Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2: Boimler! Pelia! Human Spock?

With the next chapter this week, we have a new trailer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 that's definitely worth checking out.

With S02E02 "Ad Astra Per Aspera" ready to hit screens tomorrow, today seems about as good of a day as any to drop a new look at what's ahead with Paramount+'s Anson Mount (Pike), Rebecca Romijn (Una Chin-Riley) & Ethan Peck (Spock)-starring Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. And that's exactly what the streaming service dropped earlier today – and there's a lot to unpack in what you're about to see. We've got an appearance from Jack Quaid's Boimler (from "Lower Decks), more of Carol Kane's Pelia (never a bad thing), and… human Spock?!? If that's not enough to sell you on the newest trailer, then I don't know what is…

Here's a look at what's ahead for the second season of Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – followed by a rundown of what we know about the season's second chapter:

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S02E02 "Ad Astra Per Aspera" Preview

With two (that's right, two) sneak previews for S02E02 "Ad Astra Per Aspera" having already been released, we know that this week's chapter will be going the "Law & Order" route. Commander Una (Romijn) is confronted with the charges against them as some familiar faces take the stand – and Pike looks for something that will give them the upper hand. And now, we have a look back at the preview images that were released earlier this week – followed by a look back at the previews we just mentioned:

In the clip below for S02E02 "Ad Astra Per Aspera" (beginning at the 29:00 mark) from Wil Wheaton's The Ready Room podcast, Pike (Mount) looks to lock down some legal firepower for Commander Una (Romijn), and he's willing to wait if he has to – just as long as he can keep breathing long enough. Following that, make sure to check out the  previously-released preview for the next chapter:

In season two of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, under the command of Captain Christopher Pike, confronts increasingly dangerous stakes, explores uncharted territories and encounters new life and civilizations. The crew will also embark on personal journeys that will continue to test their resolve and redefine their destinies. Facing friends and enemies both new and familiar, their adventures will unfold in surprising ways never seen before on any "Star Trek" series.

Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is based on the years that Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise, following Pike, Science Officer Spock (Ethan Peck), and Number One (Rebecca Romijn) during the years before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise as they explore new worlds around the galaxy. The streaming series also stars Jess Bush as Nurse Christine Chapel, Christina Chong as La'an Noonien-Singh, Celia Rose Gooding as Cadet Nyota Uhura, Melissa Navia as Lt. Erica Ortegas, and Babs Olusanmokun as Dr. M'Benga. The second season will also feature the return of special guest star Paul Wesley as James T. Kirk and new addition Carol Kane in a recurring role as Pelia. In addition, Jack Quaid (Boimler) & Tawny Newsome (Mariner) from "Lower Decks" will be crossing over in a live-action way this season (reportedly in the seventh episode), directed by none other than Jonathan Frakes.

Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 is produced by CBS Studios, Secret Hideout, and Roddenberry Entertainment. Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers serve as co-showrunners. Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman, and Jenny Lumet serve as executive producers in addition to Alonso Myers, Aaron Baiers, Heather Kadin, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Rod Roddenberry, and Trevor Roth.
