We can tell by the trailer they are going to give Pike the Shatner Kirk background. He's living in the country side on a horse farm having retired/retreated from modern world. They come to get him to command the enterprise. Spack is having an existential crises about being a white half-human male in a Black Woman's world and makes it his duty to mentor young Quane Uhuru...I mean, Uhura. The diverse casting will ensure that they are the only voices of authority in the series while Pike learns to constrain his god damn privilege and is saved by Number 2 every time. The plot of going out to explore the universe is a side-point. It's all about exploring the inner self for narcissists with a little bit of outerspace exploration thrown in to make the characters look better.
