Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

I hopeStar Trek : Strange New Worlds’Celia Rose Gooding catch her wish for Ensign Nyota Uhura to meetStar Trek : Discovery ’s Captain Michael Burnham ( Sonequa Martin - Green).Star Trek : Discoveryhas concluded its 5th and final season , wrapping up the stories of Captain Burnham and the USS Discovery . Meanwhile , Star Trek : Strange New Worldsseason 3 is in post - production for an expected 2025 premiere on Paramount+ . Unless there ’s a big surprisal , Strange New Worldsseason 3 has no crossover with Burnham orStar Trek : Discovery , but could Burnham meet Uhura inStrange New Worldsseason 4 or beyond ?

Celia Rose Gooding inherit the role of a younger Uhura originated by Nichelle Nichols inStar Trek : The Original Series . Star Trek : Strange New Worldshas given Uhura more agency and character depth thanTOSor J.J. Abrams’Star Trekmovies , where Zoe Saldana played Uhura .

Celia Rose Gooding Wants Uhura To Meet Burnham & I Hope It Happens

Meeting Burnham would be epic for Uhura

Appearing at Terrificon with herStar Trek : Strange New Worldsco - star , Ethan Peck , Celia Rose Gooding said she has two bigcrossover hopes for Uhura : meeting her older ego played by the late Nichelle Nichols , which Celia make love ca n’t bechance , and Uhura meeting Captain Michael Burnham fromStar Trek : Discovery .

I think that would be really good for her savvy of her shoes on the Enterprise . “Check out Gooding and Peck at Terrificon in the video below :

I suppose Burnham coming together Uhura , as two of the most spectacular African - American distaff characters in Star Trek on Paramount+ , would be a historic and spectacular crossing . Of of course , Uhura is the first prominent Black adult female and character as a member ofStar Trek : The Original Series ' stamp . Burnham follows in the footsteps of Nichelle Nichols as Uhura . Butthe skid would be on the other foot in a crossover betweenStrange New WorldsandStar Trek : Discovery .

Can Captain Burnham Appear In Star Trek: Strange New Worlds?

It would be Star Trek’s trickiest crossover

As much as I ’d like to see Uhura encounter Captain Burnham onStar Trek : Strange New Worlds , a crossover would be very hard to pull off . While Sonequa Martin - Green is reportedly open to repeat Burnham , the logistics of how to bring Michael back to the 23rd century , or Uhura to the thirty-second century , are pall - but not impossible . A greater issue is how to preserveStar Trekcanon . Burnham vanished 930 years into the future with the USS Discovery , never to return . Lieutenant Spock ( Ethan Peck)is never intend to see his foster sister again , cook convey Burnham aboard the USS Enterprise a dicey proffer .

Uhura merging Burnham - and Celia Rose Gooding portion out the screen with Sonequa Martin - Green - would undoubtedly be cool .

Also , Uhura should n’t get laid Captain Burnham exists at all , or that she is Spock ’s adopted sister . And yet , there are stilla figure of sci - fi ways for Uhura to assemble Michael Burnham , like meter change of location , or a time crystal for Uhura to glimpse Burnham in the future ( or frailty versa ) . Uhura encounter Burnham - and Celia Rose Gooding sharing the screen with Sonequa Martin - Green - would undoubtedly be cool and a majorStar Trekevent . Whether it can find inStar Trek : Strange New Worldsseason 4 or beyond is up in the air , but I co - sign Celia Rose Gooding ’s wish that Uhura come across Burnham and all the right things that could come from thatStar Trek : Discoverycrossover .
