STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS Season 2 With Anson Mount Premieres June 15th
Season 2 of space adventure Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, starring Anson Mount as Captain Pike, premieres June 15th on Paramount+.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds follows the voyages of Capt. Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) on the U.S.S. Enterprise, which predate the voyages of Capt. James T. Kirk on the U.S.S. Enterprise.
Season 1:
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds tells new stories each episode using different genres and costumes like the OG Star Trek did, but season one had one ongoing emotional arc: Captain Pike grappling with the knowledge that his future is one of constant pain and horrible disfigurement. The season one finale presented him with a different timeline where he saves himself but dooms Spock to a similar agony and a Romulan war that leaves millions dead. Not much of a choice for Captain Pike.
Season 2:
What happens with Rebecca Romijin’s Number One aka Una, who has been hiding the fact that she is Illyrian? In the final moments of season one, she was arrested for violating the anti-genetic modifications directive.
We will see Paul Wesley’s James T. Kirk in season 2 in some form. In the season one finale’s alternate timeline, he appeared as Captain of the U.S.S. Farragut. (James’s older brother Sam Kirk serves on the U.S.S. Enterprise).
Will we meet a younger version of Scotty whose voice we heard in the alternate timeline? Strange New Worlds’ Chief of Engineering Lieutenant Hemmer (Bruce Horak) died in season 1 but will be replaced by Carol Kane’s Pelia not Scotty.
We get a crossover episode guest-starring Jack Quaid (The Boys) as Brad Boimler from the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks and directed by Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Jonathan Frakes .
Season 3:
Will Paul Wesley’s James T. Kirk be part of season 3?
Will we meet Strange New Worlds’ version of Scotty in season 3?
