Alex Kurtzman continued to assuage some fans’ concerns by saying that season three wouldn’t break from established Star Trek canon because of 900-year time jump, and he also promised that fans would always have their expectations challenged.

Season three newcomer David Ajala was asked about his character Cleveland Booker, and he remarked that Booker and Burnham have an “unorthodox” relationship. That about sums up what we know about Ajala’s character so far.

Meanwhile, Doug Jones was asked about his character’s ever-evolving relationship with Burnham, and Jones noted how season three will continue the brother/sister relationship between the two characters, with all the ups and downs that come with it.
