Beam Up The cast of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds boldly go where no one has gone before. A new teaser for the "Star Trek" prequel unveils the actors who play two iconic characters from the USS Enterprise: Uhura and Nurse Christine Chappell.

As part of Star Trek Day on September 8, Paramount Plus released a video introducing the cast of the spinoff, set in the 23rd century after the events of "Star Trek: Discovery" season 2. The main trio of "Strange New Worlds" has already appeared on "Discovery": Captain Pike (Anson Mount), his number one, Una Chin Riley, aka Number One (Rebecca Romijn), and science officer Spock (Ethan Peck).

But the prequel also features younger versions of familiar characters, as well as entirely new ones. Here is what we know so far about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

In the teaser video, all of the main cast members introduce themselves and their characters. It begins with Mount marveling at the fact that he will be playing Captain Pike of the Enterprise (Captain Kirk's predecessor), then moves on to Peck as Spock (in a more spiky version of his typical bow cut), and Romijn as Number One.

The latter mentions that in the original pilot, the role was played by Majel Barrett Roddenberry, the wife of the series creator. However, number one was cut from the show, and Barrett later played Nurse Chappell.

Celia Rose Gooding was cast as cadet Nyota Uhura, played by Nichelle Nichols in the OG version of Star Trek. Says Gooding, "I am very excited to step into this legacy."

Babuzu Olsanmokun will play Dr. Mbenga, a doctor who also appeared in the original series.

And Jess Bush is Nurse Christine Chappell, a role that Barrett eventually accepted.

New characters from Star Trek: A Strange New World are introduced in the video: Bruce Horak as Hemmer, one of the albino Andorian subspecies of Einar; Christina Chung as Raan Nunien Singh; Melissa Navia as plays Lt. Erica Ortegas.

So far, Paramount Plus has not set a release date for Star Trek: A Strange New World, but has said it will be sometime in 2022.

"Star Trek: Discovery" Season 4 is scheduled for November and "Star Trek: Picard" Season 2 for February; if the 10-episode run concludes in April, "Strange New Worlds" will debut shortly thereafter or in May 2022. Possibly. There is also a possibility that Paramount Plus will delay the broadcast until later in the year.
