Final week, Paramount+ launched the primary trailer for the upcoming second season of Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds. As a result of this was a teaser, and since the present is episodic, the trailer provided all kinds of moments displaying the crew of the usEnterprise having completely different adventures. We now have pored over the trailer and pieced the large highlights collectively, including context together with some educated guesses.

Una units the stage

Even with the frantic tempo of fast moments in fast succession, there’s a little bit of a theme holding the trailer collectively, summarized in a voice-over from Una:

Within the thriller and vastness of area, we come collectively. So many crew members from so many planets, everybody on their very own journey.

Una’s trial

Season 1 ended on a little bit of a cliffhanger with Una “Quantity One” Chin-Riley arrested for hiding her genetically engineered previous as an Illyrian. The character seems again in uniform all through the trailer, so this subject probably will get resolved early on within the season. The one hints of this are a few photographs of a courtroom bell being rung, the identical variety utilized by Starfleet within the TOS episode “Courtroom Martial.”

DETAIL: In a single shot subsequent to the bell, a PADD shows Una’s “Categorized” Starfleet document.

Dwelling base

The Enterprise warps away from Starbase 1.

Klingons… and a jail break?

Unusual New Worlds is a spin-off from season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery, which up to date the completely different look of the Klingons featured within the first season. No Klingons have been seen since, neither in seasons 3 and 4 of Discovery nor within the first season of Unusual New Worlds. The hair, make-up, and costumes for the Klingons on this trailer is extra in keeping with conventional designs from the Subsequent Era period.

Later within the trailer, Captain Pike and La’an could be seen surveilling what appears to be like like a Klingon outpost, though it seems to function an emblem for Starfleet. This might probably be a jail holding Starfleet officers from the latest Klingon Warfare. The snowy circumstances might even reveal this to be Rura Penthe itself.

Later, there’s a shot of a Klingon D-7 battle cruiser. The up to date design for the basic TOS ship was first seen in season 2 of Discovery.

Kirk goes time touring with La’an

Paul Wesley appeared within the season one finale as James T. Kirk from a future alternate timeline, and he’s again in season 2. Wesley could be seen beaming onto the usEnterprise.

Kirk is greeted by Quantity One and La’an, and Kirk and La’an share a glance.

Quantity One notices, saying to La’an: “You will have an power.” When a flustered La’an says “What?” Una replies, “It’s making me sweat.” Season 1 ended with La’an taking go away for a private mission so it’s attainable she acquired to know Kirk between the 2 seasons.

The trailer wraps up with La’an and Kirk, displaying them in a Twenty first-century retail retailer (shot at a Roots retailer in Toronto). This reveals the season will function a while journey, one thing co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers hinted at a conference final 12 months.

La’an mocks Kirk, asking “By no means seen a revolving door earlier than?” to which he replies, “I’m from area.” It is a spin on Kirk’s remark in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Dwelling when he tells Dr. Gillian Taylor, “I’m from Iowa. I solely work in outer area.”

DETAIL: Within the Twenty first-century setting. Kirk is sporting a special badge, probably for the usFarragut. He additionally has captain’s rank (as he was sooner or later depicted within the season 1 finale); nevertheless on the time of season 2, he would probably nonetheless be a lieutenant.

Carol Kane is the brand new engineer

Academy Award nominee Carol Kane is becoming a member of Unusual New Worlds within the recurring function of Pelia, the ship’s new engineer, changing Hemmer who sacrificed himself in season 1. We get a glimpse of her within the trailer, first as she appears to be like over her shoulder, holding a PADD.

DETAIL: The PADD she is holding says “WARNING.”

Pelia doesn’t say something within the trailer, however she’s been described as “extremely educated and clever” and somebody who “suffers no fools. Pelia solves issues calmly and brusquely, due to her a few years of expertise.” Later within the trailer, Pelia shares amusing with Spock.

Once more with the Gorn

The Gorn have been recurring adversaries within the first season and the trailer exhibits they are going to be again in season 2. There’s a shot of La’an (or probably Una) face-to-face with one of many lizards.

Gorn ships may also be seen within the background across the saucer of a destroyed Starfleet ship.

Pike returns to Rigel VII

A clip launched final 12 months revealed a go to to Rigel VII, a planet Pike visited within the first TOS pilot “The Cage.” That clip confirmed Pike, La’an, and Dr. M’Benga having to take a shuttle right down to the planet in native costume. Points with the ambiance have been going to require “unbelievable talent” to pilot the shuttle, and the bit from the trailer exhibits them having bother.

The trio can later be seen touring on foot, nonetheless of their native garb.

Uhura visits a Shuttle crash

Later Uhura visits a shuttle crash in a area with indicators of civilization within the background, which might rule out Rigel VII.

Later within the trailer, a shuttle flies low over a inexperienced planet, which might be the identical shuttle from the crash.

More unusual worlds

The scene cuts to the ship spinning and reducing by way of an asteroid.

Reduce into the area photographs is Spock giving Ortagas a little bit of side-eye as she is having fun with herself—however notice Pike is not within the captain’s chair, so this part of the trailer is probably going taken from a special scene within the present.
