The panel kicked off with Sonequa Martin-Green (Commander Michael Burnham) revealing that, earlier this month, principal photography started on the third season of Star Trek: Discovery. Then, the panel welcomed actor David Ajala, who will be joining the cast as a new character named Cleveland Booker (a.k.a. "Book"). Described as smart and capable, Book has the kind of natural charm and reckless attitude that gets him into trouble almost as often as it get him out of it.
