This post contains spoilers for season 3 of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds."

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is not shy about lifting heavily from past "Star Trek" episodes. The series basically remade the classic episode "Balance of Terror" twice during its first season, first spiritually in "Memento Mori" and then literally in the season 1 finale "A Quality of Mercy."

"Hegemony," the two part episode that closed "Strange New Worlds" season 2 and opened season 3, had a cliffhanger and resolution that echoed the famous "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "The Best of Both Worlds." For the latest "Strange New Worlds" outing, "Through the Lens of Time," the series pulls from a less beloved "Tng" episode.

"Through the Lens of Time" guest stars Dr. Roger Korby (Cillian O'Sullivan), archaeologist and boyfriend of Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush). The Enterprise is assisting Korby...

The latest episode of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," called "Through the Lens of Time," sees the discovery of an impossibly ancient temple located underneath a mountain. Although its age is mind-boggling, the technology embedded in the temple still works. In order to gain access through its nostril-like entryway, Nurse Chapel (Jess Bush) has to insert her hand into a blood-extracting device. Ancient temples, ineffable technologies, and blood offerings all give "Through the Lens of Time" a Lovecraftian feeling. 

Inside, the crew find a series of small glowing glass orbs that contain something they can't identify. One of the orbs ends up bursting open, sending shards of glass -- and a mysterious energy of some kind -- flying into the eyeballs of Ensign Gamble (Chris Myers). Ensign Gamble's eyeballs are destroyed, but something...

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds reaches the halfway point of its third season with the fifth episode, “Through the Lens of Time.” What will become of Spock and La’an’s newly formed relationship? Will Dr. Korby’s previously established archaeological expertise become relevant to the plot? And will Beto ever get around to shooting that Federation documentary he brought up in “Wedding Bell Blues”?

We will explore these questions and many others as we take a deep dive into Strange New Worlds‘ Season 3’s fifth episode, “Through the Lens of Time.” This is your final spoiler warning if you haven’t yet watched this latest episode, so for everyone else, let’s get right down to it.

Spoiler Alert !!!The following contains Spoilers for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Episode 5 "Through The Lens of Time" What happens in Strange New Worlds Season 3’s “Through the Lens of...

Ever since news broke that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will conclude with a shortened fifth season, fans have been eager to know what’s next for the franchise. As it turns out, co-creator Akiva Goldsman and co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers already have a new series in mind that would pick up right where Strange New Worlds leaves off. The potential project, dubbed Star Trek: Year One, would take place during the first year of Captain James T. Kirk’s five-year mission.

Goldsman has previously told TrekMovie that the finale of Strange New Worlds will show Kirk’s first day in command of the Enterprise, but he feels that there’s some wiggle room between that moment and Where No Man Has Gone Before, the first episode of The Original Series to feature Kirk. “Strange New Worlds ends on Jim Kirk’s first day of work as captain of the Enterprise,...

Ken Foree plays an unforgettable role in one of the great movies ever made, the George A. Romero classic Dawn of the Dead (get it Here) – so it’s nice to hear (as reported by our friends at Bloody Disgusting) that the makers of the Paramount+ series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds decided to pay tribute to Foree in their recent, unexpected zombie episode! In the third episode of Strange New Worlds‘ third season, the crew of the starship Enterprise ventured to a planet that was overrun by zombie-like creatures – and this planet was called Kenfori! The Ken Foree reference even made it into the title of the episode: Shuttle to Kenfori.

Word of the tribute quickly made its way to Ken Foree himself, who posted on social media, “I know this is out there, but I wanted to share this with you as well. It’s an honor and...

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds costume designer Bernadette Croft explains how the series paid homage to William Shatner in its hit murder mystery episode.

Speaking to Variety, costume designer Bernadette Croft discussed the work that went into bringing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' recent murder mystery episode, "A Space Adventure Hour." Croft touched on shopping around for old homes to use for an on-location shoot, as well as putting together the cast's period-accurate outfits. "For Kirk [Paul Wesley], we thrifted the belt and the jeans, and we used some vintage vendors for his jacket and under layers," Croft said. "We wanted him to have that lived-in, James Dean, Shatner vibe: the classic every man, but still quite suave."

Former franchise star and Star Trek icon Jonathan Frakes, who directed the episode, also spoke about the experience. "We all had a ball," Frakes said. "First of all, we were on location,...

Turning Star Trek: Strange New World's crew into puppets is no easy feat.

During San Diego Comic-Con, Strange New World showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers talked to Entertainment Weekly about its boldest genre mashup yet and how long the process of puppet-ifying their show took.

According to Myers, "I wanna say there was easily more than six months of work on it," later going in-depth on the logistics of making this work for a large, live-action Star Trek set. "In production, we'd have long conversations with our director in mind, specifically about how to handle puppets.... We had to have a lot of conversations about making puppets. We had to have a lot of conversations about how to handle our crew, because we also have to have a whole crew of puppeteers. It's just like doing a very different type of episode, and it requires a lot of...

In the "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" episode "A Space Adventure Hour," Lieutenant LA'an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong) is asked to test out a brand-new technology on the U.S.S. Enterprise: a holodeck. As Trekkies can tell you, the holodeck is a dedicated room that can create artificial, fully interactive environments, complete with sophisticated NPCs, using holographic emitters, replicator tech, and carefully calibrated force fields. The technology was first introduced, in rudimentary form, in an episode of "Star Trek: The Animated Series" in 1974, although the concept wouldn't be codified until the first episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in 1987. That was when the term "holodeck" was first used. 

The holodeck became the source of many, many "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episodes thereafter. Many of the holodeck concepts were created by the late Trek writer Tracy Tormé. Because it could create simulated environments, the show could have a lot...

This post contains spoilers for "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" season 3, episode 4, "A Space Adventure Hour."

What would Spock do with a holodeck? This is the type of pie-in-the-sky theoretical question that has no doubt powered a thousand works of fan fiction and dozens of spec scripts, but until this week, it's not actually something "Star Trek" fans could answer. After all, the holodeck -- a sort of multipurpose virtual reality space fueled by imagination and powerful programming -- didn't exist in Gene Roddenberry's original 1960s "Star Trek" TV series.

That's never stopped "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" from getting creative before, though. In a season that's already added a new chapter to the history of the Gorn and confirmed a long-running theory about "The Original Series" scallywag Trelane, the natural next step is to somehow make a holodeck episode happen ... a century before holodecks were a thing. As such,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Episode 4 “A Space Adventure Hour.”] The latest episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is, in a word, fun. But such is the case for pretty much every episode of this Paramount+ series, which, since it premiered in 2022, has been one of the most entertaining shows on television. But with “A Space Adventure Hour,” Strange New Worlds goes so meta, with a low-budget knock-off Star Trek series within the episode, which introduces a prototype of the holodeck. La’an (Christina Chong) is tasked with testing it out, and she has Scotty (Martin Quinn) create a simulation based on a detective series, Amelia Moon. In it, La’an is the detective, while Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, Celia Rose Gooding, Babs Olusanmokun, Melissa Navia, Jess Bush, and Paul Wesley all play characters, crew members, executive producers, and the like from the aforementioned TV show, The Last Frontier.

Since “The Next Generation” first powered up the holodeck, “Star Trek” episodes have been able to use the fabled sci-fi device to create whatever environment someone can program. The conceit — thanks to replicator technology, holograms, and the suspension of disbelief — has given us a pipe-smoking Data playing Sherlock Holmes, Capt. Janeway starting a morally complex relationship with an Irish barman, and the creation of Vic Fontaine and his nightclub on Deep Space Nine.

Starfleet is in the early stages of developing the holodeck in the time of “Strange New Worlds,” and Season 3’s “A Space Adventure Hour” has the USS Enterprise beta testing the technology. The episode follows holodeck episode tradition, and in it, we see the cast take on new characters, new costumes, and more than a few wigs.

Anson Mount’s Capt. Pike tasks Christina Chong’s La’an to run the nascent program through the wringer to see how it holds up.

Earlier this year, Star Trek fans got the disappointing news that Strange New Worlds would be ending after a truncated fifth season. The news was almost worse, but for the creative team behind the show, a promise made was a debt unpaid, and they worked to bring the series to a satisfying conclusion. They discussed the show's final season with Collider's Steve Weintraub at this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con.

Co-showrunner Akiva Goldsman explained how the six-episode fifth season — which is four episodes shorter than a standard Paramount+ Star Trek season — was a compromise with the network. "The original messaging from the studio as we were done, they wanted us to be done after 4." He went on to add:

"We had made a commitment to the fan base, and to the narrative, that we would get right up against Tos [The Original Series], like we’d about it, because there are a lot...

Security alert! This article contains spoilers for season 3, episode 3 of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds." 

There are a whole bunch of amazing legacy characters on "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," ranging from Ethan Peck's take on the half-human, half-Vulcan Spock to Jess Bush's bubbly but brilliant Nurse Chapel, and that can make it a little tricky for the characters who are new to the franchise. It's a shame, too, because one of the very best characters in "Strange New Worlds" is also the most overlooked: Melissa Navia's Lieutenant Erica Ortegas. The helmsman of the U.S.S. Enterprise is a cool, confident pilot who can do amazing things, and unfortunately she's mostly taken a (metaphorical) backseat to the rest of the crew when it comes to screentime and storylines. 

While season 2 gave Ortegas fans more of the fabulous flier, it really wasn't enough. Thankfully the show's writers and producers listened,...

Paramount+ today announced that season four of its hit original series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will feature a puppet-themed episode, featuring U.S.S. Enterprise crew members as puppets created by the iconic Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. The episode is directed by Jordan Canning (Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock).

The reveal was made during today’s Star Trek universe presentation in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con International in San Diego, CA. Moderated by Star Trek legend Robert Picardo, the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds panel portion featured a conversation with co-showrunners and executive producers Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers, executive producer Alex Kurtzman, and cast members Rebecca Romijn, Ethan Peck, Jess Bush, Christina Chong and Paul Wesley.

In addition, the Hall H audience was treated to a surprise advance screening of the series’ upcoming new episode, “A Space Adventure Hour,” ahead of its debut this Thursday,...

Captain Pike has been turned into a puppet in the new teaser for the fourth season of “Star Trek: Strange New World,” which was shared with fans at San Diego Comic Con Saturday.

“Hit it,” Muppet Pike says in the new video — “hit it” being the thing he says when he wants the ship to go to warp speed — before confusedly adding, “You heard me say hit it, right? Spock? Anyone?”

“Did you go to season four without me?” he adds.

The trailer appears to hint at an upcoming episode that will feature the cast as puppets. There might have been an unexpected and terrible transporter accident,” said executive producer Akiva Goldsman at Sdcc. “Which might have had some unexpected felt-like effects.”

The puppet episode is directed by Jordan Cannings, and the puppets were created by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. The series is produced by CBS Studios, Secret Hideout...

A new teaser for the next season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds promises a Star Trek episode unlike any other. It offers a glimpse of Enterprise commander Captain Christopher Pike, who possesses the gravity-defying hair and dulcet tones of Anson Mount, but is otherwise...a puppet. The clip was revealed during the Star Trek panel at San Diego Comic-Con today. The fourth season of Strange New Worlds is now in production and is expected to be released next year on Paramount+.

The clip begins with dramatic music, focusing on the back of Pike's command chair on the Enterprise's bridge as it slowly pans around, revealing that the captain is now a somewhat hilarious puppet. His "hit it" catchphrase goes unheeded on the otherwise deserted bridge, and Pike soon becomes concerned that everyone else went to Season 4 without him. The Jim Henson-esque appearance of the puppet-Pike brings to mind "Smile Time,...

Star Trek: Strange New Worldsstar Martin Quinn has successfully taken on the role of an iconic Star Trek character. Quinn first appeared in the Strange New Worlds Season 2 finale as Montgomery “Scotty” Scott -- the chief engineer made famous by James Doohan in Star Trek and later played by Simon Pegg in the Kelvin Timeline movies.

The Scottish actor was made a series regular ahead of the third season of Strange New Worlds. Now, in a new interview with ScreenRant, Quinn is opening up about what makes it easier for him to play Scotty -- especially compared to another legendary Star Trek character.

“It’s not as bad as for Ethan [Peck], because I feel like Spock can't even put any hesitation in," Quinn said, "whereas I can kind of like scratch myself and ums and ahs, you know, lots of hesitation, but not as tricky."

"It's not as bad as for Ethan,...

Star Trek: Strange New Worldsactor Martin Quinn reveals the key reason he thinks playing Scotty is easier than Spock. The series streaming on Paramount+ follows the crew of the USS Enterprise years before Captain Kirk takes over command of the iconic Starfleet vessel. Quinn made his way onto the Enterprise in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3, as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, following in the footsteps of James Doohan and Simon Pegg playing the famous engineer.

In an interview with ScreenRant's John Orquiola, Quinn reveals he believes it's easier to play Scotty than Spock as an actor. He elaborates that Spock actor Ethan Peck has to deliver all of his lines quickly and precisely, whereas Quinn can hesitate on delivering some of his lines. Check out his quote below:

It’s not as bad as for Ethan, because I feel like, Spock can't even put any hesitation in, whereas I...

The new season of “Strange New Worlds” picks up right where the previous season left off, offering thrilling adventure where no one has gone before.

If you’re anything like me, you watch a little more TV than is probably good for you. The upshot for me with this problem is that I have a platform to share my thoughts on the best titles I watch on a week-in, week-out basis with readers. Not only does this give me an outlet for my thoughts, but it hopefully can be a help to confused cord-cutters in a world where streaming services are constantly bombarding viewers with more and more titles.

With that in mind, I wanted to share the best title I streamed this week. As may come as no surprise to anyone who knows me (or read my bio), I picked the new season of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,...

This article contains spoilers for the first two episodes of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" season 3.

Back in 2023, "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" closed out its second season with a cliffhanger, but the biggest surprise of that finale, "Hegemony," was the debut of future Enterprise chief engineer, Montgomery "Scotty" Scott. That character was played by James Doohan in the original "Star Trek" TV series and its spin-off films, and then by Simon Pegg in the Kelvin timeline "Star Trek" reboots.

In "Strange New Worlds," Scotty is played by newcomer Martin Quinn, the first actual Scottish actor to play Scotty. In "Strange New Worlds" season 3, Scotty/Quinn is now part of the main cast, but he's still not chief engineer just yet; that's his old professor Pelia's (Carol Kane) job. The second episode of season 3, "Wedding Bell Blues," revealed that's not the only thing that's different about this younger Scotty.

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is a more direct prequel to the original show than "Star Trek: Enterprise." Set less than a decade before "The Original Series," "Strange New Worlds" follows the U.S.S. Enterprise, captained by Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), who has some familiar faces already on the crew: Spock (Ethan Peck), Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush), and now Scotty (Martin Quinn).

"Strange New Worlds" is unafraid to call back (forward?) to classic "Original Series" episodes, even if the show still sticks (mostly) to "Trek" canon. For example, the show has brought back the reptilian Gorn as recurring villains, setting up Captain Kirk's (William Shatner) famous clash with a Gorn in the 1967 "Original Series" episode "Arena," and Lieutenant LA'an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong) is a descendant of the most infamous "Star Trek" villain, Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalbán).

The two-episode premiere of "Strange New...

While Star Trek: Strange New Worlds may be coming to an end with season 5, the showrunners want to see the continuing adventures of the USS Enterprise. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 is currently streaming on Paramount+, but it is already known that the show will end after its fifth installment.

The series follows Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and the crew of the Enterprise years before the events of Star Trek: The Original Series. As Pike's fate is already known, the commission will eventually go to James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley). The crew of Tos is being introduced a piece at a time, slowly inching towards the legacy show.

In an interview with ScreenRanti's Joe Deckelmeier, showrunners Henry Alonso Myers and Akiva Goldsman were asked about the future of the crew of the Enterprise after Strange New Worlds ends, and if some Tos stories would be retold with the new cast.

Spoilers for "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" follow.

When we last left the crew of the Starship Enterprise in "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" season 2 finale, "Hegemony," things weren't going too well. The vicious alien Gorn had abducted half of the bridge crew. War between Starfleet and the Gorn risked going hot. Captain Pike's (Anson Mount) lover Captain Marie Batel (Melanie Scrofano) was infected with Gorn hatchlings. Pike himself was paralyzed by indecision as the Gorn ships bore down on the Enterprise; Admiral April (Adrian Holmes) called the Enterprise back to the fleet, not leaving them time to rescue their shipmates. The ship's second in command, Una Chin-Riley (Rebecca Romijn), called for orders from the helm, but Pike didn't give them.

As chilling a place as that was to leave "Strange New Worlds" season 2, we should've known the Enterprise crew would rise to the job. Pike's silent freeze up was just a pause,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Episodes 1 “Hegemony Part II” and 2 “Wedding Bell Blues.”] The good news: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is just as fun as ever. There’s a reason it’s the most entertaining Paramount+ Trek series, and the beginning of Season 3 continues to show that. The bad news: Over the course of the first two episodes, Spock (Ethan Peck) and Chapel (Jess Bush) part ways when she goes off on her fellowship, then she returns with a new boyfriend Korby (Cillian O’Sullivan), the landing party escapes and is rescued from the Gorn — resolving the Season 2 finale — but Ortegas (Melissa Navia) is seriously injured and beginning to show the effects of her trauma, and Pike (Anson Mount) is facing losing Batel (Melanie Scrofano) due to the Gorn infection. Below, stars Jess Bush, Melissa Navia, Celia Rose Gooding, and Martin Quinn and executive producers Henry Alonso Myers and...

We sat down with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds stars Rebecca Romijn, Christina Chong and thenMartin Quinn and Jess Bush to talk about the ever-evolving world of Trek in Season 3 — and what makes this latest chapter one of the boldest yet. From stepping onto the legendary USS Enterprise bridge to slipping into those iconic uniforms, the actors share pinch-me moments from behind the scenes and their genuine love for the legacy they’re helping shape.

They reflect on what keeps Star Trek relevant after decades: its genre-bending storytelling, hope-driven missions, and character-first focus. Chong and Romijn discuss the shift back to “mission-of-the-week” episodes, their admiration for the set designers, and the ongoing challenge of playing flawed heroes who feel both powerful and vulnerable, while Quinn and Bush revel there is a Star Trek cast WhatsApp group, and how the show continues to evolve with more comedy, bold storytelling, and that brilliant “vintage future” aesthetic.

Star Trek fans have been waiting since August 2023 to see the exciting conclusion of the U.S.S. Enterprise’s battle with the villainous Gorn in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.It’s been almost two years since the cliffhanger finale, and now it’s finally getting close to the July 17 Season 3 premiere of the Paramount+ series, led by Anson Mount’s Captain Christopher Pike and his faithful crew.

Ahead of this week’s premiere, three new clips from the first two episodes of the third season of Strange New Worlds have been released. The clips can be found via Trek Movie’s YouTube page.

The Season Begins with the Thrilling Conclusion to the S2 Finale

At the end of Season 2, fans were left wondering what would happen to Captain Batel (Melanie Scrofano). The Captain had been infected by the Gorn on Pernassus Beta. Additionally, some of the crew members...

In the original Star Trekseries, James Doohan played Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, who faithfully served the U.S.S. Enterprise as its chief engineer. Now, Scottish actor Martin Quinn is taking on the role in Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Speaking with Trek Movie ahead of the Strange New Worlds Season 3 premiere, Quinn, who made his debut in the Season 2 finale titled "Hegemony," talked about how his version of Scotty differs from the one that fans may be familiar with from The Original Series and the movies in the franchise. "Well, you know, he's got a long way to go before he's the Scotty everyone knows and loves from Tos," the actor explained.

"And he’s got a lot of learning to do," Quinn continued. "And he's not quite the miracle worker, quite yet. And I think it's more interesting if he's not exactly what everyone has in mind in the future.

Paramount+ recently announced that its popular Star Trek: Strange New Worldswould be ending after its (shortened) fifth season. Ahead of the third season, which is set to premiere on July 17, one of the show’s stars is opening up about the show coming to an end and how the cast was told the mission would be over after five years.

Rebecca Romijn, who has played Una Chin-Riley, Aka “Number One,” since the start of the show in 2022, recently told Trek Movie how the cast of the series reacted to the news. “I think we’re very grateful to get to complete our five-year mission, which was the original plan,” Romijn began.

Romijn is Grateful for Five Seasons

“Not all series get five seasons. So, I think the fact that we know ahead of time and we’re able to wrap up all the storylines for everybody. I think we’re...

The second season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ended with a cliffhanger, with the central villains of the show gaining a slight upper hand over the Enterprise crew. After heading a forbidden mission, Christopher Pike is now tasked with saving his crew from imminent danger from the Gorn.

The third season will premiere on Paramount+ after a two-year gap from the season 2 finale. The cliffhanger has been on the audience’s minds since its airing, wondering whether some beloved characters will survive the Gorn attack. With a new batch of adventures and a resolution to the ending being revealed soon, here is a recap of season 2.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 5 will be the final season, but co-showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers hint that they'd like to do more after their Star Trek prequel ends. The highly anticipated Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 premieres July 17 on Paramount+ after a two-year wait. Meanwhile, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4 is currently filming, while the final season is slated to start production later this year.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3's world premiere was held at the Tribeca Film Festival. SlashFilm interviewed co-showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers on the red carpet. Regarding the announced end of Strange New Worlds and the future of the Star Trek franchise, Myers and Goldsman hinted that they want to make their version of Star Trek: The Original Series. Read their quotes below:

Henry Alonso Myers: I don't know. I know Alex [Kurtzman] is going to be doing 'Starfleet Academy.

After a two-year shore leave, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds returns to the screen, resuming its duties as the flagship of Paramount’s modern fleet. The series solidified its position by skillfully reviving the franchise’s foundational premise: a capable crew, led by the eminently decent Captain Christopher Pike, engaging in episodic exploration aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise in the years just before Kirk’s command. It became a fan favorite precisely because it remembered that a good space adventure didn’t always need to be a season-long referendum on the galaxy’s fate.

The third season continues this mission with a confident, almost casual swagger. It leans heavily into the playful, genre-hopping structure that has become its signature, delivering polished and often delightful installments. Yet, an unmistakable shift in narrative philosophy has occurred.

The show appears to have consciously unburdened itself of the allegorical weight that defined its own strongest episodes,...

Plot: In season three, when we reconnect with the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, still under the command of Captain Pike, they face the conclusion of season two’s harrowing encounter with the Gorn. But new life and civilizations await, including a villain that will test our characters’ grit and resolve. An exciting twist on classic Star Trek, season three takes characters both new and beloved to new heights, and dives into thrilling adventures of faith, duty, romance, comedy, and mystery, with varying genres never before seen on any other Star Trek.

Review: With the recent announcement that the fifth season of Strange New Worlds would be the last, Star Trek fans were preparing for the third season to resolve the cliffhanger ending of the show’s sophomore run back in 2023. With the introduction of Montgomery Scott in addition to a recurring role for James T. Kirk, the...

If you thought Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was done surprising you, think again. The hit prequel series that boldly brought back the retro charm of classic Star Trek with modern storytelling flair is officially returning for a third season, and trust us, it’s shaping up to be one hell of a ride. Whether you’re still recovering from that jaw-dropper of a Season 2 finale or just here to see more of Captain Pike’s perfect hair defy gravity, Season 3 is about to beam us right back into the action.

This isn’t just another starry-eyed space adventure. Strange New Worlds has carved out a niche all its own, balancing thoughtful sci-fi with heartfelt character arcs, witty dialogue, and those occasional, unexpected detours into musical episodes or romantic subplots that just work. And now, with the crew of the Enterprise facing bigger threats, deeper emotional stakes, and yes, even...

Ready to hit it one last time? Ahead of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 3 premiere on 17 July, and following the recent announcement of the sci-fi series' Season 4 renewal, Paramount+ has confirmed that the five-year mission of Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and the crew of the starship Enterprise is set to reach its conclusion right on cue with a fifth and final six-episode season.

With Season 4 of Strange New Worlds currently in production, presumably with the expectation of making a 2026 debut, Season 5 could hypothetically start shooting next year, clearing a path for the throwback adventure-of-the-week series to actually end in poetic fashion in 2027, five years after it began. At once a Trekkie dream prequel to Gene Roddenberry's original 60s Star Trek series and a perfect onboarding point for new fans looking to make their first warp jump into Trek, Strange New Worlds has already taken the crew of the Enterprise — Captain Pike,...

Following the announcement that Star Trek: Strange New Worldswill be ending after Season 5, one of the show’s stars is reacting to the news. The news that the fifth season will be the last for the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, led by Captain Christopher Pike, comes as Season 3 is set to premiere July 17, 2025 on Paramount+.

Paramount+ announced June 12 that Strange New Worlds had been renewed for Season 5 -- but also that Season 5 will be the show's final season. It's a very early decision on the show's fate, since Season 3 has yet to launch and Season 4 isn't expected until 2026. But actor Anson Mount, who plays Captain Pike, is already sharing his thoughts on the news.

Mount took to Instagram to express his gratitude for the series. In a post that pictured the actor in full Captain Pike uniform, complete with his signature hair, Mount wrote: “I grew up...

It is a real good news, bad news situation for fans ofStar Trek: Strange New Worlds. The good news is that the series has been renewed for Season 5 even before Season 3 debuts on Paramount+ on Jul. 17, 2025. The bad news is that Season 5 will be the final season for Strange New Worlds.

Variety confirms that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 5 will be the final season for the hit Paramount+ series. The final season will consist of six episodes instead of the traditional ten episodes of past seasons. Executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers, and Alex Kurtzman said in a joint statement that they were “deeply grateful to Paramount+ for the chance to complete our five-season mission, just as we envisioned it, alongside our extraordinary cast and crew.” The statement continued by saying:

"From the very beginning, 'Strange New Worlds' set out to honor what 'Star Trek' has always stood for — boundless curiosity,...

The voyages of the starship Enterprise will conclude after its five-year mission. Paramount+ previously announced that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been renewed for a fourth season, which is currently in production in Toronto, just as the details of the upcoming season three start to be revealed. The series is set to return on Paramount Plus with a two-episode premiere on July 17th. New episodes will drop weekly leading up to a September 11th season finale. Now, The Hollywood Reporter is confirming that the prequel series intends to end after a newly announced season 5.

Unfortunately, more updates state that the concluding year will be shortened to just six episodes. Executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers and Alex Kurtzman said in a joint statement, “From the very beginning, Strange New Worlds set out to honor what Star Trek has always stood for — boundless curiosity, hope and the belief that a better future is possible.

When Paramount+ launched in the U.S. and territories around the globe, it seemed the Star Trek franchise would thrive for the years to come.

But after the end of Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard, the more likely scenario is that these shows are too expensive in the current TV climate.

The streaming platform made the controversial announcement Thursday that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will also be decommissioned.

Fortunately, there’s some good news for fans.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 is set to premiere on Thursday, July 17, meaning fans still have three seasons of the series to go.

Three seasons’ notice is pretty neat for an end date announcement, and it sounds like there will be time to craft a conclusion.

The hit prequel series is set to return after a lengthy hiatus later this summer, picking up where Season 2 left off with Captain Pike on the edge of Federation space with half his crew held captive in enemy territory. It appears that all will be resolved when the series returns as each member of the crew — even those who were held hostage or even infected like Pike's (Anson Mount) girlfriend Batel (Melanie Scrofano) — are setting off on new adventures in the new trailer.

While the new footage certainly features its fair share of action, it primarily emphasizes the lighter, more hopeful aspects of the series with an opening voiceover from Rebecca Romijn's Number One, promising to bring "light,...
