‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ cast on Season 2: ‘We took a lot of big swings’

When the cast of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” got down to work on the show’s second season, they didn’t let the fact it was a hit go to their heads. “The reaction from Season 1 really gave us so much wind behind our sails going into Season 2. The Nyota Uhura of “Strange New Worlds,” portrayed by Celia Rose Gooding, is a linguistics expert who speaks 37 languages and is part of the decision-making aboard the ship. Gooding said her appreciation for Uhura deepened while making the second season. “There comes a point, usually around the second season in my experience, that the character starts to become more second nature,” said Mount in a separate interview about playing Pike.
