The trailer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 reveals that the Star Trek: Discovery spinoff is finally reverting to the much-loved Klingon design from Star Trek: The Next Generation's era. Strange New Worlds season 2 will premiere on June 15, 2023, with 10 episodes that will introduce Lt. James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) to the USS Enterprise and continue the adventures of Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and his crew. Judging by the trailer, SNW season 2 will retain the same balance of action-adventure, comedy, and romance as its predecessor, only this time with Klingons added to the mix.
The Klingons were name-checked in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1, episode 7, "The Serene Squall", when the pirates that captured the Enterprise crew threatened to sell them off to the Federation's greatest 23rd-century enemy. However, because of the drastic design change introduced in Star Trek: Discovery, it was never clear exactly what type of Klingons would appear in SNW. The Strange New Worlds season 2 trailer finally answers that question, by featuring the iconic design from both the Star Trek: The Original Series movies and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
