Star Trek's revival of the streaming platform will be delayed and this will surely cause sadness among its fans. Clearly, despite the show continuing its casting, it is still on the verge of postponing "CBS All Access' Star Trek: Discovery."

Meanwhile, EW reported that it has learned two major progress in regards to the "Star Trek: Discovery" series. First is that it will cast Spock's father, Sarek, as one of its key characters. Sarek's character is the first one who has emerged in the previous Trek franchise who has joined the brand new series. The son of Skon will be played by actor James Frain who is known as mayor Theo "Azrael" Galavan in one of Fox's show, Gotham.

The second one is that "Star Trek: Discovery" will start shooting next week in Toronto. However, despite announcing its debut earlier, the series will not have its premiere in May and this has been the second time that the show has changed its scheduled launching. It is said that the reason for the delay was caused by the new showrunners Aaron Harberts and Gretchen Berg.

The other reasons may involve the cast star Sonequa Martin-Green who is also starring on the hit series, "The Walking Dead." TWD's current season will be aired until April and it might cause confusion to the marketplace if CBS will also promote her as the star of the new sci-fi series, "Star Trek: Discovery." There are also other factors involved such as the set design, special effects, etc. (via Hollywood Reporter)

"Production on Star Trek: Discovery begins next week. We love the cast, the scripts and are excited about the world the producers have created," CBS All Access reps stated. They have also cited that since it is an ambitious project, they are willing to be flexible enough on its launch date as long as it will be the best for the series.
