In a video shared on her social media, Lynch said, “When you’ve already been champion of the world there’s really only one place where you can go next…and that’s to the stars!”
Lynch continued, “And I’m so excited to share with all of you that I’m joining Star Trek: Starfleet Academy as part of the bridge crew and this has been the most incredible experience acting alongside just a spectacular cast and crew.”
