Captain Kirk visits Toronto in Season 2 of ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’

One of the places where “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” boldly goes in Season 2 is Toronto — yes, that Toronto, as in Ontario, Canada. And she brings an alternate version of Captain James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) along for the ride. “Seems to be New York City, mid-21st century,” says Kirk. “You know, Maple Leafs, politeness, poutine.”In an interview, Wesley said he loved that the show’s writers committed to setting the episode in Toronto. “Oftentimes, you’re filming in Toronto and they’re like, ‘We’re gonna pretend it’s New York City.’ Well, they actually landed in Toronto, which is awesome,” he said.
