First season of Star Trek: A Strange New World is a masterpiece that combines elements of nostalgia Star Trek: The Original Series and modern techniques that are a pleasant surprise for fans of all ages. It was very well received by critics and audiences alike, mainly due to its excellent cast, and in many ways, it’s a return to what fans loved most of the original series. Season 2 is coming out soon, and we hope it will maintain the excellent quality from the first season. This is another chance for us to see what the Enterprise was up to before Kirk and the other great sagas in the Federation’s quest to explore the galaxy. Now without further ado, let’s get into everything we know so far Star Trek: A Strange New World Season 2.

Watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Trailer
Ahead of the official trailer, we can see two leaks for this season. The first trailer features Lieutenant Erica Ortegas (played by Melissa Navia) on his way to an away mission. It seems the crew’s tempo barely changed despite Number One Una Chin-Riley (played by Rebecca Romijn) is no longer with the crew. We also have more pithy wordplay with Spock as he continues to develop his ability to interact more naturally with others.
The second trailer is more of a behind the scenes look. In the previous series, like Star Trek: The Next Generation, we often see relaxing places for the crew to relax around the ship. The showrunners found the dining room we saw in season one too sparse and have introduced a new area for the ship. Video feature Will Wheatonpreviously TNG Wesley Crusher, and production designer Jonathan Lee showing off impressive new set pieces. It looks somewhat familiar to Ten Forward and has a modernized 1960s look. The new set is supposed to feature more intimate conversations between characters and include lots of Easter eggs. One that Will Wheaton immediately picked up was Saurian Brandy from Star Trek: Picard. We see Guinan and Picard drinking it from similar bottles Picard Season 2 Episode 1 “Star Shepherd”.
The first trailer for Strange New World Season 2 was released on April 19, 2023. The roughly two-minute trailer serves as a teaser for the upcoming show. Look here:
Recently, we got the official trailer for Star Trek: A Strange New World Season 2 on May 24. The new trailer showcases more of the action to come, and gives us a proper first look at the series’ upcoming crossover with another. Star Trek show.

Who Are the Cast and Characters of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2?
Most of the cast from previous seasons returned, which was to be expected given the state of the show remaining. Given the events of last season, Enterprise will need a new chief engineer. The newcomer to the company will be played by the icon Carol Kane. Kane is best known for his roles in TV series Taxi And Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt as well as various film roles, usually playing more comedic motherly characters. It looks like he’ll be an earnest engineer this time around, but maybe we’ll get to see some of that comedic side as well.
Full list of main cast in Star Trek: A Strange New World Season 2 included Mount Anson as Christopher Pike, Ethan Peck as Spock, Jess Bush as Christine Chapel, Christina Chong as La’an Noonien-Singh, Celia Rose Gooding as Mrs Uhura, Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas, Babs Olusanmokun as Joseph M’Benga, Rebecca Romijn as Una Chin-Riley / Number One, and Carol Kane as Pelia, among others.
What Do We Know About Star Trek: Strange Stories New Worlds Season 2 (And Crossover Episodes)?
One of the main storylines that we get to see is what really happened to Number One. One of the highlights of the first season is finding out that he was genetically engineered (one of the recurring issues in Star Trek with characters like Deep Space Nine‘S Dr. Bashier) and that he has been removed from his position at the Enterprise. Captain Pike and the rest of the crew are definitely backing him up, but with his position unfilled, someone has to step in to take his place temporarily.
We also have the first occurrence in the Star Trek Universe, a joint crossover episode with the animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks. Newsome chocolate (who plays Ensign Beckett Mariner in the animated show) and Jack Quadid (who co-stars with Newsome as Ensign Brad Boimler) will make their live-action debut during the new season Strange New World. Given that Mariner and Boimler both come from a much closer timeline to that Star Trek: The Next Generation, we definitely have more than a few questions. So far, we know that the series will mix animated and live-action scenes. The episode will be directed by Star Trek veteran Jonathan Frakes.
What’s the Future of Star Trek: Strange New World?
With characters like Paul Wesley‘S Captain Kirk appears in Season 2, certainly there’s a lot of potential for Season 3. And clearly, Paramount+ has taken note, as confirmed. Strange New World will be getting Season 3. The show has a lot of storylines left to explore and has proven to be one of the more successful shows in the franchise, so this isn’t much of a surprise. From the tension between Spock and the Chapel of Nurses to Uhura’s hesitation to continue Starfleet, not to mention La’an’s dark past, there’s a lot to unpack in this incredible show.
