Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 – What We Know So Far

The entire cast from Season 1 of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” is expected to return, which includes Anson Mount as Captain Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Number One, Ethan Peck as Spock, Christina Cong as La’an Noonien Singh, Celia Rose Gooding as Nyota Uhura, Melissa Navia as Lt. Erica Ortegas, Jess Bush as Nurse Christine Chapel, and Babs Olusanmokun as Dr. Joseph M’Benga. While Bruce Horak’s Hemmer died in Season 1, co-executive producer Davy Perez alluded to his return as another character, telling The 7th Rule that “his [Horak’s] relationship with Trek is not over. We really love him. And Star Trek has a long tradition of reusing actors.”

Paul Wesley will return as Captain James T. Kirk, as is Spock’s betrothed, T’Pring (Gia Sandhu). There will also be new characters, with Noah Lamanna debuting as Chief Jay. Chief Jay could be replacing Chief Kyle (André Dae Kim) as transporter chief, or they could be transporter chief on a different ship. Adelaide Kane is also in at least one episode, but her role is largely unknown at this point. Another addition is two-time Emmy Award winner and Oscar-nominated legend Carol Kane. She will play the recurring role of Pelia, the new chief of engineering, who is described as “Highly educated and intelligent” and someone who “suffers no fools.”
