Star Trek: Discovery season 2 returned after a dramatic change of showrunners behind the scenes. Here’s everything you need to know to watch Star Trek: Discovery season 2 and season 3 this spring for free. 

Season 1 ended with Michael Burnham and her crewmates meeting up with the U.S.S. Enterprise, which means some exciting new additions to the cast. Anson Mount plays Captain Kirk’s predecessor Christopher Pike, while Ethan Peck will play Spock—10 years younger than the version we met in the Original Series. The Enterprise and Discovery crews will team up against a new antagonist known as the Red Angel, while Klingon political conflicts simmer on in the background.

With Michelle Yeoh returning as the Mirror Universe version of Burnham’s mentor Captain Georgiou, this season is an exciting mix of old and new.
