After the war concluded at the end of its premiere season, the showrunners of "Star Trek Discovery" revealed that they were preparing for the details of the sci-fi series' season 2.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, showrunner Aaron Harberts and Gretchen J. Berg revealed how they are conceptualizing the plot for the sophomore season of "Star Trek: Discovery" after the end of a big war.
According to Harberts, they are considering to showcase the eternal conflict between science and spirituality next season after the destruction caused by the war. "How do you rebuild yourself?
