The CBS All Access drama has cast formerHell on Wheelsstar Anson Mount in the pivotal role.
And I couldnt be more excited about playing PIKE!
Pike is a character first introduced in the originalStar Trekseries who commanded the U.S.S.
Enterprise prior to Captain James T. Kirk.
Which members ofThe Original Seriescrew might show up in season 2 ofDiscoveryhas been a source of considerable speculation.
Pike was played by Jeffrey Hunter in the famously discarded 1966 pilot ofTOS.
Sean Kenney stepped into the role later inTOS.
Mount is best known forHell on Wheelsbut more recently starred in ABCs Marvel seriesInhumans.
If hes anything like his previous roles, we can expect a rather steely version of Pike onDiscovery.
Season 2 begins filming in Toronto this month; theres no premiere date yet.
