Star Trek's Upcoming Crossover Is Even More Exciting Knowing 1 BTS Detail
There's one particular behind-the-scenes detail that makes Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' upcoming crossover withStar Trek: Lower Decks even more exciting. San Diego Comic Con 2022's Star Trek Universe Hall H panel confirmed that Captain Christopher Pike's (Anson Mount) Starship Enterprise will meet the Lower Deckers of the USS Cerritos, and it will feature a combination of live-action and animation with Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid coming aboard the Enterprise in live-action as Ensigns Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler!
The hows and whys of the Cerritos meeting the Enterprise are being kept under wraps. Besides breaking the wall between animation and live-action,Strange New Worlds andLower Decks take place 120 years apart. Pike's Enterprise is in the middle of a historic five-year mission in the 23rd century of Star Trek: The Original Series. Meanwhile, the Cerritos' not-quite-as-historic Second Contact missions take place in the late 24th century. As Star Trek: Lower Decks enters season 3, Captain Carol Freeman (Dawnn Lewis) is under arrest by Starfleet, accused of conspiring to blow up Pakled planet. Mariner must recruit Boimler and her fellow Lower Deckers to save Freeman, who is also her mother. Meanwhile, Strange New Worldsseason 2 has wrapped production and won't premiere until 2023 so the season 3 adventures of Lower Decks will be long over by the time Pike and the Enterprise crew return, with Lt. James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) joiningStrange New Worlds.
