Filming has wrapped on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2. TrekMovie interviewed Henry Myers, one of the show’s co-showrunners (the other is Akiva Goldsman). The interview resulted in exciting and encouraging revelations.
The staff tried to keep what worked from season 1 and correct issues where they weren’t happy. They decided to pretend that season 2 was the last season and “go for everything that we wanted to do.” They will be trying for more and better comedy and drama.
They are working hard “to try to give every character their moment in the show.” Lieutenant Ortegas gets an episode in season 2.
Myers said that “I think it’s really important that we’re not wasting the time with the audience,” such that the audience has an emotional experience while the characters “actually go through a journey that means something.”
Myers refused to say whether the Gorn would return in season 2. But he did say that season 2 would include “bigger science fiction ideas, bigger stranger worlds, crazier things,” and that they would try some things “that have never been done on Trek before.” He ended the interview with a statement that “there is work being done on season 3, whether officially or not.”
