Star Trek: Strange New Worlds crossover with Lower Decks Rebecca Romijn as Una Chin-Riley / Number One.And as far as new cast members go, expect a new engineer to replace Hemmer, and welcome comedy legend Carol Kane ( Taxi), who has been tapped to play the recurring character of Pelia, an engineer who "suffers no fools," according to Paramount+'s press release, and "solves problems calmly and brusquely." Based on her recurring status, we don't think she's the new regular engineer character.Ĭarol Kane, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Kharen Hill/Paramount+ Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Main Cast: Paul Wesley will return as Captain James Kirk in Season 2 - that's what he was originally cast for the appearance in the Season 1 finale was just a nice bonus surprise - but we're not yet sure in what capacity. But barring a flashback or some sort of miraculous resurrection, we've likely seen the last of Bruce Horak's Hemmer, who tragically died in the penultimate episode of Season 1, breaking our hearts in the process. That includes the obvious: Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, Ethan Peck, Christina Chong, Ceila Rose Gooding, Melissa Navia, and Jess Bush as their respective characters. You can expect most of the main cast to return for Season 2. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Cast Let's just say it doesn't go as she planned. 8, Paramount+ revealed the first look at Season 2 with a clip featuring Erica Ortegas (Melissa Navia), who is usually stuck on the ship as a pilot, psyched to be joining the landing party on a mission. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Videos We're expecting Discovery to come back earlier in 2023, with Strange New Worlds following shortly after, perhaps in late spring or early summer. Would P+ consider anything but an on-and-off cycle between Strange New Worlds and Discovery, which share a lot of history as Strange New Worlds is technically a spin-off of Discovery? Probably not. Shows heavy on special effects take longer to produce, and Paramount+ has a whole slate of Star Trek shows to contend with. However, the likelihood of getting Season 2 sooner than later depends on a few factors. With that long of a head start, Season 2 started production in February 2022 and completed in July, according to director Chris Fisher's tweet, which is right after Season 1 ended. 2021, meaning the ol' think tank on Season 2 was getting to work well before it normally would on a regular show. 18, 2022, months before Season 1 premiered, and leaks about plans to start production on Season 2 came out in Nov.

Thankfully, the sci-fi series was renewed for Season 2 before the first season even aired, but that just leaves us with questions about what's to come. There's also continuity with Star Trek: The Original Series, as it's a firm prequel that features familiar characters like Spock (Ethan Peck), Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), and more. The series follows Captain Kirk's predecessor Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) as he takes The Enterprise on missions around the galaxy for Starfleet, and each episode tells a standalone story from a variety of genres. But Star Trek: Strange New Worlds pulled it off, becoming one of the best series in the franchise, and certainly making a claim to being the best of the new batch. Not only is adding any new series to the legendary franchise a difficult decision - though with five current Star Trek shows in production, Paramount+ doesn't seem to think so - but Strange New Worlds had the idea to mimic the formula of the original series, leaving it even further open to criticism from longtime fans.
