Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is an American science fiction television series is the 11th Star Trek series. A spin-off from Star Trek: Discovery, it follows Captain Christopher Pike and the crew of the starship Enterprise in the 23rd century as they explore new worlds and carry out missions throughout the galaxy during the decade before Star Trek: The Original Series.

Christopher Pike: The captain of the USS Enterprise, who struggles with the knowledge that he will suffer a horrible fate. Pike was first portrayed by Jeffrey Hunter in The Original Series as a "gruff, authoritative commander" whom Mount described as "first act Pike... a very young man who is very self-involved". In contrast, Mount's "second act Pike" is confident, collaborative, and empathetic. Spock: A half-Vulcan, half-human science officer aboard the Enterprise. The series explores Spock's struggle to gain acceptance among Vulcans as well as the complicated relationship with his fiancee, T'Pring.

Christine Chapel: A civilian nurse on the Enterprise. Myers felt the character's portrayal in The Original Series came from a "very different conception of women and of marriage and what people would do in their jobs" that modern audiences would not expect, and sought to tell new stories inspired by Bush's strengths. Bush said the character had a "distinct essence" but also felt there was room to explore her youth and backstory; the actress focused on the character's "dry and sarcastic" personality and developed that into a sense of humor for the younger version. The series explores a friendship and potential romance between Chapel and Spock. La'an Noonien-Singh: The Enterprise's newly assigned chief of security, whose family was murdered by the lizard-like Gorn when she was a child. Chong described the character as guarded and struggling with survivor's guilt but noted that she opens up as the series goes on and the crew of the Enterprise becomes her new family. Serving as security chief allows her to protect that family. La'an is also a descendant of Star Trek villain Khan Noonien Singh, and has been discriminated against because of this.

Nyota Uhura: A cadet on the Enterprise specializing in linguistics. Despite the character's important role throughout the Star Trek franchise, the writers felt that there was a lot still unknown about her that could be explored beyond her just being a Starfleet officer. As one of her first television acting roles, Gooding related to Uhura's experiences in the series as a cadet who is learning about the Enterprise. Erica Ortegas: The Enterprise's helmsman, who Navia described as a "highly skilled pilot and a veteran. She can handle a gun and also crack a joke. Ortegas's surname is a reference to the original Star Trek pitch which included a navigator named Jose Ortegas. Joseph M'Benga: The Enterprise's chief medical officer, who is secretly trying to cure his daughter, Rukiya, of a rare disease. M'Benga was not given a first name in The Original Series, but was referred to as Joseph. M'Benga only appears in two episodes of The Original Series.

Hemmer: The Enterprise's chief engineer, Hemmer, is an Aenar, an albino subspecies of Andorians that are generally depicted as blind; Horak is blind in one eye with limited sight in the other, and the first legally blind regular actor in a Star Trek series. The writers always intended for Hemmer to die in the first season as a way to increase the series' stakes since most of the main characters are still alive in The Original Series. Horak was told about this when he was first cast and hoped to build the character into a "fan favorite", serving as a mentor to the young Uhura. Una Chin-Riley / Number One: The first officer of the Enterprise and second-in-command to Pike, the character was only referred to as "Number One" in The Original Series but was given the name Una Chin-Riley in several novels. The series confirms that Number One is an Illyrian, which the Original Series reveals that Illyrians genetically modify themselves.
