We’re just over a month from the May 5 premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Paramount+, and today the streamer launched the first in what we assume to be a series of character promos — focused on Cadet Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding).
Cadet Uhura's future is hailing.

The character will be a new arrival to the USS Enterprise in the upcoming series, and as we see in this new teaser, Captain Pike (Anson Mount) welcomes the cadet to the starship with a casual dinner in his quarters. We also see her join an away mission which also features La’an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong), and the young cadet gets a nice compliment from Lieutenant Spock (Ethan Peck).
Included in the brief teaser are a few new looks at the visuals from Strange New Worlds, with views of the Enterprise sets and several exploratory missions.
The teaser also reveals some of the bridge modifications implemented since the set was seen in Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 (and the 2019 Short Trek tales).
The consoles and surrounding lighting have been warmed up from the previous blue theme, and the turbolift alcove has been modified as well; the outer corridor (behind the bridge stations) has also been removed, tightening up the shape of the bridge set.
Gooding and fellow Star Trek: Strange New Worlds castmates will be at next week’s Star Trek: Mission Chicago convention to share more about the upcoming series.
