We here in the 21st century are continuing to grapple with COVID-19, and could use some distractions. Unfortunately, help from the distant future could be slow to arrive, as Star Trek: Discovery editor Scott Gamzon revealed that while post-production on season 3 is continuing as the crew members work from home, it’s going to “take longer” than expected:

And yes, Gamzon is talking to series star Wilson Cruz (Dr. Hugh Culber). All the conversation is happening on Twitter.

Luckily for Star Trek fans, filming on season 3 was completed before most of the entertainment world shut down in order slow the spread of the coronavirus, with first-look photos already out there. The new season will find Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and the crew of the  U.S.S. Discovery dealing with a bewildering nor normal after they were flung hundreds of years into their own future — what does the future of this futuristic world look like? Stay tuned.

How long must we stay tuned for? We still don’t know, although season 3 didn’t have a release date even before COVID-19 hit, so technically it’s not being pushed back. We’ll keep our ears to the ground for more.
