Rebecca Romijn’s character, Number One (also known as Una Chin-Riley), and Christina Chong’s La’an Noonien-Singh have undergone significant character development throughout the first two seasons of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” a trend that continues into the upcoming third season. The show’s creators, Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers, have crafted exceptional scripts that highlight Number One’s growth as a potential starship captain, showcasing her leadership qualities and her evolving relationships with her crew.

Romijn shared insights into Una’s character arc, noting how viewers will see her balancing a stern demeanor with fairness and a commitment to being on the right side of history. After being cleared for her Illyrian heritage and embracing her true self, Una is poised to take on greater responsibilities as a leader. Romijn expressed enthusiasm over their fourth season, of which she describes as the best yet, and commended the innovative writing that challenges traditional storytelling.

Meanwhile, Chong highlighted La’an’s transformation, which aligns with her personal growth and newfound romantic interests. After confronting her fears of the Gorn threatening her family, La’an is portrayed in a more vulnerable light, allowing her softer side to emerge, exemplified by her romantic interest in an alternate-reality version of James T. Kirk.

Both actresses emphasized the importance of character depth and personal evolution, facilitated by the show’s dynamic writing. The third season of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” premiered on Paramount+ on July 17, bringing audiences more riveting adventures and character developments.

This season promises to not only delve into rich storytelling but also explore the complexities and growth of its characters in a way that resonates with viewers, making it an exciting time for fans of the franchise.
