Spock Returns in Season Premiere of 'Star Trek: Discovery'

Star Trek: Discovery is dusting off an old, beloved character for its second-season premiere. Spock will be back on TV for the first time since 1991, and he'll be played by a new actor. Read on for details.

The CBS All-Access series Star Trek: Discovery returns to active duty tonight with Brother, the franchise’s high-intensity Season 2 premiere and its strongest showing to date after a bumpy inaugural season.
The hour-long season opener marks the small-screen return of American television’s greatest alien, Mr. Spock, this time as portrayed by the young, bearded and soulful Ethan Peck, grandson of Hollywood icon Gregory Peck.
The last time Spock was featured in a new Trek television episode was in November 1991 when Leonard Nimoy beamed aboard Star Trek: The Next Generation (a series that also had an uneven first season).
Spock is the title sibling in Brother — the episode reunites him with his sister, Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), the fiery Discovery crew member who was raised on Vulcan by Spock’s parents. Spock and Burnham may be the keys to unlocking a cosmic mystery that will tug the Discovery crew toward a new danger in deep space.
