J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies take place at the same time as Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, but do some of the show's characters exist in the alternate Kelvin Timeline? Abrams' Star Trek trilogy tells how a parallel reality version of James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) became Captain and assembled the crew of the USS Enterprise. Strange New Worlds and Abrams' Star Trek movies share several legacy characters, including Kirk, Mr. Spock, Uhura, and even Captain Christopher Pike, and Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness take place in 2258/2259 while Strange New Worlds season 1 begins in 2259.
The cast of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek are the younger versions of the USS Enterprise crew in Star Trek: The Original Series, as are many of the characters in Strange New Worlds. But the TV series invented many new characters as well, and it's possible or even likely that they also exist in the Star Trek movies' alternate reality. Of course, Strange New Worlds went into production over a decade after J.J. Abrams cast his first Star Trek movie released in 2009, but many of Strange New Worlds characters also have ties to the Enterprise crew in Abrams' Star Trek. Presuming the characters of Strange New Worlds also exist in the Star Trek movies' Kelvin timeline, here is where they could be.
