The Crazy Rich Asians star is in talks to reprise her Star Trek Discovery role.

The star is in negotiations with producers CBS Television Studios to see her character get a spin-off into a new series.

As the franchise grows and the Trekverse expands, it seems that Yeoh might helm her own fleet and show as Captain Emperor Georgiou. Yeoh, who recurred in season one of Discovery, will return in season two.

Should a stand-alone Captain Emperor Georgiou series happen at CBS All Access, it would be the fifth overall in CBS All Access’ Star Trek franchise and would most likely focus on her adventures in Starfleet’s Section 31 division.  The secret organization was first introduced on the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine series.

Representatives for CBS All Access and CBS TV Studios declined to comment.
