Following on from last week’s huge season premiere the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise has quite a conundrum to deal with in this week’s brand new episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. “Ad Astra Per Aspera” picks up the lingering plot threads around Una’s (Rebecca Romijn) arrest and takes the series in to new territory as a courtroom drama.
The episode, which streams Thursday on Paramount+, was written by Dana Horgan, and directed by Valerie Weiss. Here’s a sneaky peek at the synopsis:
Commander Una faces court-martial along with possible imprisonment and dishonorable dismissal from Starfleet, and her defense is in the hands of a lawyer who’s also a childhood friend with whom she had a terrible falling out.
We’ve got a handful of brand new stills which you can check out in the gallery below:
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds stars Anson Mount as Captain Pike, Rebecca Romjin as Number One and Ethan Peck as Spock. Joining them are Jess Bush as Nurse Christine Chapel, Christina Chong as La’an Noonien-Singh, Celia Rose Gooding as Cadet Nyota Uhura, Melissa Navia as Lt. Erica Ortegas, Babs Olusanmokun as Dr. M’Benga and Bruce Horak as Hemmer.
New episodes of Strange New Worlds premiere Thursdays via Paramount+ in the US and UK.
