Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3
In Strange New Worlds Season 3, the genre-hopping adventures of the U.S.S. Enterprise crew under the command of Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) continue. But not until the cliffhanger from the Strange New Worlds Season 2 finale, “Hegemony,” gets resolved!
The series also features Rebecca Romijn (Una Chin-Riley), Christina Chong (La’an Noonien-Singh), Carol Kane (Pelia), Martin Quinn (Montgomery “Scotty” Scott), Jess Bush (Christine Chapel) and Ethan Peck (Spock). Recurring guests include Paul Wesley (James T. Kirk), Dan Jeannotte (Sam Kirk), Rong Fu (Jenna Mitchell) and Melanie Scrofano (Marie Batel). And this season will also see the introduction of Beto (Mynor Luken), Roger Korby (Cillian O’Sullivan) and Doug the Vulcan (Patton Oswalt). And that’s not to mention Rhys Darby as a very familiar character…
The first two episodes of Strange New Worlds Season 3, “Hegemony, Part II” and “Wedding Bell Blues,” are now available for streaming on Paramount+. And the remaining eight episodes of the season will debut weekly on Thursdays.
