Star Trek Discovery Announces Four New Cast Members

Star Trek: Discovery has four new cast members and assigned an existing cast member a new role. The new hires are:

- Shazad Latif (Penny Dreadful), playing Lieutenant Tyler. He was going to a Klingon named Kol
- Kenneth Mitchell (Frequency), now assigned the role of Kol who is a commanding officer of the Klingon Empire.
- Rekha Sharma (Battlestar Galactica), Starship Discovery security officer named Commander Landry
- Clare McConnell (newbie actor), a Klingon Empire leader named Dennas
- Damon Runyan (Suits), a Klingon Empire leader named Ujilli

At this point either this show has a really large ensemble cast or they are announcing guest actors for whatever reason. As for when the show will finally be released, CBS is sticking with "Fall" but if the looming writers' strike starts that date could be pushed to next year as the series is still filming and the strike would likely delay completion of the show.
