We’re just two short weeks away from the return of Star Trek: Discovery for its second season, and ahead of the long-awaited season premiere, CBS today has revealed a set of new character posters featuring new and returning cast members with the tagline “Exploration is Logical.”

Pairing Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) with Spock (Ethan Peck), Sylvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman) with Saru (Doug Jones), Hugh Culber (Wilson Cruz) with Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp), and Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) with Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), the four posters debuted through IGN this afternoon.

'Star Trek: Discovery' Season 2 Character Posters 1 of 4

These posters, which feature the USS Discovery flying through the mysterious ‘red bursts’ discussed heavily in the Season 2 trailers, mark the first appearance of Wilson Cruz in Discovery key art — after his character’s death at the hands of the Klingon-influenced Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif) last season, we’ve known he’ll be returning for the second year of Discovery, but this new image puts him back in uniform as his story with partner Paul Stamets continues this year.

Once CBS releases full versions of these posters, we’ll have them up in our Discovery image galleries along with the first key art released in mid-December.

While this week brings us the final Discovery Short Trek — “The Escape Artist,” directed by and starring Rainn Wilson as Harry Mudd — the premiere of Discovery Season 2 will follow later this month, on January 17 (for CBS All Access and Space viewers) and January 18 (for Netflix subscribers).
