‘Strange New Worlds’ Cast Officially Explains the Star Trek Series’ Most Shocking Death [Exclusive]

Making a prequel series like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is a delicate balance when it comes to endangering its characters. Some characters, like Scotty (Martin Quinn) and Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), are destined to have decades of adventures in the future, so the peril of the week can only threaten them so much. Other characters, however, are newcomers to the canon and have no known destiny. That was the case with the series’ most shocking death, as related by castmates Ethan Peck and Christina Chong at a panel at last week’s Tampa Bay Comic Con, moderated by Collider’s Maggie Lovitt.
