Inhumans’ Anson Mount cast as Captain Pike in Star Trek: Discovery season 2

April 10, 2018 by Gary Collinson

After introducing the U.S.S. Enterprise in the closing moments of the season one finale, Star Trek: Discovery has now found its Captain Christopher Pike in Hell on Wheels and Inhumans star Anson Mount.

For those unfamiliar with Trek lore, Captain Pike was the captain of the Enterprise prior to James T. Kirk, and appeared in the pilot episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, portrayed by Jeffrey Hunter. Bruce Greenwood took on the role for 2009’s Star Trek relaunch and its sequel Star Trek Into Darkness.

During Pike’s time as Captain of the Enterprise, Mr. Spock served as his First Officer, although the show’s producers have played down speculation that they are looking to cast Spock for the upcoming second season. Still, given that both his father Sarek, mother Amanda and half sister Michael Burnham all feature in the series, it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise if the character does make an appearance.

Filming on the second season of Star Trek: Discovery is set to get underway later this month. As yet, there’s no word on a premiere date.
