animated comedy "Star Trek: Lower Decks", from Mike McMahan (Rick and Morty) and Alex Kurtzman.
