“Proud to be a part of @StarTrek. Discovery Season 3 releases on 15th October on @CBSAllAccess here is the Trailer,” Adil wrote on Twitter. He also thanked his co-star, Sonequa Martin-Green “for being so generous and kind.”

The one-minute trailer features Adil quite prominently. “I watched this office every day, believing that my hope was not in vain. That hope is you, Commander Burnham,” his character, a Federation rep, tells Sonequa’s character.

Here’s the official synopsis of season 3: “After following Commander Burnham into the wormhole in the second season finale, season three of Star Trek: Discovery finds the U.S.S. Discovery crew landing into an unknown future far from the home they once knew. Now living in a time filled with uncertainty, the U.S.S. Discovery crew, along with the help of some new friends, must work together to restore hope to the Federation.”

Returning cast members include Doug Jones as Saru, Anthony Rapp as Paul Stamets, Mary Wiseman as Sylvia Tilly, and Wilson Cruz as Hugh Culber, Michelle Yeoh as Philippa Georgiou, and Tig Notaro as Jet Reno. Meanwhile, fans can also check out Star Trek: Picard, which features Patrick Stewart retuning to his iconic role, and the upcoming Star Trek: Lower Decks, an animated comedy about the overlooked members of a starship.
