According to Paramount+, “Strange New Worlds” is based on the years that Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise. In addition to Mount, other actors reprising their roles from “Star Trek: Discovery” include Rebecca Romijn as Number One and Ethan Peck as Science Officer Spock.
“The series will follow Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock and Number One in the years before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy,” reads the official synopsis.
As the synopsis indicates, Wesley’s Kirk won’t be arriving until the show’s second season, with production currently underway in Toronto.
