Paramount+ unleashes a new Star Trek movie, Star Trek: Section 31, directly to its streaming platform, hot on the heels of Lower Decks and ahead of Strange New Worlds Season 3. This roughly 100-minute film centers on Michelle Yeoh's Philippa Georgiou and her involvement with Starfleet's clandestine Section 31.

Critical reception has been mixed, with some reviews panning the film. However, Yeoh's performance and action sequences are highlighted as potential redeeming qualities. Intrigued? Here's where to watch and what to expect.

Where to Stream Star Trek: Section 31

Star Trek: Section 31 streams exclusively on Paramount+, bypassing Netflix and Disney+. Paramount+ subscriptions begin at $7.99/month, or you can add it as an Amazon Prime add-on.

About Star Trek: Section 31

A Star Trek: Discovery spin-off, the film expands on Michelle Yeoh's character arc, following her as an undercover agent within Section 31.
