Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1 has just come to an end in the US, and while the episodes may still be airing weekly here in the UK, fans are already looking ahead to when they can see more of Captain Pike, Spock and the rest of the USS Enterprise Crew.<\/p>\n

The prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series and spin-off to Star Trek: Discovery<\/a> has been a hit with fans, giving us new origins for beloved characters and taking the franchise back to its episodic routes.<\/p>\n

However, after a barnstorming finale which saw Captain Pike visited by his future self, just when will we catch up with these characters next, and is a second season on the cards?<\/p>\n

Read on for everything you need to know about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2.<\/p>\n

It has \u2013 and thankfully for the show\u2019s fans we hopefully shouldn\u2019t have too long to wait before we can see it.<\/p>\n

The series was renewed for a second season before the first even debuted, with confirmation coming in January<\/a> alongside renewals for Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Lower Decks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When will Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 be released?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Filming on the second season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds began in February of this year and wrapped in early July, meaning that fans should be able to see it sooner rather than later, hopefully towards the start of 2023.<\/p>\n

With Paramount Plus<\/a> now launched in the UK, there may also be less of a delay for British viewers when compared with those stateside \u2013 season 1 debuted in America on 5th May, but wasn\u2019t available here until 22nd June. Hopefully that delay can be shortened for season 2.<\/p>\n

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds cast \u2013 who will be back for season 2?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We don\u2019t yet have a full confirmed cast list for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, but we do know Anson Mount will be back as Captain Pike, while another classic Star Trek character has been newly cast for season 2<\/a> \u2013 James T Kirk.<\/p>\n

He will be played by Paul Wesley (The Vampire Diaries<\/a>), with executive producer Alex Kurtzman and showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers saying in a statement: \u201cPaul is an accomplished actor, an astonishing presence and a welcome key addition to the show. Like all of us, he is a life-long Star Trek fan and we are excited by his interpretation of this iconic role.\u201d<\/p>

One cast member who seemingly won\u2019t be back is Bruce Horak as Hemmer, the Enterprise\u2019s chief engineer who died in episode 9, All Those Who Wander.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a full list of who we\u2019d expect to be in the main cast for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2.<\/p>\n
