At San Diego Comic-Con, it was announced that the second season of Strange New Worlds would include the return of Captain Kirk. There will be a Jonathan Frakes directed show between Lower Decks and Trek. Jack Quaid and Tawny Newsome will reprise their Lower Decks roles, although we don't know how they'll show up a century in the future.

The special episode will feature a hybrid of live-action and animation to make it one of the most unlikely Star Trek team-ups to ever happen.

The second season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is yet to be given a return date. When we learn about Trek's plans, we'll bring you more.
