Phasers locked: Paramount+ releases official trailer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Capt. Christopher Pike (Anson Mount, center), Number One (Rebecca Romijn, left), and Spock (Ethan Peck, right) are getting their own prequel spinoff series: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, debuting May 5, 2022, on Paramount+.

Interplanetary adventures, political intrigue, and a spot of romance are in store for the crew of the USS Enterprise in the official trailer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The spinoff prequel series debuts on Paramount+ next month.

As we've reported previously, one of the highlights of Star Trek: Discovery's second season was the appearance of classic original series (TOS) characters Capt. Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), Number One (Rebecca Romijn), and Spock (Ethan Peck). All three reprise their roles for Strange New Worlds.

Babs Olusanmokun plays Dr. M'Benga; Celia Rose Gooding has the unenviable task of filling Nichelle Nichols' shoes as Cadet Nyota Uhura; Jess Bush plays Nurse Christine Chapel; Melissa Navai plays Lt. Erica Ortegas; Bruce Orak plays an Aenar named Hemmer who is blind in one eye (Aenar are an albino subspecies of Andorians that are generally depicted as blind); and Christina Chong plays La'An Noonien-Singh (a relation of the classic revenge-obsessed Star Trek villain Khan).
