'Star Trek: Discovery' Season 2 promises more Michelle Yeoh

Without giving too much away for those who haven't fully caught up with the show, she is not quite the Philippa Georgiou we met in the series premiere. But she is back. And badass.

In season two of the CBS All Access series, we find Georgiou as the newest recruit to Starfleet's shadowy Section 31. IGN recently unveiled some handsome new character posters, and a black-clad Michelle Yeoh is prominently featured alongside Anson Mount as Christopher Pike, the original captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise.

We might have missed a few, but here you go. These are new shows.
