Walking Dead actor Sonequa Martin-Green is taking the reigns as the main character for this series. She will be playing First Officer Michael Burnham. There has been some debate over the name of the main character in the shoe with some suggesting that they will be transgender and others suggesting that the name is now unisex for women. We won’t know for sure until CBS makes an announcement ahead of the projected September launch date.
