... Excerpts from Strange New Worlds Season 2 Is Beaming Up New Cast Members:


Remember Season One's unforgettable fantasy episode? According to Chong, "that will be topped" in this genre-hopping Season Two. Mount has his own genre wish list for Strange New Worlds, telling attendees at Wales Comic-Con, "I want to do a Western… I was also thinking that I’d love to do an Agatha Christie whodunit with Spock as the logical detective and Pike is the sort of ‘out of left field’ detective, or vice-versa."


Mount's comment about a "monster" could be telling; the Gorn, Season One's big monster, seems poised for a return, with Myers teasing that Season Two will "carry through on the promises we made in Season One," Gorn-wise.


The future looks dark for Number One, who in the final cliffhanger of Season One was arrested for concealing her genetic modifications from Starfleet. No doubt Season Two will involve Pike & co.'s quest to free Number One; her trial could also have major implications for the future of genetic engineering in Starfleet.


As for everyone's favorite Vulcan science officer, if Season One's body swap episode was one of your favorites, buckle up for more. "Spock gets to really start to explore his human side and it leads to a lot of funny hijinks," Peck told TV Insider. "So I’m really excited about bringing that comedic element to Spock." He went on to explain that all roads lead to the original Spock we know and love: "You’ll see Spock explore his human side more in a way that will ultimately affect his more immediate relationships in a fun and interesting way…


Olusanmokun also confirmed his future with the show, saying that Season Two will explore “a darker side” of his character, including “his contentious relationship with the Klingons.”


Navia confirmed the return of Ortegas, speaking to CinemaBlend about what lies ahead for her character. "In Season Two, we’re going to see more about her background, and we’re going to see more about just how important flying the ship is," she said. "I know fans want to see more, and I’m just like, ‘Just have a little bit of patience. It’s coming!’"


In addition to familiar favorites, we'll also be getting some new characters. At Star Trek Day, Rebecca Romijn announced that comedy veteran Carol Kane will join the cast as Chief Engineer Pelia, who's brought on board to replace the late Chief Engineer Hemmer. According to Trek Central, we're getting two additional newbies in Noah Lamanna and Adelaide Kane, whose roles are still largely under wraps. But we do know one thing: Lamanna will play a character named "Chief Jay," which could mean plenty of things. Has Chief Kyle departed his post as transporter chief, and Chief Jay has arrived to replace him? Or could Chief Jay have an assignment on the USS Farragut, currently captained by James T. Kirk? As for Adelaide Kane, nothing is known about her role, but it stands to reason that she, too, is as likely to serve aboard the Farragut as she is the Enterprise.


Along with Angel comes another villain: Sybok, Angel’s lover and Spock’s estranged half-brother, whose unexpected comeback in Strange New Worlds made major waves with Star Trek fans. Viewers saw only the back of Sybok’s head, but Myers confirms we haven’t seen the last of him. “When and if we see Sybok again, we will see his face, absolutely,” he promised. Though some fans may have groaned at Sybok’s shocking return, given that the character originates from the long-derided Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, no doubt Myers and his fellow producers brought Sybok back for more than just a cameo.


It wouldn't be too out of left field for iconic baddie Khan to appear, given that he's a relative of La'an. But Goldsman isn't letting anything slip; when asked about the possibility of a Khan cameo, he said, "The Paramount rep on the line has an electric staple in my tongue, and I give a wrong word—well, that’s bad for me."


“Yes, we’ll see more Kirk in Season Two, but he’s not this 2266 Kirk,” Myers told Inverse. “We will be meeting some new legacy characters next season. I feel like I gotta keep it a little bit of a secret right now.”


Though Pike and Kirk made their first collision in the Season One finale, no doubt it's just the first we'll see of their encounters as colleagues and friends.


And what of Kirk's legendary friendship with another Starfleet officer, Spock? Fans of The Original Series know that this bromance will be the defining relationship of each officer's life. What's to come in Season Two seems promising, because the sparks are already flying.


At Comic-Con back in July, we learned that Season Two of Strange New Worlds will have a crossover episode with Star Trek: Lower Decks, the beloved animated series about Starfleet grunts serving on a starship of little renown.
