We still don’t know much specific information about Star Trek: Discovery, the franchise’s return to television after over a decade, but showrunner Bryan Fuller has dropped a few more hints during the Television Critics Association press tour this week.

According to TV Guide, the show’s lead character will be a woman, but she won’t be the captain of the USS Discovery. All iterations of Star Trek, especially from The Next Generation onward, have had an ensemble cast to some degree, but the commanding officer’s perspective has usually been the most important.

“To see a character from a different perspective on a starship, who has a different dynamic [and] relationship with the captain and with subordinates, felt like it was going to give us richer context [and allow us to] have different types of stories with that character,” said Fuller.
