Paramount+ has released the official trailer for ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ Season 2, which premieres on the streaming service this June. It also gives us the first look at the crossover with the animated series ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks‘.
In season two of ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, under the command of Captain Christopher Pike, confronts increasingly dangerous stakes, explores uncharted territories and encounters new life and civilizations. The crew will also embark on personal journeys that will continue to test their resolve and redefine their destinies. Facing friends and enemies both new and familiar, their adventures will unfold in surprising ways never seen before on any “Star Trek” series.
The trailer revealed a first look at the previously announced special crossover episode featuring ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Tawny Newsome as Beckett Mariner and Jack Quaid as Brad Boimler in live-action form aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. The episode, which will also feature animation, was directed by “Star Trek: The Next Generation” actor and director, and beard-wearer extraordinaire, Jonathan Frakes.
If that wasn’t enough, we also get a few glimpses of special guest star Paul Wesley, who returns as James T. Kirk. How and why, we don’t know, but it’s going to be an interesting ride finding out!
The series stars Anson Mount as Christopher Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Una Chin-Riley, Ethan Peck as Spock, Jess Bush as Christine Chapel, Christina Chong as La’An Noonien-Singh, Celia Rose Gooding as Nyota Uhura, Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas and Babs Olusanmokun as Joseph M’Benga. Season two also features new addition Carol Kane in a recurring role as Pelia.
