Although the Klingons have yet to appear in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1, they have loomed large over the show.
Appearing on the official Paramount+ aftershow, The Ready Room, Babs Olusomokun, who plays Dr. M’Benga teased a deeper exploration of the character’s profound hatred of Klingons.
What we’ll see in the next season–that we are already shooting–is essentially exploring another side of Dr. M’Benga […] a darker side of him. We can say [it’s] an exploration of his […] contentious relationship with the Klingons.

Anson Mount’s Captain Pike last faced the Klingons back in Star Trek: Discovery Season 2, which took place against the backdrop of war between the powers. As for Dr. M’Benga, he last – or will next, if we’re using the universe’s internal chronology – encounter the Klingons in Star Trek: The Original Series episode ‘A Private Little War’ (S2, Ep16).
