Season 2 of Strange New Worlds,
it just amps up everything a thousand times more.
Season 2 is more.
We just did more.
We did bigger.
We did more bigger.
Now, hold on to your saddles.
At the beginning of Season 2,
the crew of the Enterprise are sort of split asunder.
Una is in prison, awaiting her trial.
She got sent to prison at the end of Season 1
for lying to Starfleet about being an Illyrian.
Initially, and it said in Season 1
that if Una's identity as an Illyrian ever came up,
that Pike welcomed that conversation with Starfleet brass.
Unfortunately, he's found that it's going to be a trial
and so he's left in a lurch
and has to employ every trick in the book
to try to get her out of the situation.
Last season, in Episode 9,
La'An takes Ariana off to go and help her find her family.
In Season 2, we pick up on this incredible planet,
and I can't say, 'cause I'm gonna give it away.
M'benga, he's trying to help Spock solve some issues.
Some, perhaps, human issues he may be having.
He's really in conflict with his human and Vulcan sides.
So, he's trying to work out
how human to be, and how useful it is to be
more human than he has been previously.
Where we pick up with Chapel
is pretty much straight after Episode 9
where Chapel and Spock have
quite an intimate moment in the corridor.
They kind of start Season 2
in a bit of a complicated place
where it's very evident that they both have feelings,
but no one really wants to do anything about it,
and drama ensues.
So, we pick up with Nyota Uhura right after Season 1.
She is still getting comfortable on the Enterprise
but she definitely has a few more
incredible experiences under her belt,
and she's just really excited to continue her journey here.
What I see from the fans is that they want more Ortegas,
and at the top of Season 2
that's what they're gonna get.
The crew is gonna face
a whole bunch of new journeys this year.
And we're gonna do something in Season 2
that's never been done in any Star Trek show before.
When they first pitched the idea
and said we're gonna do a crossover episode
with Lower Decks,
I was like, "That's brilliant."
I'll never forget it.
It was an amazing episode to film.
We are delighted to be able to offer up
another set of varying tones,
another set of varying story structures,
and deepening and evolving character stories.
I would like the ship to go.
Now.
