Star Trek: Strange New Worlds closes out the week with yet another new promotional video, this time centered around the Enterprise’s half-Vulcan science officer — Ethan Peck’s Lt. Commander Spock.
Peck took over the role of ‘prime universe’ Spock from the departed Leonard Nimoy in 2019, joining the franchise in Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 and the subsequent USS Enterprise-centric Short Trek “Q & A”. In Strange New Worlds, the actor takes on Spock full-time in the years between “The Cage,” leading up to the original Star Trek series.
Seen in Discovery holding the rank of Lieutenant, the officer has received a promotion since we last saw him to the rank of Lt. Commander.

In the new teaser, we see Spock aboard the Enterprise, but also back on his Vulcan homeworld as he appears to be going through a number of traditional rituals — with lots of visual callbacks to “Amok Time,” including some close encounters with a Vulcan woman (Gia Sandhu) who seems quite likely to be T’Pring… his betrothed mate.
The Strange New Worlds promotional machine keeps on moving as we get ever closer to the upcoming series premiere, so keep checking back for more news here at TrekCore!
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds debuts on Thursday, May 5 on Paramount+ in the United States, Australia, Latin America, and the Nordics, as well as on CTV Sci Fi Channel in Canada. Additional international distribution has not yet been announced.
