Before we jump into the trailer, you might want to hear about the FIRST Captain of the USS Enterprise!
While Strange New Worlds may be following the adventures of Captain Christopher Pike,
the second Captain of the Enterprise, it seems we’ll touch on the first Captain of the legendary starship, Robert April.
April previously commanded the Enterprise as the ship's first Captain. In the upcoming Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, he’ll be played by Adrian Holmes.
It was previously said that Holmes would be playing a recurring character in the upcoming series, now it makes even more sense.
We can actually hear his voice in the trailer I think. It appears since his captaincy of the Enterprise, April is now an Admiral according to IGN.
Okay, onto the main trailer!
So, we’ve got a brand new trailer for Strange New Worlds. Specifically what is actually coming up in the first season.
Of course, we’ve already had the main trailer, but for now, we’ve got a better look at what is coming up with the USS Enterprise and her new crew.
The new trailer opens with the Enterprise in space. Onboard, Captain Christopher Pike seems to be officiating a wedding between two officers in some sort of cargo bay.
Obviously, no weddings can go to plan, and Pike is called to the bridge by Mr Spock. The crisis of the week you might wonder? A comet appears on course to impact a planet.
These clips would be from Episode Two of Strange New Worlds, which will be called Children of the Comet.
Thanks to TV Fantastic for confirming the episode titles and loglines, we’re aware that this episode will see an Ancient Alien Relic Thwarting the crew's attempts to re-route a comet.
Pike’s command style is shown off, as he refers to getting the job done before breakfast.
While this is said, we’ve got a great view of some of the crew on the bridge. Such as Mr. Spock, Uhura, Number One, Ortegas, and Hemmer who is hanging around in the background.
While the Enterprise warps in, we’ve got this fantastic “Suit up” scene with La’an.
The crew can be seen getting into EVA suits and arming themselves with phasers. Likely this is them preparing to go and investigate the comet which contains the ancient alien relic.
Montage scenes show the crew investigating the comet's surface.
La’an makes a comment about someone floating off into space.
This might refer to earlier scenes in other trailers.
We’ve previously seen a character, likely Uhura, losing control in Zero-G.
Captain Pike can be seen in his quarters, or perhaps Ready Room, seemingly struggling with the events of the past.
He is spoken to by Numer One, who also seems to understand that he has had a vision of the future. Spock might also be aware of this as well.
It will be really interesting to see how this future vision impacts Pike’s command ability.
Don’t forget that we do see a disheveled Pike in the other trailers for Strange New Worlds. Perhaps Discovery’s adventures and his vision of the future have impacted him more than people think.
Though Number One does say to Chris that maybe his fate is not written? Of course, we know it is, but he does not as a character.
A few montage shorts on-screen confirm that the Enterprise is under attack from an unknown vessel.
Presuming this episode might be Episode 4 of Season One, Memento Mori, then this could be a Gorn Starship. Thanks to sources, we’ve confirmed that The Gorn will be appearing in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
It’s understood that La’an is a survivor of a Gorn attack, as she barely survived a battle and instructs Captain Pike that the usual tactics won’t work.
We also see Nurse Chapel wandering around what appears to be a crashed starship of sorts.
Perhaps this is the same episode we see with the crashed Constitution-class starship on the ice world.
Additional montage shots show the crew beaming down to some sort of abandoned warehouse.
Thugs can be seen beating up Captain Pike or at least ruffing him up slightly. We’ve also got Spock giving Uhura a pep talk and this looks in relation to the Comet Episode, which might have a more dedicated focus on her as a character.
More shots can be seen of this mysterious ice-world. Two Starfleet Shuttles have landed on this planet and crews appear to be in away team gear going to investigate.
We’ve got Nurse Chapel leading the crew up front and a few other officers. La’an also investigates what appear to be bodies on the ground. I’m certain this is from Episode 4 and is to do with the Gorn.
An unknown character who has appeared in the trailers here and there says “What the hell did this”. Evidently alluding to our unknown aggressor.
While La’an hails the bridge and informs them to raise the shields, we can also see Pike now wearing one of the Starship Memorial Badges.
These were seen on display at the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds exhibit at Mission Chicago.
With the shields raised, an unknown vessel attacks The Enterprise.
Montage shots can be seen of the crew running around and doing tasks, all while the ship is rocked about.
Chapel is chasing someone up a corridor, perhaps a survivor from the Gorn attacks or one of the other crashed ships?
We can’t seem to identify his species right now, though he does appear similar to the ones in the leaked set pictures from about a year ago.
More montage shots show Cities on planets, Number One about to beam up with her away team, and mysterious energy moving through a starship.
Both Spock and Pike can be seen attempting to hide from whatever this is. It might be the case that this clip is from Episode 3, Ghosts of Illyria, which sees a focus on Una aka Number One. It’s a virus episode.
Spock can be seen on Vulcan, apparently battling himself it would seem. This is likely flashbacks or some sort of dream sequence.
As Trek Central originally reported, we do know that Gia Sandu will play T’Pring, Spock’s wife. This appears to be Episode 5, which is called “Spock Amok”, and is described as releasing the pressure valve of the series.
Episode 5 appears to touch on Spock’s love life in more detail than some might want.
Additionally, we apparently learn more about Vulcan mating rituals, as well as see Pike negotiating some sort of difficult alien species into joining the Federation. Perhaps this is the medieval species or people we see in the trailer?
At around One Minute, Nine seconds, in the trailer, we can see a mysterious starship that looks like a Solar Sailer.
These types of ships have been seen in Star Trek before, notable in Deep Space Nine. What it is doing in this episode remains to be seen. Perhaps it’s not a solar sail, more some other funky alien device.
If I had to bet money, It would not surprise me if this was related to the comment episode.
Now moving on, we see more scenes of Pike wearing his starship memorial badge, which I am guessing might be for the USS Discovery, but I can’t get a good look at it.
Troy, enhance!
Chief Engineer Hemmer has a fantastic scene in wear he celebrates the world of science.
This is while the crew is dressed in these renaissance outfits. I’m honestly looking forward to this episode, simply as it appears to be one of those random Star Trek episodes that you wonder how we got here. Maybe this is what we need in modern Star Trek?
More montage shots are seen, featuring Number One, Doctor M’benga, and mysterious energy stuff once again.
Pike can be seen embracing M’Benga, perhaps the two actually know each other more than we are aware of. The crew, specifically Uhura, can be seen having dinner in Pike’s quarters.
Space battles, asteroids exploring and the crew running around. Honestly, the series is looking epic right now. The trailer ends with Captain Pike turning around and saying Let’s Get To Work, as the credits appear on-screen.
So yes, that is the Season One trailer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
This was shown in The Ready Room episode for the first episode. It does appear that perhaps this was released earlier online as intended, but at this point, the trailer is all around the web right now.
The trailer really builds up hype for the upcoming series. Strange New Worlds is beaming down on May 5th and the New York City Premiere just happens at the weekend.
Lots of reviews are currently circulating online regarding this right now. The general consensus appears to favor the series rather well, which is good news in my opinion.
Sadly there are NO International Streaming details as of yet. Paramount has once again neglected to communicate with the Star Trek fandom about how the rest of the world is actually going to watch the new Star Trek series.
Alex Kurtzman, head Producer for all things Star Trek at Paramount recently commented by saying he and his team have no control over what the Paramount Corporation decides to do.
Hopefully, we might get some details on the International Rollout of Paramount Plus sometime soon, but right now it appears that once again International Star Trek fans are being treated like second-class fans as some have called it before.
So what did you think of the Season trailer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds? Are you hyped up for the upcoming season, or are you still on the fence about what we might expect?
