Canadian production designer who took over the art department of Star Trek: Discovery for its third season, establishing the look of the thirty-second century after the series jumped far into the future.
Phillip Barker is a Canadian production designer and film-maker with a long career in Canadian cinema, including several films directed by Atom Egoyan.
He succeeded Tamara Deverell as production designer of Star Trek: Discovery for the third season, which was released between October 2020 and January 2021. Because that season moved the story more than nine hundred years forward, his department had to design a new era almost from scratch.
The season's thirteen episodes, from That Hope Is You, Part 1 to That Hope Is You, Part 2, introduced settings such as the hidden Federation headquarters, the courier Book's ship and the worlds visited in the search for the cause of the Burn. Doug McCullough took over as production designer from the fourth season.
