Star Trek’s New Spock Revealed in Discovery Season 2 Trailer at NYCC
A new trailer for season 2 of Star Trek Discovery debuted at New York Comic-Con this weekend, offering a first look at Ethan Peck as Spock and promising a universe full of new adventures. The panel also confirmed that the show is set to return to CBS All Access in January 2019.
Starring Sonequa Martin-Green as disgraced Starfleet officer Michael Burnham, Star Trek Discovery premiered last year on CBS before moving exclusively to CBS All Access, to encourage fans to sign up for the streaming platform. Season 1 was a wild ride, featuring a giant space tardigrade, the Mirror Dimension, and a major character twist. It also ended on a tantalizing cliffhanger, with the Discovery receiving a distress signal from none other than Captain Christopher Pike of the USS Enterprise.
Anson Mount (Inhumans) joins Star Trek Discovery season 2 as Captain Pike, while Michael's adoptive brother Spock will be played by Ethan Peck (The Honor List). Given that both of these characters have a long history in the Star Trek franchise, fans have been eager to see Discovery's take on Pike and Spock - and now they finally can. Also revealed in the trailer is Rebecca Romijn (X-Men) as Number One, telling Pike to "be careful." Check out the trailer for Star Trek Discovery season 2 below:
In addition to revealing Spock in the trailer, CBS also shared an official photo of Peck's character:
There were plenty of interesting reveals during the Star Trek Discovery panel at NYCC, including the tidbit that the home planet of Saru's (Doug Jones) species, the Kelpians, is called Kaminar. The crew will visit Kaminar in season 2, and we'll get to meet Saru's sister, Sarana. Saru had a complicated relationship with Michael in season 1 - acting coldly towards her after her act of mutiny, but eventually warming to her again and growing to respect her strong moral compass. The season 2 trailer indicates that Saru and Michael will grow even closer in a clip where Michael holds Saru's hand and tells him, "You are my family."
The trailer also sets up a season 2 arc related to Spock and Michael having visions of a "Red Angel," which is apparently the "biggest mystery of the season" and "appears to Burnham at a very critical moment." The Red Angel may be connected to the seven signals mentioned in the trailer, but Martin-Green and Peck stayed tight-lipped when asked for more clues about what these mean. Color us intrigued...
