The third season of Star Trek: Discovery has barely begun its mission in 3188, but production is now officially underway on season 4. CBS All Access had previous announced that production on new episodes would begin on November 2.
That news has now been confirmed by executive producer Michelle Paradise who has tweeted the simple message “Season 4, here we go!” as production got underway.

Paradise later went on to tweet her admiration to the series writers and production team for pulling the new season together under pandemic circumstances.
Day One of season 4! So proud of our room – breaking and writing from corners, kitchens, garages, & home offices. And our production team – prepping a new season is a lot, esp. in a pandemic. They've done INCREDIBLE work to get us here and keep everyone safe. #StarTrekDiscovery

Actor Doug Jones, who plays the now Captain Saru, also took to social media with his pre-production ritual. The actor regularly shaves his head to speed up the process of getting in to his Kelpien makeup.

No one makes me do this, it’s my own decision to save the extra step and time of bald capping before my Kelpien prosthetics are applied. pic.twitter.com/x58cDyOJ7E
Star Trek executive producer Alex Kurtzman is also gearing up for production on Star Trek: Picard season 2.
