"Calypso" follows Craft (Aldis Hodge), who, after waking up in an unfamiliar sickbay, finds himself on board a deserted ship. And his only companion and hope for survival is an A.I. computer interface.
Michael Chabon wrote the teleplay based on a story credited to Sean Cochran and him. It's directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi.
"Calypso" continues CBS All Access's rollout of Star Trek: Short Treks, four standalone stories building toward the early 2019 return of Star Trek: Discovery. Each short will run approximately 10-15 minutes and will be an opportunity for fans to dive deeper into key themes and characters – including Tilly (Mary Wiseman), Saru (Doug Jones), Harry Mudd (Rainn Wilson, who directs his segment as well) and Hodge's new "Calypso" character, Craft -- that fit into Discovery and the expanding Star Trek universe.
