Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Premiere is Streaming Free

The Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 premiere episode, "The Broken Circle," is now streaming for free on YouTube. This is a frequent move that Paramount+ pulls with its Star Trek series when new seasons begin, and this time it follows Paramount+ putting the entirety of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 onto YouTube for free ahead of Season 2's premiere. TheStar Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 premiere doesn't feature much of Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and for a good reason, but it does see Mr. Spock (Ethan Peck) taking command of the USS Enterprise and immediately going rogue with the ship to help out La'an Noonien Singh (Christina Chong). Star Trek: Strange New Worlds showrunners Henry Alonso Myers & Akiva Goldsman wrote "The Broken Circle." Chris Fisher directed the episode. Here's the episode's official synopsis:

"A distress call from Lt. Noonien-Singh compels Spock to disobey orders and take the USS Enterprise and its crew into disputed space, risking renewed hostilities with the Klingons in a bid to aid their shipmate."
