After months of trade press spilling the beans, StarTrek.com finally confirmed on Monday that Sonequa Martin-Green will star as First Officer Michael Burnham in Star Trek: Discovery.
This may have something to do with the fact that she was playing Sasha on The Walking Dead … until Sunday’s season finale of the AMC series, that is.
Martin-Green comes to Discovery following a long and bloody run as Sasha Williams on The Walking Dead. Her other television and film credits include Toe to Toe, New Girl, Once Upon a Time, The Good Wife, Army Wives and Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
Martin-Green joins a growing cast that also features Jason Isaacs as Captain Lorca, Rainn Wilson as Harry Mudd, Mary Wiseman as a Starfleet cadet named Tilly and many more. Catch up on all the latest Discovery news below:
