The much anticipated, new Star Trek series - Strange New Worlds is finally set to premiere on Paramount+. The 10-episode first season will run between May and July, with a second season already confirmed and in production. Strange New Worlds is a breath of fresh air for many Star Trek fans, who have often come across as dissatisfied with modern iterations of the famous franchise. Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard on CBS All Access have both come under fire with audiences who loved The Original Series.
Discovery has especially been criticized, with fans feeling that the show is 'too woke.'Picardhas not received as much hate, although many Trekkies have said that they don't care much for it, either. In their eyes, both these shows have departed from the spirit of their predecessors. Strange New Worlds is seen as a return to those good old days and is in fact a prequel to TOS, as well as a spin-off from Discovery.
Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn and Ethan Peck will be reprising roles that they have already played in the CBS All Access series. We rank these stars - and their new colleagues - based on their net worths.
7 Celia Rose Gooding - $500,000
At 22 years old, Celia Rose Gooding is the youngest member of the main cast in Star Trek: New Worlds. She plays the classic character Nyota Uhura, who was first portrayed in TOS by Nichelle Nichols.
This will be the first major role of Gooding's screen acting career. She is said to be worth around $500,000.
6 Jess Bush & Babs Olusanmokun - $2 Million
Babs Olusanmokun is enjoying a very prolific 2022 so far. He played a prominent - albeit supporting role in the epic science fiction film, Dune. He is now set to become Dr. M'Benga in the new Star Trek.
Australian actress and model Jess Bush will play Nurse Christine Chapel, another classic Star Trek role. They are both estimated to have a net worth of about $2 million each.
5 Anson Mount - $3 Million
Anson Mount is the face of the new Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, in the iconic shoes of Christopher Pike, Captain of the USS Enterprise. He is already familiar with the role, having as Captain Pike in 14 episodes of Discovery.
Despite being so prominent, his reported $3 million net worth is significantly lower than that of some of his colleagues.
4 Paul Wesley - $6 Million
The Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley does not actually feature in the first season of Strange New Worlds. He has, however, been confirmed as yet another legendary Star Trek character - Captain James T. Kirk.
The character was originally played to great aplomb by William Shatner. Wesley has already been spotted behind the scenes in the captain's suit, during the filming of Season 2 of the series. The 39-year-old is rumored to boast a handsome net worth of around $6 million today.
3 Melissa Navia - $7 Million
Melissa Navia is establishing herself as a regular in various recurring roles on the small screen. She has featured in - among others - Bull, Billions, and New Amsterdam. She will play Erica Ortegas, the helmsman of the ship Enterprise.
This character is one of those that were not in The Original Series, although creator Gene Rodenberry is said to have used the name in his very first pilot screenplay.
According to Popular Net Worth, Navia's total wealth is valued at an estimated $7 million.
2 Ethan Peck - $14 Million
Like Anson Mount, Ethan Peck has already gotten to grips with his character from their time on Star Trek: Discovery. Peck played the famous human-Vulcan character, Spock in a total of nine episodes on the show.
Spock is a science officer on board the USS Enterprise. He was portrayed in TOS by the legendary Leonard Nimoy, who is still fondly remembered by fans today. Peck has been acting since he was 9, featuring in productions like Passport to Paris and That '70s Show. He is now said to be worth a neat $14 million.
1 Rebecca Romijn - $20 Million
From all the cast members of Strange New Worlds, no one can boast the kind of net worth that Rebecca Romijn does. It is fair to say that she is the most experienced in the group, and that she has featured in the most iconic films of anyone else.
Romijn's portfolio reads of credits in Ugly Betty, The Librarians and Femme Fatale. She also famously portrayed the character Mystique in the X-Men film series. In Strange New Worlds, she will play Una Chin-Riley / Number One, First Officer on the Enterprise, and Captain Pike's second in command. Romijn is worth an estimated $20 million.
