CBS All Access’ plans to grow its “Star Trek” franchise continue to come into focus.

“Crazy Rich Asians” star Michelle Yeoh is in negotiations with producers CBS Television Studios to see her “Star Trek: Discovery” character spun off into a series of her own for the subscription video on demand service. Representatives for CBS All Access and CBS TV Studios declined to comment.

Yeoh was the first actress cast in “Star Trek: Discovery,” the first new series in the franchise in years. The actress, who recurred in season one of “Discovery,” will return in season two as the new spinoff series would likely follow her adventures in Starfleet’s Section 31 division.

Should a deal with Yeoh come through, that series would become the fifth overall in CBS All Access’ “Star Trek” franchise, joining “Discovery,” the Patrick Stewart-led Picard drama, animated comedy and shortform entry “Short Treks.” Other series in the franchise are being planned under Alex Kurtzman who oversees all things “Trek” for producers CBS TV Studios.

CBS All Access recently handed out a two-season, straight-to-series animated comedy “Star Trek: Lower Decks” from Mike McMahan and Kurtzman.
