CBS All Access just released the official trailer for season two of the critically acclaimed science fiction series, Star Trek: Discovery. The official two-minute trailer begins with Spock saying, “There is a great responsibility at hand. This could be the defining moment for multiple civilizations, millions of lives. The future may be determined by our actions – yours and mine.”
In response, Commander Michael Burnham says, “We’re really on the other side of the looking glass now, aren’t we?”
The cast of season two is led by Sonequa Martin-Green (Commander Michael Burnham) and includes Michelle Yeoh (Philippa Georgiou), Doug Jones (Commander Saru), Shazad Latif (Ash Tyler), Anson Mount (Captain Christopher Pike), Anthony Rapp (Lt. Commander Paul Stamets), Mary Wiseman (Ensign Sylvia Tilly), Wilson Cruz (Dr. Hugh Culber), Mary Chieffo (L’Rell), and Ethan Peck (Spock).
Season two’s episode order was just increased from 13 to 14 episodes. CBS All Access’ Star Trek: Discovery season two is set to premiere on Thursday, January 17, 2018 at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT.
The Season 2 Plot:
After answering a distress signal from the U.S.S. Enterprise, season two of Star Trek: Discovery finds the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery joining forces with Captain Christopher Pike on a new mission to investigate seven mysterious red signals and the appearance of an unknown being called the Red Angel. While the crew must work together to unravel their meaning and origin, Michael Burnham is forced to face her past with the return of her estranged brother, Spock.
A Look Back at Season 1:
Star Trek: Discovery follows the voyages of Starfleet on their missions to discover new worlds and new life forms, and one Starfleet officer who must learn that to truly understand all things alien, you must first understand yourself. 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.
