Somehow MCM Comic Con London already feels like weeks go. This May event brought with it a groundbreaking holographic panel featuring members of the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as they teased the upcoming second season. Now, Paramount+ has dropped a behind-the-scenes video showing how the panel was put together across continents and time zones.
Season two will premiere Thursday, June 15 on Paramount+ in the U.S, the U.K., Australia, Latin America, Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Following the premiere, new episodes of the 10-episode season will drop weekly on Thursdays.
The new season includes the previously announced special crossover episode featuring both live-action and animation, with Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Tawny Newsome as Ensign Beckett Mariner and Jack Quaid as Ensign Brad Boimler joining the U.S.S. Enterprise. The episode was directed by Trek legend Jonathan Frakes. We get our first glimpse of the pair in the trailer as well as in a brand new official still revealing their live-action look.
