The first season of the American television series Star Trek: Discovery is set roughly a decade before the events of the original Star Trek series, and follows the crew of the USS Discovery during the Federation–Klingon war. The season is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Secret Hideout, Roddenberry Entertainment, and Living Dead Guy Productions, with Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts serving as showrunners, and Akiva Goldsman providing producing support.
Sonequa Martin-Green stars as Michael Burnham, first officer of the USS Shenzhou and later the Discovery, along with Doug Jones, Shazad Latif, Anthony Rapp, Mary Wiseman, and Jason Isaacs. The new series was announced in November 2015, and Bryan Fuller joined as showrunner the next February. He was replaced by Berg and Harberts in October 2016 following creative disagreements with CBS. The season's war storyline was intended to represent the divide between different political factions of the modern United States. The Klingon species was redesigned for the season, and its culture and biology was greatly developed. Filming took place in Toronto, Canada from January to October 2017, with additional filming on location in Jordan for the series premiere. The visual effects team, led by Pixomondo, and composer Jeff Russo aimed for the series' quality to be comparable to that of a feature film.
The season premiered on September 19, 2017, at ArcLight Hollywood, before debuting on CBS on September 24. The premiere episode was also made available on CBS All Access, where the rest of the 15-episode season was streamed weekly. The season was split into two chapters, with the first ending on November 12 and the second releasing from January 7 to February 11, 2018. The season's release led to record subscriptions for All Access, and generally positive reviews from critics who highlighted Martin-Green's performance, the series' production values, and its new additions to Star Trek canon. Some criticized the season's writing, particularly for the structure of the season and how its many subplots were handled. A second season was ordered in October 2017.

In March 2018, a "secret scene" was released depicting an alternative ending to the season finale. It features Mirror Georgiou being approached by an operative of Section 31, a storyline that is further explored in the second season of the series.

Accolades
Netflix listed Star Trek: Discovery fourth in its list of series most watched together by families in 2017. Martin-Green was named TVLine's Performer of the Week for her performance in "The Wolf Inside", in which Burnham is "put through the emotional wringer with a barrage of jaw-dropping twists, giving Martin-Green an opportunity to deliver her finest performance of the season." In January 2019, Comic Book Resources rated Discovery's first season as the ninth best season of all Star Trek series up to that time, comparing its high production values to a feature film and calling Michael Burnham "the most interesting character Trek has provided us in generations".
