(Note: The standard Star Trek abbreviations are used to denote the series in which each individual is featured. In cases where there are three or more, an “ST” is used to represent general Star Trek purposes.)

ETHAN PECK JOINS STAR TREK: DISCOVERY AS “SPOCK”

Star Trek Discovery announces Ethan Peck as the newest addition to the series. Peck will star as “Spock,” the half human, half Vulcan Science Officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise, and foster brother of “Michael Burnham.”

“Through 52 years of television and film, a parallel universe and a mirror universe, Mr. Spock remains the only member of the original bridge crew to span every era of Star Trek,” added Executive Producer Alex Kurtzman. “The great Leonard Nimoy, then the brilliant Zachary Quinto, brought incomparable humanity to a character forever torn between logic and emotion. We searched for months for an actor who would, like them, bring his own interpretation to the role. An actor who would, like them, effortlessly embody Spock’s greatest qualities, beyond obvious logic: empathy, intuition, compassion, confusion, and yearning. Ethan Peck walked into the room inhabiting all of these qualities, aware of his daunting responsibility to Leonard, Zack, and the fans, and ready to confront the challenge in the service of protecting and expanding on Spock’s legacy. In that spirit, we’re thrilled to welcome him to the family.”

Season 2 of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY will premiere in early 2019 on CBS All Access.

Breaking News – Sir Pat Is Back!

Sir Patrick Stewart, the Shakespearean actor we all know and love, is officially returning to Star Trek as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. In this new Star Trek series, which will be the second such series included on the CBS All Access subscription service, the “story of the next chapter in Picard’s life” will finally be told.
