The latest addition to the cast of Star Trek: Discovery is the girl from Crimson Peak, Emily Coutts. Currently, there is no word on what role she is going to play, but according to the IMDB page of the series, Emily will reportedly work as a Conn officer on the ship. Although we don’t know whether she is going to be a human or an alien, but she is definitely a great addition to the cast.
