Just hours after we were introduced to Cadet Nyota Uhura and Lieutenant La’An; Lieutenant Ortegas, and Hemmer, it’s time to welcome back an old friend.

THE DOCTOR WILL SEE YOU NOW
It’s always a pleasure to see characters from The Original Series make a welcome return. And Dr. M’Benga can count himself among them. It’s been a long time since we saw him in “A Private Little War” and the idea of seeing him back in sickbay is an exciting one. And Babs Olusanmokun looks more than up to the challenge of filling Booker Bradshaw’s shoes. And with the series looking this good Strange New Worlds has already cemented itself as the must-see TV event of the year.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds stars Anson Mount as Captain Pike, Rebecca Romjin as Number One, and Ethan Peck as Spock. Joining them are Jess Bush as Nurse Christine Chapel, Christina Chong as La’an Noonien-Singh, Celia Rose Gooding as Cadet Nyota Uhura, Melissa Navia as Lt. Erica Ortegas, Babs Olusanmokun as Dr. M’Benga and Bruce Horak as Hemmer.
The series premieres on Paramount+ in the US on May 5, 2022.
