I know people are all about the Star Wars shows on Disney+, but I am a Star Trek girl. So, I was excited to see that Paramount+ finally announced when Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will debut its third season.
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.
If you are not familiar with the Star Trek universe, Captain Pike was featured in the pilot episode of the franchise, but that is where his story stops (after one more episode). So, SNW is the origin story of him running the Enterprise before Captain Kirk takes over. Therefore, you get to see a young Kirk, Spock, Zulu, and Uhura before we got to know them in the original series.
Along with the Enterprise’s first chapters being told, we also get to watch stories that only Star Trek can tell.
SNW debuts with two episodes on July 17th, and the season finale will air on September 11th.
