Star Trek: StrangeNewWorlds producer Alex Kurtzman hints there could be more TOS characters coming in season 2: 'There are obviously characters who exist on TOS who are not yet on the show.'
Alex Kurtzman, executive producer of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, teases possible cameos and character appearances from The Original Series . Star Trek first aired in 1966 and lasted for three seasons on NBC. Despite the relatively short run of Gene Roddenberry's groundbreaking show, the sci-fi franchise has had an almost perpetual influence on television and pop culture ever since.
The newest spinoff show, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, is a prequel to TOS, and it follows the crew of the Enterprise before Captain James Kirk takes over from Captain Chris Pike, played by Anson Mount. Pike only appeared in the originally unaired pilot of TOS and in a two-part special called"The Menagerie," where he is paralyzed and close to death, a fact that has already been teased in Strange New Worlds season 1.
"I guess the best tease that I could give you is that there are obviously characters who exist on TOS who are not yet on the show. So given that there’s a kind of five-year window before Kirk would have taken over the Enterprise–or seven, I have lost track–others may show up." Several characters from TOS—including Spock , Uhura , and Christine Chapel —have main roles on the show. As Kurtzman points out, the show takes place in the five to seven years leading up to TOS; thus, more familiar faces will probably make appearances as that gap closes. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has cast Paul Wesley as Captain Kirk for season 2, so it is already heading in that direction now.
The Gorn, creatures from TOS, are already set up as villains in Strange New Worlds season 1, marking a very clear connection and homage. Not as clear but very intriguing is the teasing of the appearance of one of the biggest villains from TOS. The important character of chief of security La'an is a relative of Khan Noonien Singh. With this infamous character already being evoked, audiences should not be surprised by Kurtzman's statement.
