Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 expanded the timeline to the 32nd Century, diversifying the status quo of the Federation and its notable alien species. Specifically, Klingons were notably absent until the upcoming series Starfleet Academy, which will address their fate. Alex Kurtzman confirmed the inclusion of Klingons along with a hybrid species among main characters. New images indicate the presence of classic Klingon traits and hint at character hybrids, mirroring the blended nature of alien species across the Star Trek universe.
In the 32nd century context of the Trek timeline, Vulcans and Romulans are basically the same species, and plenty of other aliens seem to be from blended backgrounds too, so much so that even calling non-human characters 'aliens' feels inaccurate.
The series co-creator, Alex Kurtzman, has confirmed that the Klingons are back, as well as a 'Klingon hybrid species who are several of our main characters.'
Among the details about Starfleet Academy, new photos reveal the character of Karim Diané as a Starfleet cadet looking very much like a classic Klingon.
The speculation around Paul Giamatti's secret alien character includes the possibility that he could be a member of this hybrid Klingon species.
