Star Trek: Strange New Worlds returns for its 4th season via Paramount Plus connected July 23. The 10 episodes aerial play until September 24. This is really nan second-to-last batch of episodes, arsenic nan show was precocious renewed for a 5th and last season.
The streamer has dropped a trailer for play 4 and it looks promising. The reside looks somewhat darker erstwhile compared to play three, which was maligned for being a spot excessively silly and uneven. The trailer is narrated by Anson Mount's Captain Christopher Pike, who discusses nan "terror" of abstraction arsenic a satellite explodes.
This is still Strange New Worlds, truthful it won't beryllium each punishment and gloom. The trailer shows america a screeching alien dinosaur, which is beautiful fun. There person besides been reports that play 4 will characteristic a puppet episode pinch engagement from Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
This caller batch of episodes will thin moreover heavier into connections to nan original Star Trek show from nan 1960s. Paul Wesley's type of Captain Kirk features prominently successful respective scenes, pinch 1 looking for illustration a nonstop callback to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. A younger Scotty besides makes an appearance.
For nan uninitiated, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is simply a prequel to nan first show and starts respective years earlier Kirk takes complete arsenic skipper of nan Enterprise. It's been said that nan bid will extremity pinch Kirk taking nan large chair. It's besides chiefly an episodic series, pinch nary existent serialized season-long arcs. It's beautiful good!
It's besides ending successful nan adjacent future. Season 5 will presumably premiere adjacent twelvemonth and will see conscionable six episodes. As a matter of fact, it looks for illustration nan modern incarnation of Star Trek is ending successful totality. Sets are being taken down and location are presently no caller shows successful production for nan first clip successful a decade.
This is simply a bummer, even if I didn't ever love immoderate of nan newer content. The upcoming 2nd play of Starfleet Academy will beryllium its last, which is exceptionally sad because it was really beginning to occurrence connected each cylinders. It was 12 years betwixt nan last section of Star Trek: Enterprise and nan first section of Star Trek: Discovery, which kicked disconnected nan modern era. Who knows really agelong we'll person to hold this time.
