We’re still over three months away from the arrival of Captain Pike, Number One, Lt. Spock, and the rest of the Enterprise crew, but today the first key art for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has just beamed down!
The new Original Series prequel series is set to arrive on Paramount+ this May 5, and today’s new poster reveal out of the Television Critics Association Winter press tour features the modern-design Constitution-class USS Enterprise — under the command of Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) — above the captain’s home, Mojave (seen on the horizon).
Pike himself is seen in near-silhouette, riding his faithful horse — in “The Cage,” the animal was called “Tango” — peering up at an image of Jupiter and the wide expanse of space he’s set to explore in the coming adventure.
Pike’s ready room aboard the USS Discovery also featured imagery from his Southwestern home — and horse-and-rider sculptures as well — during his stint aboard that series.
Captain Pike's ready room includes statuettes of horses with riders, a Native American-style blanket, and views of the southwestern United States, aligning with Mojave, his home on Earth, thought to be in the Arizona/Nevada area.#StarTrekDiscovery pic.twitter.com/jkx7eH10fi

Little has been seen from the secretive new series so far, with our only look at footage from the upcoming production coming in September’s meet-the-cast trailer that debuted on Star Trek Day.
Beyond that, our only real glimpse of the show have come from limited social media posts from the series’ cast — including this look at Celia Rose Gooding in her Cadet Uhura costume, and castmates Jess Bush (Nurse Chapel) and Christina Chong (La’an Noonien-Singh) in a classic-Trek-style Jeffries Tube.

Gooding was also briefly spotted in this new Paramount+ commercial that debuted over the weekend — along side Discovery’s Anthony Rapp and Picard’s Isa Briones — each humming part of the Halo theme song (as the game has been adapted into a Paramount+ original series coming in March).
Welcome back to Paramount Mountain where entertainment lives. After a year on the mountain, a familiar chant stirs the souls of our intrepid crew… #HalotheSeries #ParamountPlus https://t.co/yNqRHJyAxy https://t.co/rp8YtNYpTm
