Star Trek: Section 31 Streaming Guide: Explore the Shadowy Series

Paramount+ Releases Star Trek: Section 31 – A Direct-to-Streaming Film

Following the success of Star Trek: Lower Decks and in anticipation of Strange New Worlds Season 3, Paramount+ has surprised fans with a new Star Trek movie, released directly to its streaming platform. Clocking in at approximately 100 minutes, this special focuses on Michelle Yeoh's character, Philippa Georgiou, from Star Trek: Discovery, and her involvement with the clandestine Starfleet division, Section 31.

Critical reception, however, has been mixed. IGN's Jordan Hoffman gave the film a scathing 2/10 review, stating it would likely infuriate longtime fans while boring newcomers. He praised Yeoh's fight scenes as the only redeeming quality, preventing the movie from receiving an even lower score.

Despite the negative reviews, viewers curious about the film's quality or Michelle Yeoh's performance may still be interested. Below are the streaming details for Star Trek: Section 31.
