JANUARY 25, 2023 - In September 2022, we revealed a new addition to the cast of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds when we shared that veteran comedian/actress Carol Kane will be joining the crew as the new CEO (Chief Engineering Officer) for season two.

Now, we are happy to also announce that two additional characters will be joining the series for its sophomore season.  Noah Lamanna and Adelaide Kane (no relation).  But who will they play?

Lamana will play a character named “Chief Jay”. We currently don’t know who Kane will be playing, however, we do know that she has just recently signed on in 2022 for Grey’s Anatomy in the role of an intern, so she may not be a regular, and we’ve only confirmed her appearance in one episode as of yet. 

Does Chief Jay mean that Chief Kyle who runs the transporter aboard the Enterprise is being replaced? Well, perhaps something that we do know will shed some light on both of these new characters. We already know that Paul Wesley will be reprising his role as Captain James T. Kirk, but not on the Enterprise.  All indications show right now that he will be the captain of the USS Farragut. 

This leads to the next obvious fact that he won’t be the only person on that ship.  Captains have crews, and we expect that we’ll be meeting at least a couple of them. So, maybe these new faces will be members of his crew on that ship?

Time will tell and thankfully, the time is near as SNW will be premiering in 2023 with season two. To learn more, as well as some of the bios of our new crew members, shift from this temporal anomaly over to TrekCentral and read their expanded coverage.
