The official trailer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 has been released, and its full of adventure, fun, and danger, alongside blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments. Along with revealing the first footage of live-action Ensigns Bradward Boimler (Jack Quaid) and Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome) from Star Trek: Lower Decks, the trailer offers the first glimpse of Carol Kane as Chief Engineer Pelia and a portentous speech by Lieutenant James T Kirk (Paul Wesley) about facing death. The speech has added meaning because Pike previously came to terms with his own fate in the season 1 finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, inspiring him to take a professional interest in the young Kirk.

Beneath these blockbuster moments are some subtle references back to Star Trek canon, as well as some exciting hints as to what's to come for Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and the crew of the USS Enterprise.
