The first footage from the upcoming season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds teases new genre-twisting episodes that give Star Trek takes on a murder mystery, a romantic comedy and a documentary-style episode. The stunt episodes build on the Paramount+ sci-fi show’s second season, which made headlines with a musical episode.

The new season will consist of 10 episodes and debut sometime this season.

The official description: “In season three when we reconnect with the crew of the U.S.S.

Paramount+ today released the teaser trailer for the upcoming third season of its hit original series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, coming this summer to the platform. Paramount+ previously announced that the series has also been renewed for a fourth season, which is currently in production in Toronto.

If there's any "Star Trek" series that fully understands the franchise ethos of treading new ground and boldly heading out into the unknown, it's "Strange New Worlds." The throwback show with a hot new cast has spent two full seasons establishing itself as the best of both worlds: Abiding by the traditional morality tales of the fan-favorite "Star Trek: The Original Series," while still using every trick in the book to make this nerdy sci-fi stuff as fresh and exciting as possible. A perfect blend of episodic and serialized, a hilarious and oftentimes emotionally moving exploration into characters we thought we knew backwards and forwards by now, and the continuation of a uniquely optimistic mission statement about humanity's future and our capacity for good? Yeah, that's exactly how you win over the hearts of every Trekkie out there.

Season 3 of "Strange New Worlds" has been a long time coming, particularly...

“Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” has dropped the first teaser for its upcoming third season.

The first look at the Paramount+ series, which can be seen below, teases ten brand new adventures aboard the USS Enterprise during the Capt. Christopher Pike years, including a murder mystery and the return of Paul Wesley as James T. Kirk. The new season will also resolve the Season 2 finale cliffhanger, which saw the Enterprise crew locked in a fierce battle with the Gorn that left Captain Batel’s (Melanie Scrofano) life hanging in the balance.

As previously announced, “Strange New Worlds” has already been renewed for a fourth season, which is currently in production in Toronto. Season 3 does not have an official premiere date, but will debut this summer.

The returning cast includes Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, Ethan Peck, Jess Bush, Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding, Melissa Navia, Babs Olusanmokun and Martin Quinn. Guest...

Well, this looks like a blast. “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” the series which best captures not just the spirit but the whimsy of “Star Trek” out of all the Paramount+ “Trek” shows that have bowed over the past decade, is back for Season 3. And a new teaser is here to get you excited for all the shenanigans, from a rom-com episode to an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery. A date for the new season still has not been set.

There’s even a glimpse of several members of the cast in full 1960s “Star Trek: The Original Series” couture, complete with a pastel-colored made-for-standard-definition bridge and the whirs and beeps anyone who’s ever watched the original show will recognize instantly.

That’s fitting, because “Strange New Worlds” is set just a few years before the events of “The Original Series” — there have been attempts at integrating elements of...

It's time for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to boldly go further into comedy territory.

Per Popverse, Uhura actor Celia Rose Gooding appeared at Emerald City Comic Con's Strange New Worlds panel, where they talked about the show's love of genre pastiche and what genre should be parodied in future seasons. Specifically, Gooding wanted to see Strange New Worlds tackle "Reality. Like, very Abbott Elementary, St. Denis Medical, The Office, just something like that." When the moderator asked if that meant applying The Office's signature mockumentary-style format to an episode's cinematography, they responded, "Sure."

Among Strange New World's most acclaimed episodes last season included a crossover with Star Trek:Lower Decks -- utilizing both animated sequences and casting Lower Decks' actors as their characters -- and a musical storyline where an "improbability field" causes the USS Enterprise crew to break into song and dance.

While the latter won't be returning...

For more than a year, Star Trek fans have been waiting patiently for the return of Strange New Worlds for a resolution to the cliffhanger finale of Season 2. While the third season of the hit show is finally set to premiere sometime this year, CBS Studios and Paramount are wasting no time getting the jump on Season 4.

Earlier this month, it was announced that production on Season 4 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is officially underway. The announcement was accompanied by a set photo featuring Ethan Peck (Spock), Celia Rose Gooding (Uhura), and Anson Mount (Captain Christopher Pike).

Season 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds aired on Paramount+ from June 2023 to August 2023. The season finale ended on a cliffhanger that evoked emotions similar to what we felt during the iconic two-part episode "The Best of Both Worlds" from Star Trek: The Next Generation. But whereas the wait between seasons of...

In 2017, "Star Trek" returned to the small screen after a 12-year hiatus with the debut of "Star Trek: Discovery," a big-budget show with slicker production values than the franchise had ever seen. It debuted on Paramount+ (still called CBS All Access in 2017), and it was to be the first of many new "Star Trek" shows that the streaming service would debut over the next few years. It was followed by "Short Treks," "Star Trek: Picard," "Star Trek: Lower Decks," and "Star Trek: Prodigy." The original U.S.S. Enterprise would also make a guest appearance in the second season of "Discovery," inspiring an Enterprise-set spinoff called "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds." Paramount+ also recently debuted the TV movie "Star Trek: Section 31."

Despite the glut of "Star Trek," however, fans weren't always on board. Some old-school Trekkies didn't like the new violent tone of "Discovery," as it didn't quite match the dry,...

The official Star Trek site announced today that production is now underway on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4. A first-look image from the set, featuring Ethan Peck (Spock), Celia Rose Gooding (Uhura), and Anson Mount (Christopher Pike), was also shared. You can check that out below.

I’m thrilled that another season of Strange New Worlds is underway, but we still don’t have a release date for the third season! All we know is that it will debut on Paramount+ sometime this year. The first season premiered in May, and the second dropped in June, so we can likely expect a summer release for this one as well. Hopefully, we’ll get a firm date for that soon. Strange New Worlds has been my favourite of the new Trek shows. It’s taken some big swings, with a musical episode and a crossover with the animated Lower Decks series.

As it approaches two years since the second season finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worldsfirst aired on Paramount+, fans are anxiously awaiting word on when Season 3 will premiere. The second season of Strange New Worlds concluded in August 2023, and Paramount+ has not confirmed when Season 3 will air. However, per Trek Central, filming has already begun on Season 4 of the series, which follows Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise.

The outlet reports that the fourth season began filming on March 3 and is expected to continue until the end of July. Pre-production on Strange New Worlds’ Season 4 began in January.Strange New Worlds was given the green light back in April 2024.

The official Star TrekInstagram account also confirmed that filming for Season 4 is underway, posting a photo of stars Mount, Ethan Peck, and Celia Rose Gooding on March 3. The post was captioned: "Production...

The third season of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is set to debut sometime in 2025, although an actual release date hasn't yet been given. Paramount has already released several production photos from the upcoming third season, as well as a full-on preview, and Trekkies have been delighted at some of the upcoming stories. It seems that several of the show's main characters will, for at least one episode, be transformed into Vulcans, and some deep-cut fans are waiting to see Nurse Chapel (Jess Bush) finally meet Dr. Roger Korby, a character not seen since the original "Star Trek" (when he was played by Michael Strong).

The show has proven to be so popular on Paramount+ that a fourth season was announced in Variety as far back as April of 2024. As of this morning, production on the fourth season of "Strange New Worlds" has officially begun, according to a post on...

Production on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 has already begun, and an official behind-the-scenes image has been released, which you can see below.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is arguably one of the best of the modern series, which includes Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Discovery, and Star Trek: Section 31. The show debuted in 2022 on Paramount+ and follows the adventures of Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), Mr. Spock (Ethan Peck), Number One Una Chin-Riley (Rebecca Romijn), Lt. Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), and the rest of the U.S.S. Enterprise crew before Captain James T. Kirk takes over.

As fans of Paramount+’s Star Trek: Strange New Worldsawait the third season of the series that follows Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and the crew of the U.S.S.

Christina Chong, who plays security officer LA'an Noonien-Singh on Strange New Worlds recently appeared on an episode of the D-Con Chamber,per CinemaBlend, and talked about one of the more polarizing episodes of the show’s second season.

Chong confessed that she wasn’t completely thrilled with “Subspace Rhapsody,”the ninth episode of the series’ second season. The episode, which was a full-blown musical, sees the crew of the Enterprise break into song after an encounter with a subspace anomaly.

No official release date has been announced for the Season 3 premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, but Nami Melumad, who composes the music for the series, says to expect “surprises." Melumad, while speaking with Screen Rant about her newest project, the Pixar mini-series, Dream Productions, teased season 3 of the series, which currently boasts a 98% Rotten Tomatoes score. Melumad also composed scores for the animated series, Star Trek: Prodigy, and 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder.

One thing for sure, though, Melumad said fans shouldn’t expect another musical episode like “Subspace Rhapsody” from Season 2. “There’s not another musical episode, but it’s my favorite season,” Melumad said of the forthcoming third installment of Strange New Worlds, which stars Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, and Rebecca Romijn.

“I have a very high bar for Star Trek, and I really enjoyed it. There are very different genres in there. There will be surprises.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 is set to span many different genres, and include a few surprises, according to composer Nami Melumad. Strange New Worlds is the 11th show in the Star Trek franchise and debuted on Paramount+ in May 2022. So far, it has run for two seasons and 20 episodes. Starring Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, and Rebecca Romijn, the series follows the crew of the Starship Enterprise in the 23rd century, as they explore new worlds. The show received high viewership and critical acclaim, and Strange New Worlds season 3 is due for release in 2025.

In an exclusive interview with ScreenRant to discuss his work on the animated Pixar show, Dream Productions, Melumad also talked about her love of Strange New Worlds, and her excitement about what season 3 of the show is set to bring. While she appeared to rule out another musical episode, despite the success of season 2's "Subspace Rhapsody,...

Season 3 of Paramount+’s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds doesn’t even have a premiere date, but per Trek Central via Production Weekly, Season 4 of the show, starring Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike, is reportedly already in pre-production. The fourth season was confirmed in April 2024. The finale of the second season of the series, set on the U.S.S. Enterprise, aired in August 2023.

Production Weekly confirmed that pre-production on Strange New Worlds has begun, but that generally means that the crew and cast are getting ready to start filming, but have not begun yet. The publication stated that work on the fourth season of the Paramount+ Trek series will happen between the first quarter of 2025 to July 2025. However, those dates could change as they are only placeholders.

In September 2024, Paul Wesley, who plays James T. Kirk in Strange New Worlds, said the series would start shooting its fourth season soon.

Star Trek (2009) set Lt. Nyota Uhura (Zoe Saldana) and Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) on an altered career trajectory where they almost end up switching starships. Director J.J. Abrams' 2009 reboot successfully recast the iconic characters from Star Trek: The Original Series with younger actors. Set in the alternate Kelvin timeline, Star Trek (2009)'s characters lived different lives than in Star Trek's Prime timeline, including how they all met and became the crew of the USS Enterprise.

Star Trek (2009)'s Kelvin timeline was created by Nero (Eric Bana), a Romulan time traveler seeking revenge on Ambassador Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and the United Federation of Planets. Nero implemented his plan to annihilate the Federation in 2258, destroying a Klingon moon and armada with his massive 24th-century starship, the Narada. While a Cadet at Starfleet Academy, Uhura decoded a Klingon distress call. During James T. Kirk's hearing for cheating on the Kobayashi Maru no-win scenario,...

Star Trek 2009 saw Uhura [Zoe Saldana] and Spock [Zachary Quinto] in a romantic relationship. While some fans didn't like the pairing, others liked that the chemistry first shown in Star Trek: The Original Series between Leonard Nimoy and Nichelle Nichols was at last given an outlet. Of course, Saldana and Quinto didn't have the same type of connection as their predecessors, but they seemed to make the relationship work...until it didn't.

Now, Saldana wants to know what will happen with her character and Quinto's if Star Trek 4 does get made. As she told Variety [via Trekmovie], "it just makes sense to see what is the next step in their relationship." Though the two parted ways with Uhura attempting to return the amulet Spock had given her, there is still plenty by way of storyline for the future of this couple. Saldana also wants to know how the couple will work together in the future.

Since 2017, the streaming service Paramount+ (originally called CBS All Access) has debuted the following "Star Trek" shows, all under the watchful eye of executive producer Alex Kurtzman: "Star Trek: Discovery," "Short Treks," "Star Trek: Picard," "Star Trek: Lower Decks," "Star Trek: Prodigy," and "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds." There was even a brief period when all of those shows were in production simultaneously. As of this writing, a TV movie called "Section 31" is due in the early months of 2025, and "Starfleet Academy" is in production. That's more trekking than we had in the 1990s.

Of course, the franchise has scaled back in recent years. All of the above series, save "Strange New Worlds," have come to an end, and it seems that the franchise aims to be a lot more modest going forward.

As the sole survivor, "Strange New Worlds" is one of the better choices to carry the torch for the property.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has yet to introduce the iconic Star Trek: The Original Series character, Hikaru Suku, who could be the perfect rival for Lt. Erica Ortegas (Melissa Navia). As a prequel to Tos, Strange New Worlds has introduced updated versions of beloved characters alongside some great new faces. From Celia Rose Gooding's Lt. Nyota Uhura to Christina Chong's Lt. LA'an Noonien-Singh, Strange New Worlds has done an excellent job casting Star Trek characters both old and new.

While several characters from Star Trek: The Original Series have already appeared on Strange New Worlds, a couple of the biggest names have yet to debut. Lt. Hikaru Sulu (George Takei) was a key part of Captain James T. Kirk's (William Shatner) Starship Enterprise crew from the beginning and became most well-known as the ship's pilot. Sulu was initially conceived as a physicist and wore science division blue,...

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has the opportunity to solve a Star Trek: Enterprise mystery that has lasted for over 19 years. In Enterprise's controversial finale, "These are the Voyages...", Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) visits the Nx-01 Enterprise in the holodeck, posing as the ship's Chef. Riker's version of Chef is friends with all the major characters on Enterprise: cooking and making pasta with Subcommander T'Pol (Jolene Blalock), Ensign Hoshi Sato (Linda Park), and even Dr. Phlox (John Billingsley). Yet Enterprise never revealed Chef's identity.

Although Enterprise was the last series in the popular run of Star Trek shows produced by Rick Berman, it never received the same acclaim during its run on Upn. One reason was that Enterprise was a prequel. While the rest of Berman's shows featured crossovers and events impacting Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager, Enterprise's prequel...

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is finally making Star Trek: Enterprise more important. Originally airing from 2001 to 2005, Star Trek: Enterprise attempted to beat franchise fatigue with a prequel series set earlier in the Star Trek timeline. Star Trek: Enterprise starred Scott Bakula as Captain Jonathan Archer in command of the previously unknown Nx-01 Enterprise in the 2150s. Archer was joined by new characters in crew positions that were already familiar to Star Trek fans, like Ensign Hoshi Sato (Linda Park) handling communications, Chief Engineer Trip Tucker (Connor Trinneer), and Ensign Travis Mayweather (Anthony Montgomery) at the helm.

Although Star Trek: Enterprise followed a familiar format, Enterprise's awkward position as a Star Trek prequel meant it had a hard time fitting into Star Trek's shared universe organically. Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager benefited from a shared timeline, Star Trek character crossovers,...

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has wasted the opportunity to break bag this great legacy character. After being introduced in Star Trek: Discovery season 2, Anson Mount's Captain Christopher Pike quickly became a fan favorite. This led Paramount to greenlight a spin-off following Captain Pike, Lt. Spock (Ethan Peck), and their Enterprise crew, and Strange New Worlds was born. With pitch-perfect casting, Strange New Worlds has reintroduced several Star Trek legacy characters, including Lt. Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) and James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley).

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has added depth to characters like Uhura, and has the opportunity to bring in even more legacy characters in the seasons to come. Star Trek: Discovery may have received mixed reviews from some fans, but the show nevertheless introduced some amazing characters to Star Trek canon. As a prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series, Discovery also incorporated some classic characters from the 1960s,...

When I first saw the 2009 Star Trek, I was struck by the linguistic superpowers of that film's Nyota Uhura (Zoe Saldana). They were familiar to me. It wasn't simply that this ability often arises in science fiction and fantasy. It's that there was another prominent character in Star Trek who had this ability. I am speaking, of course, of Hoshi Sato (Linda Park).

I was a bit irked by this at the time, as I was 13 and thus easily irked. I got over it. When 2022's Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premiered, however, and introduced us to a linguistically gifted Cadet Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) who wasn't quite sure if she belonged on the Enterprise, I found myself asking again, "Are they turning Uhura into Hoshi?"

To be clear, there is absolutey nothing wrong with being Hoshi Sato. As a fan of linguistics and general word nerd myself, Hoshi is...

Captain James T. Kirk and Lieutenant Nyota Uhura met the same way in two different Star Trek universes. Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) voyage through the stars together for decades in Star Trek: The Original Series and the first six Star Trek movies. J.J. Abrams' Star Trek (2009) depicted how James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Nyota Uhura (Zoe Saldana) met in the alternate Kelvin timeline.

14 years after Star Trek (2009), Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 finally depicted the first meeting between Lt. James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) and Ensign Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) in Star Trek's Prime timeline. Strange New Worlds is a canonical prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series where Wesley and Gooding play the younger visions of the Kirk and Uhura originated by William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols. However, Tos and J.J. Abrams' Star Trek's first meetings between...

Rhys Darby, the lead of HBO's Our Flag Means Death, will guest star in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, but does this mean for season 3? The New Zealand-born Darby worked with Our Flag Means Death's executive producer and co-star Taika Waititi on What We Do In The Shadows, and played Murray Hewitt in Flight of the Conchords. Rhys Darby's acting credits, which include dramatic roles and an impressive array of voice-over work for animation and video games, might point to what's in store for Darby's Star Trek future.

The Nycc announcement, which came with a new clip from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3, indicated that Rhys Darby's Star Trek character would be someone that Trekkies would already be familiar with. There's already been some speculation about who Rhys Darby's Star Trek legacy character in Strange New Worlds, which has already given fans brand-new interpretations of classic Star Trek:...

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will return for its third season on Paramount+ in 2025, and the streaming service is giving viewers a first look at what's to come. The prequel series has already been renewed for a fourth season.

Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, Ethan Peck, Babs Olusanmokun, Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding, Jess Bush, Melissa Navia, and Bruce Horak star in the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds series, which follows Captain Christopher Pike (Mount) and his crew on board the USS Enterprise, years before James T. Kirk took command in the original show.

Based on the years Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise, the CBS Studios-produced series follows the leader and his team, which features Science Officer Spock (Ethan Peck), and Number One (Rebecca Romijn), in the years before Captain Kirk boarded the starship, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.

While no release date is set, the new installment is set to debut in 2025. The series has already been renewed for a fourth season.

A new glimpse at Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has come out of New York Comic Con. The Paramount+ show is a prequel to the original series, following the exploits of Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and the crew of the U.S.S.

"He and Jim were talking, and they come to set, and Jim lets him hold his little camera that he built. And I remember talking to JJ, and he's like, 'I'm going to call you, I really want to have a conversation with you. And then he walks away. And Jim comes over and goes, 'I just booked your next job,'" she continued.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds can never repeat a mistake made by Star Trek: The Original Series. Strange New Worlds is a prequel to Tos, with the voyages of Captain Christopher Pike's (Anson Mount) Starship Enterprise taking place about 5-6 years before Captain James T.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' musical episode worked wonderfully thanks to two ingenious tricks woven into the characters and story. Written by Dana Horgan and Bill Wolkoff, and directed by Dermott Downs, with original songs composed by Tom Polce and Kay Hanley of Letters to Cleo, Star Trek's first-ever musical, "Subspace Rhapsody," may be the defining hour of Strange New Worlds. Not only did the "Subspace Rhapsody's" soundtrack top the Apple Music charts, but there have been singalong panels at WonderCon and IGN Live where audiences belted out the songs back to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' characters.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, episode 9, "Subspace Rhapsody," saw the Starship Enterprise investigate an unusual subspace fold.

The romance in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds which has proven to be controversial among fans is actually an established canon event from the 1960s. When the spin-off series of Star Trek: Discovery was revealed to be a prequel to the beloved 1960s era of Star Trek, many people were skeptical about the show's ability to capture the essence of Star Trek: The Original Series characters. However, Strange New Worlds quickly became a hit thanks to the portrayal of legacy Star Trek characters like Captain Pike (Anson Mount), Spock (Ethan Peck), Lieutenant Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), and Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush).

A romance between the younger versions of Lieutenant Spock and Nurse Chapel was introduced fairly early in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and the pairing received mixed reviews. Seeing a softer side of Spock was endearing to some, but others claimed it was out of character. Nurse...

I hope Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Celia Rose Gooding gets her wish for Ensign Nyota Uhura to meet Star Trek: Discovery's Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green). Star Trek: Discovery has concluded its fifth and final season, wrapping up the stories of Captain Burnham and the USS Discovery. Meanwhile, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 is in post-production for an expected 2025 premiere on Paramount+. Unless there's a big surprise, Strange New Worlds season 3 has no crossover with Burnham or Star Trek: Discovery, but could Burnham meet Uhura in Strange New Worlds season 4 or beyond?

Celia Rose Gooding inherited the role of a younger Uhura originated by Nichelle Nichols in Star Trek: The Original Series. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has given Uhura more agency and character depth than Tos or J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies, where Zoe Saldana played Uhura. Strange New Worlds has delved into Uhura's tragic backstory,...

It's widely accepted among Trekkies that no "Star Trek" series starts with its best foot forward. Almost every single series, from the 1960s all the way up to the Paramount+ era, has a rocky first season, presenting clumsy storytelling and strange character conceits that many Trekkies look back on with a wince. Generally speaking, a Trek series doesn't hit its stride until about season three. 

I will hasten to note that even when Trek shows are struggling through their "bad" seasons, they usually still feature strong characters and a dynamic setting, so a curious viewer will not have to endure years of bad TV before it gets good. They'll just have to endure some awkward writing until it gets excellent. If one wants to watch "Star Trek: The Next Generation," one could simply start with season 3, and then ask a Trekkie friend to recommend vital episodes from seasons one and two.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds can set up a romance that deserved better in Star Trek: The Original Series' movies. Strange New Worlds season 3 will pick up from season 2's finale cliffhanger, resolving the crisis Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and the USS Enterprise face with the Gorn. But as seen in a first-look clip of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 that premiered at San Diego Comic-Con, life goes back to 'normal' aboard the Starship Enterprise, which has Lt. Montgomery Scott (Martin Quinn), Aka Scotty, joining the crew.

Scotty made a surprise debut in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2's finale. An engineer aboard the USS Stardiver, Scotty was the lone survivor after his starship was attacked by the Gorn. Scotty crash-landed on Parnassus Beta, the next target of a Gorn occupation, where he met Captain Pike and the USS Enterprise's Away team.

I want Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 even more after a new behind-the-scenes photo shared by Jess Bush. Strange New Worlds season 3 has no set release date but is expected to premiere sometime in 2025 on Paramount+. Strange New Worlds is also renewed for season 4, with production scheduled for next spring. Strange New Worlds season 2's finale premiered on August 10, 2023, so it's already a very long wait for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3.

San Diego Comic-Con offered us a first look at Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3: A five-minute clip from a Vulcan comedy episode directed by Jordan Canning. Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), Lt. LA'an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong), Ensign Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), and Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush) were turned into Vulcans, to the chagrin of Lt. Spock (Ethan Peck). That was our last glimpse of...

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds star Anson Mount discusses a possible retcon of his iconic character's tragic fate.

Per ScreenRant, Mount opened up about the possibility of a return via retcon during a Q & A session alongside fellow stars Rebecca Romijn, Ethan Peck, Celia Rose Gooding, Carol Kane, and Melanie Scrofano. When asked about his character Captain Christopher Pike's future in the series, Mount responded quite carefully, noting, "I have to preface this by saying what we think doesn't really matter. It's not our wheelhouse. Its not our department." Mount added, "But I will say, we have not been with ourselves too specific about where we are in that particular timeline."

Anson Mount recalls recording Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' opening monologue while William Shatner was actually in space. As the Captain of the Starship Enterprise in Strange New Worlds, Mount is the latest to voice over Star Trek's classic opening speech, "Space... the final frontier..." over the show's opening credits. As fate would have it, Mount recorded the monologue on October 13, 2021, the day William Shatner went into orbit aboard Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin Ns-18 space flight.

Speaking to Moovy TV alongside his Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' cast mate, Rebecca Romijn, Anson Mount told the story of recording Star Trek's iconic opening monologue and how he took the time to recognize the serendipity of doing so while William Shatner was in space. Read Mount's quote and watch Moovy TV's interview video hosted by Johan Albrechtsen below:

Anson Mount: Its actually a good story because it wasnt a recording booth.

Anson Mount prefers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to stick with Captain Christopher Pike's established canon instead of deviating from the inevitable tragedy waiting for Pike in Star Trek: The Original Series. Less than a decade after Strange New Worlds, Fleet Captain Pike (Sean Kenney) suffers a horrific accident that leaves him disfigured and trapped in a wheelchair. Pike became aware of his future in Star Trek: Discovery season 2, and Chris was burdened by his existential crisis in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1.

Noting that the actors don't decide the direction of the show or their characters,...

Carol Kane was a surprising addition to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, but no one was more surprised to be offered the role of Commander Pelia than Kane herself. An Academy Award-nominee and two-time Emmy winner beloved for her roles in Taxi, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, The Princess Bride, and Wicked, Kane joined Strange New Worlds season 2 as Pelia, the new Chief Engineer of the Starship Enterprise and a member of the extremely-long lived Lanthanite species.

Melanie Scrofano, who plays Captain Marie Batel, reveals Anson Mount's Captain Christopher Pike was not the first to wear Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Captain's uniform. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds debuted new uniforms that differed from what Mount wore as Captain Pike on Star Trek: Discovery. Strange New Worlds updated the colorful Starfleet uniforms worn in Star Trek: The Original Series, which Strange New Worlds is a prequel to.

Ethan Peck jokes he wants a "battle to the death" between his Lt. Spock from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Zachary Quinto's Spock from J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies. Quinto and Peck inherited the role of Spock from the late Leonard Nimoy. Quinto's alternate Kelvin timeline Spock appeared opposite Nimoy's Prime Spock in Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness. On Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Ethan Peck plays the younger version of Leonard Nimoy's Spock in Star Trek's Prime timeline.
