We are a mere month away from the season three premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Paramount+. And it’s been a long wait for fans, as the 2023 Writer’s Guild Strike halted production of the third season. This resulted in a two-year delay since the season two cliffhanger ending. But on July 17, Captain Pike and the Enterprise crew return at last for new adventures exploring the Final Frontier. Paramount+ has released a series of all-new character posters for the season spotlighting the bridge crew. You can check them all out in our gallery below:
These images of the Strange New Worlds cast are very reminiscent of cover art for Star Trek novels of the ’70’s and ’80s. Back then, fans had to wait years between movies, and watch endless reruns of the original series on TV. So the novels thrived, giving Trekkers their regular fix of new adventures. Were they canon? No, but fans ate them up anyway. And many of those novels had groovy painted covers by iconic fantasy/sci-fi artists like Boris Vallejo. These Strange New Worlds posters give us all the retro feels.
Additionally, Paramount+ has also revealed the episode titles for all ten episodes of season three. “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail” appears to be Spock-centric, as a Sehlat was his pet on Vulcan as a child. Speaking of Vulcans, another episode is “Four-And-A-Half-Vulcans,” which is probably the episode previewed at Comic-Con last year, where the human crew is transformed into logical Vulcans. The final episode of the season is titled “New Life and New Civilizations,” which is of course part of the iconic opening spoken-word intro since the days of William Shatner. We’ll have to wait and see how it ties into the 60-year legacy of Star Trek.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season three premieres on Paramount+ with two episodes on July 17.
