Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the Paramount+ series that follows the adventures of Captain Christopher Pike and his crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, has a premiere date for its third season. Trekkies will be able to stream new episodes on July 17th.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Season 3 of the hit Paramount+ series will run for ten episodes, with two episodes premiering on July 17th, followed by a new episode every Thursday until the season finale on September 11th. The show has a wide appeal for Trekkies since it tells the stories of Christopher Pike, who was the captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise before James T. Kirk. Familiar faces such as Spock, Nyota Uhura, and even not-yet-captain Kirk himself have been either regular characters or made special appearances.
What to Expect in Season 3
The teaser for Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds promises “ten new adventures, romance, mystery, and a touch of analog. This capitalizes on the show’s mixture of retro nostalgia for old Star Trek fans and modern sci-fi for the younger generations. After Season 2 ended in a cliffhanger where Batel’s body was implanted with eggs from the lizard aliens called the Gorn, fans will undoubtedly be awaiting her fate. The teaser also shows an additional appearance of Montgomery “Scotty” Scott, a fan favorite from the original Star Trek series.
Why Star Trek Endures
Various forms of Star Trek have existed since the 1960s, making it even older than Star Wars, yet like Star Wars, the universe has a staying power. It presents a hopeful vision of the future where multiple worlds and species can set aside their differences and work together. Despite how dark the universe can get sometimes, it still maintains its hope. In these times when the future is looking more and more uncertain, it can help to see a vision where humans are still around centuries from now.
Conclusion
The third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds looks to be a winner. It looks like it will serve up nostalgia for the original series while at the same time bringing in new fans and telling new stories. On July 13, Trekkies can once again boldly go where no one has gone before.
