CBS has announce that , alongside Yeoh , Doug Jones ( Buffy , Hellboy , and many more ) and Broadway star Anthony Rapp ( Rent ) , will join the series . Yeoh will indeed play thepreviously rumoredcaptain of the Federation starship Shenzou — although her character ’s name is now Captain Georgiou , rather than Han Bo as report byDeadline . Jones will play Lieutenant Saru , a Starfleet science officer ( not attached to any particular ship in question ) that is a member of an alien species new to the franchise . Rapp will make for Lieutenant Stamets , a scientific discipline officer on the U.S.S. Discovery that specializes in an astromycology — that ’s space fungus , to you and me .
