Star Trek: Section 31 Streaming Guide Announced

Paramount+ Releases Star Trek: Section 31 – A Direct-to-Streaming Film

Following the success of Star Trek: Lower Decks and in anticipation of Strange New Worlds Season 3, Paramount+ has premiered a new Star Trek movie directly on its streaming platform. This approximately 100-minute special focuses on Michelle Yeoh's character, Philippa Georgiou, from Star Trek: Discovery, and her involvement with the clandestine Starfleet division, Section 31.

Critical reception has been mixed, with some reviews panning the film. IGN's Jordan Hoffman gave it a 2/10, criticizing its potential to alienate longtime fans while failing to engage others. However, Yeoh's performance and action sequences are cited as potential highlights.

Streaming Star Trek: Section 31

Star Trek: Section 31 streams exclusively on Paramount+, not Netflix or Disney+. Paramount+ subscriptions begin at $7.99/month, or you can add it as an Amazon Prime add-on.

Plot Synopsis

A Star Trek: Discovery spin-off, the film follows Emperor Philippa Georgiou as she navigates her role within Section 31, a secret Starfleet organization. While its placement within the overall Star Trek timeline is debated, it generally falls between the original series and Star Trek: The Next Generation. The official synopsis reads: "Emperor Philippa Georgiou is tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets. She must also face the sins of her past."
