A new Star Trek: Discovery commercial debuted on television last night ahead of the coming January premiere of Season 2 of the sophomore series, with the first new footage from the new episodes since the last trailer at New York Comic Con.

Currently only available through third-party uploads, the newest look at Discovery Season 2 includes extended bits of action from the rescue of survivors from the downed USS Hiawatha — Burnham’s escape from the violent structural collapse of the crashed ship as first seen in the summer San Diego Comic Con trailer — more asteroid field action from the early moments of the season, and most notably, bearded Spock (Ethan Peck) making his escape from a Starfleet medical facility…

…and sporting a smile to his captain, Christopher Pike (Anson Mount).

Aside from the apparently happy Spock — something we certainly saw in “The Cage”, which takes place before Discovery, and again in both “Amok Time” and in The Motion Picture — this commercial also reveals that we’ll see Spock and Pike together while the interim captain of the Discovery is still in charge of the Crossfield-class vessel, as denoted by his appearance in the blue uniform we’ve now come to expect from the series.

We’re hoping for a more official upload of this commercial from CBS to make its way online soon, and if and when that happens, we’ll update this post with a better-quality video of the newest peek at Discovery.

Star Trek: Discovery returns to CBS All Access and Space with the next “Short Trek” mini-sodes on December 6 and January 3, followed by the debut of Discovery Season 2 on January 17 (to follow January 18 on Netflix globally).
