Star Trek: Discovery season four cast
Star Trek: Discovery season 3 added a lot of new names to its cast including David Ajala as Cleveland Booker, Blu del Barrio as Adira Tal, and Ian Alexander as Grey Tal and it looks like we should expect to see all reprise their roles for season four.
Given that both Sonequa Martin-Green and Doug Jones appeared in the season four announcement video alongside co-showrunners Michelle Paradise and Alex Kurtzman, it seems pretty certain that both will also make their return.
