“In a career, there is never enough work that is pure joy. I feel that my friend Alex Kurtzman along with David Stapf at CBS Studios and Julie McNamara at Paramount+ have given me just that by letting me haunt the stock rooms of my favorite candy store and I am grateful,” Co-showrunner Akiva Goldsman said in a statement. “With a hell of a cast and undying love for the original series, we boldly go.”

In addition, the series has found five new cast members in the form of Babs Olusanmokun (Black Mirror), Christina Chong (Tom and Jerry), Celia Rose Gooding (Jagged Little Pill), Jess Bush (Les Norton), and Melissa Navia (Billions), who are all set as series regulars.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will follow the crew in the decade during Captain Kirk was at the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.

“I’m incredibly grateful to be working alongside Akiva and our brilliant, multi-faceted cast to help bring the adventures of the Starship Enterprise to new life,” said Myers, co-showrunner and EP. “For someone who’s been dreaming of spaceships and alien worlds since I was little, this show is a dream come true.”

The series will be led by Anson Mount, Ethan Peck and Rebecca Romijn, who are reprising their roles as Captain Christopher Pike, Spock and Number One, respectively. They first portrayed the characters in the second season of Star Trek: Discovery.
