Production
Bridging the gap between Discovery and the Original Series, Strange New Worlds revisits Captain Christopher Pike from the original Star Trek pilot and his time in command of the USS Enterprise. Aware of his fate in a devastating accident, Pike battles the knowledge of his lack of a future while trying to live life to the fullest as a leader and mentor to his crew.
Featuring a contemporary take on the original aesthetic, Strange New Worlds tells the stories of legacy characters in their developing years whilst introducing a new cast, expanding on enemies like the Gorn and taking bold creative risks in a more episodic format than other shows of it’s era.
Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers serve as showrunners for the series.

Girls Gorn Wild; Terrarium. Strange New Worlds S3E9 Review
There's weird stuff going on in an uncharted region of space, and the Enterprise needs a closer look. To figure out why gravity waves are being especially weird, the crew strip down a shuttle to make it light as possible, and keep the crew levels down to one pilot: Erica Ortegas. But all their caution isn't enough as a wormhole appears out of nowhere and sucks the the shuttle into a dangerous, far sway hellscape from which there is no escape. Writers: Alan B McElroyDirector: Andrew Coutts Erica Ortegas is one of the most under utilised characters in Strange New Worlds. Giving the sarcasm and being the annoying one who argues – a point they hammered home is a family trait earlier this season – she's often laid out as a star pilot and war hero, but the most focuses […]
Highly Illogical; Four And A Half Vulcans. Strange New Worlds S3E8 Review
When a local planet is in trouble, it's Enterprise to the rescue. Or usually would be, but it's a pre-warp civilisation and the no contact rule applies. But there's a loophole. The planet Tezarr runs on an energy system gifted by Vulcan explorers way before the Federation existed and now it's breaking down. Starfleet can't help, but Vulcan's barged their way onto the planet before those rules were made. They just need a few Vulcans to help... Writers: Dana Horgon & Henry Alonzo Myers Director: Jordan Canning One of the earliest released details for Season 3 was 'The Vulcan Episode' that would introduce the crew to Vulcan Logic the hard way. The set up for all of this is a little shaky. The pre-warp Tezzar planet has high levels of tech outside warp drive and with no Vulcans on […]
War. What is is good for?; What Is Starfleet?. Strange New Worlds S3E7 Review
Since the second episode of the season, Beto Ortegas has teased his documentary on Starfleet as a bit of an excuse to cosy up to Uhura and had previously invited himself onto an away mission where his camera's came in relatively handy. Having permission to film the inner workings of a top secret mission, Beto follows Pike and the crew through a questionable and dangerous adventure as he asks, What Is Starfleet? Writers: Kathryn Lyn & Alan B McElroy Director: Sharon Lewis Strange New Worlds hasn't been shy in playing around with different formats with mixed results. From fantasy adventures with the crew in different roles, to classic warfare drama's to modern(ish) day time travel and even a musical. There's been a lot of classic formats used and this time it's all from Beto's perspective through his camera feeds […]
Chasing Cars; The Sehlat Who Are Its Tail. Strange New Worlds S3E6 Review
Restless in the monotony of real space exploration, James Kirk is getting impatient for his chance to take the big chair and lead without the overt caution of his Captain during a routine survey mission. Until the monotonous mission suddenly falls into chaos when the planet comes under attack from a devastating weapon that tears the ship apart, leaving Commander Kirk without a captain and without a clue as the USS Farragut is torn to shreds. Writers: David Reed, Bill WolkoffDirector: Valarie Weiss Paul Wesley's interpretation of a young James Kirk has had it's moments despite technically not having that much screen time. His first two episodes were alternate realities and even in season three we've only had a transporter pattern used to test a holodeck instead of the real deal. So when we do get a look at a […]
“Only in a leap from the lion’s head, shall he prove his worth.”; Through the Lens of Time. Strange New Worlds S3E5 Review
It's been a season of big ideas so far with mixed results. But as we hit the Bon Jovi marker and get half way there, the season seems to hit a high note just by dialling it all down a touch with a story that could be boiled down to a simple puzzle.Roger Korby joins the crew again, leaning on them to help lead an expedition to some ancient and mysterious artefacts. Suspiciously similar to the final discovery he'd make as a human in the original series, he's found what's possibly a fountain of youth – a scientific idea telegraphed in it's fantasy with it's ritualistic sacrifice, or 'blood magic' – a sample of your blood – to enter. Once inside the expanded landing party realise they're not the first to find this ancient building as previous treasure hunters have […]
La’an Party; A Space Adventure Hour. Strange New Worlds S3E4 Review
Picking up a random assignment, La'an takes on the challenge of being the beta tester for a more domestic version of a training simulator to find out if the technology is viable for entertainment and training on board deep space assignments And of course, it all goes horrible wrong. Writers: Dana Horgan & Kathryn Lyn Director: Jonathan Frakes Opening with guest star Paul Wesley doing a Saturday Night Live level of parody of William Shatner, from the start we know there's nothing but shenanigans ahead. The setting is the USS Adventure, a not really starship thats home to a fictional 1960's drama. Though it's not the on screen performance that causes the problem. Behind the scene's there's conflict between unhappy cast members, producers struggling with their next career steps and of course some murder thrown into the mix that needs an […]
