We spoke w/ Jess Bush and Babs Olusanmokun about StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds, their characters, and working on the sickbay set.
Paramount+ is gearing up again to boldly go where no one has gone before with the premiere of the highly anticipated Star Trek: Discovery spin-off series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Set in the years prior to Star Trek: The Original Series, the show will explore the adventures of the U.S.S. Enterprise under the leadership of Captain Christopher Pike .
OLUSANMOKUN: It was just amazing. It was amazing. I'm like, "Wow, this is this sickbay. This is my office. This is where we get to play." And it was just massive and level of artistry that went into the design and the detail, and the minutia, like all just all the little pieces. Is just staggering, staggering, really. So it helped us settle in even more.OLUSANMOKUN: Really like, we're here, and we have to use this space, and we have to command this space.
BUSH: Mm, absolutely. It was a really cool process of collaborating and speaking extensively with the Akiva and Henry, the showrunners. And taking in Majel's performance and distilling the essence of that. And then really having the conversation about like, "Who is she in 2021? Who is she when she was younger? How do we marry those things?" And it was cool.
Babs, without spoilers, we get to see a little bit more of M'Benga's backstory at the beginning of the season. What was it like getting to explore that arc and what can fans expect from it?
