Reaching for the celebs —
“Our first take a look at with from the celebs is continually the province of [sci-fi]—till in some unspecified time in the future it is not in truth.”
Anson Mount stars as USS Enterprise Capt. Christopher Pike in Superstar Whisk: Fresh Fresh Worlds.
Two predominant science fiction franchises went head-to-head this present day by losing excessive-profile teasers. First, Disney+ dropped the indispensable teaser for Obi-Wan Kenobi, the latest spinoff sequence in the Superstar Wars universe. No longer to be outdone, Paramount+ has launched the indispensable teaser for Superstar Whisk: Fresh Fresh Worlds, the latest spinoff sequence in the Superstar Whisk franchise that serves as a prequel to The Customary Series.
As now we bask in reported previously, undoubtedly one of many highlights of Superstar Whisk: Discovery‘s second season used to be the appearance of classic Customary Series (TOS) characters Capt. Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), Amount One (Rebecca Romijn), and Spock (Ethan Peck). The actors reprise their roles in Superstar Whisk: Fresh Fresh Worlds, created by Alex Kurtzman, Akiva Goldsman, and Jenny Lumet. Assign in the last decade sooner than TOS, Pike and his crew will navigate the USS Enterprise during the galaxy, exploring new worlds along the model.
The cloak’s executive producers and key cast participants were readily available remaining month for a virtual panel dialogue as section of the 2022 Iciness Tv Critics Affiliation (TCA) assembly. To boot to unveiling the poster art, Goldsman confirmed that Fresh Fresh Worlds will return to the episodic constructing of classic Superstar Whisk—making it a uncommon beast in this skills of serialized storytelling and streaming platforms—and could presumably presumably appreciate existing canon.
To boot to Mount, Romijn, and Peck, Babs Olusanmokun performs Dr. M’Benga; Celia Rose Gooding has the unenviable assignment of filling Nichelle Nichols’ footwear as Cadet Nyota Uhura; Jess Bush performs Nurse Christine Chapel; Melissa Navai performs Lt. Erica Ortegas; Bruce Orak performs an Aenar named Hemmer who’s blind in a single uncover about (Aenar are an albino subspecies of Andorians which could presumably presumably be in total depicted as blind); and Christina Chong performs La’An Noonien-Singh. The latter character is outwardly related to the classic revenge-obsessed Superstar Whisk villain Khan, per Goldsman, even supposing we impact not bask in any specifics but on what that connection can be.

This new teaser opens on a ranch in winter, with a bearded Pike on horseback, presumably in retirement. (That is per the TOS episode “The Cage,” the place we first meet Pike as he’s debating retiring from Starfleet.) Then a diminutive spacecraft zooms past as we hear a explain calling Pike support to circulation.
Several intelligent scenes of the titular abnormal new worlds flash by as we hear Romijn’s Amount One (who now has a reputation: Una Chin-Riley) in a voiceover: “No topic what number of stars there are in the sky; irrespective of what number of galaxies swirl past our bask in; irrespective of what the mathematical prospects or the selection of situations we’re pronouncing ‘We’re not alone in the universe’; our first take a look at with from the celebs is continually the province of children’s tales and science fiction—till in some unspecified time in the future it is not in truth.” We’re furious to hunt more.
Superstar Whisk: Fresh Fresh Worlds debuts on Paramount+ on Could well per chance simply 5, 2022.
