A new trailer for CBS’ "Star Trek: Discovery" Season 2 has been finally revealed from New York Comic-Con. There’s a lot to process here in the new footage, like a ton of action, the return of Michelle Yeoh‘s Philippa Georgiou, Doug Jones being a monster delight as always, and the big news of the first appearance of Ethan Peck (Madam Secretary) as a young Vulcan named Spock. The actor steps into a role made famous for 49 years by Leonard Nimoy and had been taken over by Zachary Quinto for three films.
Set a decade prior to the original, William Shatner-starring "Star Trek series Discovery Season 2 introduces Spock as the half-brother of Vulcan-raised Starfleet officer Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green). Season 2 will delve into the half-siblings’ visions of a strange anomaly called the “Red Angel.”
“As a child, I had the same vision again and again. Now I understand its meaning and where it must lead,” Peck’s Spock says in the trailer before getting zapped awake aboard the USS Discovery. With the addition of having a pretty fantastic beard now, which is incredibly un-Vulcan-like. (Unless the fabulous goatee on Mirror Universe Spock is counted.) Season 2 will also introduce a new captain, Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) as well as a new crew of Klingons.
The plot of "Star Trek: Discovery" is set in ten years before the events of "Star Trek: The Original Series." Based on the official synopsis for "Star Trek: Discovery" Season 2, the new will follow the voyages of Starfleet on their missions to discover new worlds and new life forms. The series features a new ship and new characters while embracing the same ideology and hope for the future that inspired a generation of dreamers and doers.
Check out the trailer below. "Star Trek: Discovery" Season 2, which also stars Anthony Rapp, Sonequa Martin-Green, Doug Jones, Rebecca Romijn, and Michelle Yeoh—returns to CBS All Access for season 2 on January 17, 2019.
