Overview

  • Season 3 debuted July 17 on Paramount+ with back-to-back episodes and will release eight more installments each Thursday through September 11.
  • The premiere resolves the USS Enterprise’s cliffhanger confrontation with the Gorn species that closed out season two.
  • Episode 2 marks the onscreen arrival of Trelane, portrayed by Rhys Darby, and features John de Lancie’s voice as Q to cement the characters’ shared lineage.
  • Paramount+ confirmed that season 4 is already filming and that an abridged season 5 will conclude the series following layoffs earlier this year.
  • As the sole live-action Star Trek production currently underway, Strange New Worlds continues to anchor Paramount+’s franchise strategy with its blend of standalone genre stories and ongoing character arcs.
