The fourth season premieres on July 23.<\/p>\n
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is returning for its fourth and penultimate season on July 23<\/a> and we have a new trailer<\/a> to prove it. The footage should please fans of Star Trek: The Original Series and its follow-up movies, as there looks to be plenty of connectiions.<\/p>\n For instance, there’s a scene of Spock and Kirk further cementing their friendship. There also looks to be a scene in which Scotty and Uhura kiss, which is a callback (or call forward) to Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Incidentally, Uhura is rocking her 1960s hair in this scene, a first for the character in Strange New Worlds.\u00a0<\/p>\n The showrunners promise a slightly more serious season than the last batch of episodes, which were hit or miss<\/a>. However, the trailer does show the crew exploring some kind of medieval-type planet and there will be a puppet episode, so it won’t be entirely joyless.<\/p>\n \n For the uninitiated, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is a direct prequel to the 1960s series. It stars Captain Pike, who led the Enterprise prior to Kirk. It’s been renewed for a fifth and final season<\/a> which will likely end with Kirk taking the captain’s chair, setting up the original show.<\/p>\n This show airs on Paramount+, so you’ll have to decide if Star Trek is worth a subscription, especially when<\/a> considering the<\/a> company’s recent behavior<\/a>. In any event, this won’t be a moral quandary for long. Paramount is essentially sunsetting the franchise for the time being.<\/p>\n There’s currently no Star Trek in production for the first time in over a decade. The fifth season of Strange New Worlds and second season of Starfleet Academy will be the end of it. Incidentally, Starfleet Academy is pretty dang good<\/a> and didn’t deserve most of the hate<\/a> it got from the very online anti-woke brigade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The fourth season premieres on July 23.
