The Poster
At the 2022 TCAs, the official key art for Strange New Worlds was released. The poster features a character on horseback — could it be Pike? — as the Enterprise hovers overhead with the tagline “The frontier is waiting.” What does this mean for the plot of the series? We’ll have to wait and see!
