Erica Ortegas, and Babs Olusanmokun as Dr. M’Benga.
Season two will also see the return of special guest star Paul Wesley as James T. Kirk, along with new addition Carol Kane in a recurring role as Pelia.
The series follows Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock, and Number One in their explorations of new worlds across the galaxy, in the years preceding Captain Kirk’s tenure on the U.S.S. Enterprise.
Season two of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is produced by CBS Studios, Secret Hideout, and Roddenberry Entertainment, with Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers serving as co-showrunners. The executive producers include Alex Kurtzman, Akiva Goldsman, Jenny Lumet, Henry Alonso Myers, Aaron Baiers, Heather Kadin, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Rod Roddenberry, and Trevor Roth.
