'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 3 Teaser Released
It’s time for dinner, and Patton Oswalt and Rhys Darby are coming over
It’s been a bit quiet on the Star Trek front since the release of the Section 31 movie. On the Wars side Andor is getting ready to premiere its final season after Star Wars Celebration Tokyo, which is sure to bring exciting news about the future of that franchise, and its next Tales series, Tales of the Underworld, ready to release in full on May 4, Star Wars Day. On April 2, the Trek franchise and the show’s home streamer Paramount+ released the first teaser trailer for the third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which will premiere this summer on the streamer with the show’s standard length of 10 episodes.
The season’s logline reads that they “face the conclusion of season two’s harrowing encounter with the Gorn”. As always “new life and civilizations await, including a villain that will test our characters’ grit and resolve.” Called an exciting twist on classic Trek, the season takes characters both new and beloved to new heights, and dives into thrilling adventures of faith, duty, romance, comedy, and mystery, touting varying genres never previously seen, whether that’s a murder mystery, a romantic comedy, or a documentary-style episode. The trailer certainly demonstrates some of that “Hegemony” cliffhanger resolution, them appearing in what resembles a 1950s sci-fi serial, an unexpected morning-after romantic moment between Spock and Chapel, dinner time in Captain Pike’s kitchen, and a 1970s-style full-crew holodeck murder-mystery. There’s even Klingon zombies, and Pelia taking on an analog engineering challenge by running telephone wires through the ship, as Montgomery Scott, played by Martin Quinn, joins the crew. While some might dispute the holodeck use, Enterprise did have a holographic rec room, though the hope is it’s not an Earthborn ship. There’s a gala that appears to celebrated the centennial celebration of the United Federation of Planets with a three-armed Edosian bartender finally bringing a species previously only appearing in the ‘70s Star Trek animated series to the modern franchise. We even see guest stars Rhys Darby and Patton Oswalt, the latter a clear Vulcan.
