Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Is "Everything and Then Some": O'Connell
With now only a little more than a month to go until Paramount+'s Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn & Ethan Peck-starring Star Trek: Strange New Worlds hits streaming screens (which means "official trailer watch" is in full-on mode), viewers who've been eagerly awaiting the series are hearing from a familiar face from the the "Star Trek" franchise. Or should we say, familiar voice? Jerry O'Connell aka the voice of First Officer Jack Ransom on Star Trek: Lower Decks posted on both Twitter and Instagram to let everyone know he's seen the first two episodes "It is everything and then some. Cannot stop thinking about it. So proud to be married to #1," O'Connell wrote in the captions to his posts (repeating that he can't stop thinking about the show in his tweet).
Here's a look at O'Connell's posts offering his ringing endorsement of the first two episodes and throwing some serious love & pride Romijn's way:
