We’re just over a month away now from the January 17 premiere of Star Trek: Discovery Season 2, and today CBS has rolled out their new 2019 key artwork and trailer for the upcoming sophomore season — adding Captain Pike, Spock, and the Enterprise right into the mix.
After a late-night leak on Twitter yesterday thanks to a premature image update on the Apple TV app for CBS All Access, the new Discovery Season 2 artwork arrived in full from the studio this morning, featuring returning stars Sonequa Martin-Green (Michael Burnham), Doug Jones (Saru), Mary Wiseman (Tilly), Anthony Rapp (Stamets), and Michelle Yeoh (Mirror Georgiou) joined by series newcomers Anson Mount (Pike) and Ethan Peck (Spock) in a colorful new display of spacebound suspense.
In addition, of course, comes a brand-new trailer featuring tons of new footage from the upcoming season, from Spock locked away in a Federation mental facility to Burnham sporting a new civilian outfit quite reminiscent of the classic Star Trek uniform from the 1960s.
We also get to see Tyler and L’Rell fighting Klingon enemies on Qo’noS, the return of Saru’s sister Siranna (both whom look to be prisoner of the mysterious Ba’ul), Tilly being swallowed by an alien organism, and much more of Spock and Pike aboard the Discovery.
Of note, the former Emperor Georgiou seems to be flouting her involvement with Section 31 to Captain Pike and Commander Burnham — who both seem to be aware of the mysterious organization hidden from the general Starfleet ranks by the 24th Century.
We’ll be sure to update this post with a globally-watchable version of this trailer as soon as possible.
