Spock, La’An and Kirk investigate a missing Federation ship as a decades-old mystery turns into a fight for survival.
Hot on the heels of last Thursday’s fourth season premiere, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds returns this week with an all-new episode, “The Griffin Incident.”
The episode follows Spock, La’An Noonien-Singh and James T. Kirk as they board a missing Federation vessel and begin investigating the mystery surrounding its disappearance. What starts as a search for answers quickly escalates into a dangerous fight for survival.
Newly released images from the episode offer an early look at the mission, including Spock, La’An and Kirk exploring the lost ship and attempting to uncover what happened to its crew.
Check out the new images from “The Griffin Incident” below.
