For a while, Paramount kept Star Trek fans in the dark about when the next season of Strange New Worlds would grace their TV screens. Now that we know it’s coming back in a month, it’s time we get an idea of what the U.S.S. Enterprise will be up to, and this latest trailer does not disappoint.
Scenes featured in the trailer include Spock doing science with Nurses Chapel and M’benga, Uhura flirting with Ortegas’ brother (and at a dance party, no less!), the crew preventing an invasion, and by extension, Kirk getting to captain the Enterprise in Pike’s stead. These new adventures come after Pike’s chosen to save his crew left behind on the Gorn ship at the end of season two, and while most of it looks like a fun time, the synopsis teases “new life and civilizations, including a villain that will test our characters’ grit and resolve.”
Never a dull moment for the Enterprise crew, or for Strange New Worlds fans. Earlier this week, Paramount unveiled the season’s episode titles, which are as follows:
- Hegemony, Part II
- Wedding Bell Blues
- Shuttle to Kenfori
- A Space Adventure Hour
- Through the Lens of Time
- The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail
- What Is Starfleet?
- Four-and-a-Half Vulcans
- Terrarium
- New Life and New Civilizations
The good news is, they won’t have to wait on pins and needles wondering if the show will go on, since it’s getting a fourth season that’s currently filming. Strange New Worlds returns to Paramount+ on July 17 with “Hegemony, Part II” and “Wedding Bell Blues,” followed by new episodes every Thursday through September 11.
