The trailer for the upcoming series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has arrived. The Star Trek universe is expanding even further with Strange New Worlds, which was created by Akiva Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman, and Jenny Lumet for Paramount+, the streaming service that is also home to Picard, Discovery, and the Star Trek animated series Lower Decks and Prodigy. The series is a spinoff featuring characters introduced in Star Trek: Discovery season 2, but it also functions as a prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series, following Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), the man who led the crew of the USS Enterprise before the famous Captain James T. Kirk.
The other characters who will be carrying over from Discovery are Rebecca Romijn as Number One and Ethan Peck as Spock. The rest of the Enterprise crew will be filled out by Babs Olusanmokun as doctor M'Benga, Jess Bush as Nurse Christine Chapel, Celia Rose Gooding as cadet Nyota Uhura (who, along with Spock, is a younger version of a character from TOS), and Bruce Horak as Aenar officer Hemmer. Christina Chong will also appear, playing La'an Noonien-Singh, who is a relative of one of the most iconic Star Trek villains of all, Khan Noonien Singh (originally played by Ricardo Montalbán, and then by Benedict Cumberbatch in the 2013 film Into Darkness).
