This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Summary Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' season 2 crossover episode with Star Trek: Lower Decks sparked a real life friendship between Celia Rose Gooding and Tawny Newsome. Gooding plays Ensign Nyota Uhura, who helped welcome Star Trek: Lower Decks Ensigns Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler to the USS Enterprise.
I think Uhura and Mariner, their relationship was so… I don’t know. It reminds me of how I love Tawny Newsome. Tawny Newsome is the love of my life. I love her so much. And so to get to work with her and really have a very honest conversation, it felt at times very much like Celia and Tawny talking as opposed to Uhura and Mariner, just because she was someone who I talked to a lot about just showing up in this franchise and how to be a person in Trek.
And that gave Uhura permission to move to a version of herself that is, again, more recognizable. I think the Uhura that generations of Trek fans have gotten to know and love is somebody a lot more relaxed than the Uhura that we’re seeing today. And she’s a lot more carefree, a lot more joyful, a lot more… She flirts with life. And I love that about her. I can’t wait to bring more of that to my Uhura as time goes on.
