JULY 1, 2022 - There has been a lot of Star Trek warping by since this new era of Trek on the small screen began with season one of Star Trek: Discovery way back on September 24, 2017. Yep, that was almost five years ago, when “The Vulcan Hello” dropped and the seeds of the Klingon War were sown.

Speaking of the Klingons, we haven’t seen them in live-action since the end of season two of Discovery. According to TrekMovie, however, we might – that is to say, might – be seeing more of the Klingons in season two of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which is filming now.

TrekMovie summarized this week several interviews with SNW cast members, who are all very excited for the upcoming season. Babs Olusomokun, who plays Dr. M’Benga, mentioned the residents of Qo’nos by saying that season two will be exploring a darker side of his character and M’Benga’s “contentious relationship with the Klingons.” He also said in another interview that the storyline involving M’Benga’s daughter, Rukiya, is an “ongoing and living situation.”

In addition to what Olusomokun had to say, Christina Chong, SNW’s La’an Noonien-Singh, said that season two “takes it to a whole other level,” and Melissa Navia (Lieutenant Ortegas) sums it up by saying that “we’re gonna go to places that you just didn’t expect, couldn’t expect, but you’re gonna be really happy that we did.”

For the rest of the cast’s comments, head over to TrekMovie.

And while we’re waiting for season two of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, season one is still underway and streaming on Paramount+.
