'Star Trek: Lower Decks' Mariner And Boimler Meet Their Heroes In 'Strange New Worlds' Official Season 2 Trailer

 


Who's ready for a crossover? On Doug Jones's birthday, and after several reported TV spots on international linear homes, Paramount+ released the full trailer for season two of original series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

This season, Captain Christopher Pike (played by Anson Mount)'s U.S.S. Enterprise crew continues its journey through space, confronting increasingly dangerous stakes in uncharted territories and encountering new life and civilizations. All that while venturing through personal journeys that will continue to test their resolve and redefine their destinies where no destiny had gone before. 


Speaking of unexplored territory, this season will see the unusual cross-medium crossover, as Lower Decks USS Cerritos ensigns Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler, voiced by Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid will beam aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise reprising the roles in live action. The episode is directed by Jonathan Frakes.  There will also be an animated portion set in Lower Decks's era that will bring at least some of Strange New Worlds's characters into it so it's not so one-sided. And according to Quaid, Boimler will get to do his signature scream while there. While Boimler and Spock, played by Ethan Peck, have an awkward exchange. Spock's drinking romp with Klingons is shown again, he makes out with Nurse Christine Chapel, played by Jess Bush and even takes the captain’s chair at some point.

There are also scenes of Paul Wesley as James T. Kirk hanging with Uhura as their friendship builds and on the run with Carol Kane's new engineer character Pelia. In addition to Mount as Pike, Peck as Spock, Chapel as Bush, and Celia Rose Gooding as Uhura, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds stars Rebecca Romijn as Una Chin-Riley, Christina Chong as La’An Noonien-Singh, Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas and Babs Olusanmokun as Joseph M’Benga. Season 2 premieres June 15 on Paramount+.
