Lucius Malfoy is about to boldly go where no one has gone before.
British actor Jason Isaacs, perhaps best known in America for playing Draco"s dad in the Harry Potter franchise,has signed on to play Starfleet"s newest captain in CBS All Access" upcoming Star Trek Discovery.
All we know so far about Isaacs" character is his name: Captain Lorca. Oh, and we know what his chair will look like.
The show, which takes place approximately a decade before the events of the original series, will feature one familiar character: Spock"s father Sarek, played by James Frain (Gotham, True Blood).
The cast also includesThe Walking Dead"s Sonequa Martin-Green as Lorca"s second in command and30 Rock"s Maulik Pancholy as a Starfleetmedical officer. Other roles includeTerry Serpico (Army Wives) as a high-ranking Starfleet admiral, Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as another captain and Mary Wiseman (Baskets) as a cadet who will be assigned to Lorca"s ship, the USS Discovery, after graduation.
Discovery, which began production in late January, will air its premiere episode on CBS before moving to its regular home on the subscription-based All Accessplatform, similar to the way The Good Fight launched in February. But the series has been beset by delays, and executive producer Bryan Fuller was relieved of his command.Originally due in February, the launch date was first pushed to May, and is now planned for late summer or early fall.
Last month, CBS chief Leslie Moonves told the audience at a Morgan Stanley investor conference that he wasn"t worried by the delays: Its important to get it right, and Star Trek is the family jewels.
