Anson Mount in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

The following contains Star Trek: Strange New Worlds spoilers

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Episode 1

As the Star Trek franchise has expanded in recent years, so has the debate about what these series are supposed to be and do. What makes a show quintessentially Star Trek ? What kinds of stories are these properties meant to tell? After all, in the year 2022, the world seems more divided than ever before, reeling from the lingering effects of a global pandemic, rising inflation, and a political environment that seems targeted to anger the worst in us, rather than exhort us to be our best.

Our entertainment is increasingly bleak, often full of edgy anti-heroes, disheartening conspiracy theories, grim monsters, and dangerous technology. Even Star Trek has dipped its proverbial toe into darker narrative waters, with both Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Discovery frequently wrestling with much more complex themes and nihilistic stories than any of their predecessors did (with varying degrees of success).

In light of all this, is it incredibly naive to still believe in Gene Roddenberry’s vision of a future where humanity has conquered its worst impulses in the name of becoming its best self? That we might one day all actually be able to boldly go together into a better, more perfect future? Or given, well, everything happening around us, is his determined message of hope and a belief in a better tomorrow somehow more necessary than it’s ever been?

Ad – content continues below

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds appears to be the franchise’s attempt to answer that question, a big-hearted, rollicking return to the foundational principles of the show that started it all, firmly grounded in the deeply personal story of the captain at its center. It is joyous, impeccably cast, and (something I haven’t regularly said about Star Trek in some time) incredibly fun to watch. From its off-handed callbacks and Easter Eggs to its thoughtful character dynamics and gorgeous visuals, everything about this show reflects the care that has been put into creating it. And if we are going to trust the U.S.S. Enterprise to anyone, who better than some obvious fellow nerds who clearly love it as much as we do?

Yes, the premiere episode “Strange New Worlds” has an awful lot of set-up lot to do, but the series’ introductory hour never drags or feels bogged down by its expository duties. The series pilot initially picks up with everyone we originally met on Discovery, and where their stories have gone post-Season 2 finale . Captain Pike (Anson Mount) is in Montana wrestling with the foreknowledge of a future that includes radiation disfigurement, paralysis, and physical agony; Spock’s (Ethan Peck) getting engaged to a woman who seems way much cooler than he is on Vulcan; and Number One (Rebecca Romijn) is a workaholic on a first contact mission with the U.S.S Archer .

It is her disappearance on that mission that brings Pike and the Enterprise crew back to space a bit earlier than originally scheduled; they’ve got to find her and bring her home. It’s also an easy excuse to introduce us to the rest of the series’ main cast, which includes a mix of new and familiar classic faces (or, well, at least characters whose names we’ve heard before).

There’s Cadet Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), the show’s new take on a younger version of the iconic Star Trek: The Original Series character, here presented as a young woman fresh out of Starfleet Academy and a linguistic prodigy who is clearly deeply excited about all the adventures that await her. Dr. M’Benga (Babs Olusanmokun)—a character who appeared in all of two episodes of The Original Series but still! —is running things in sickbay alongside Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush) whose demonstrable smarts and ability to think outside the box indicate she’s likely going to have much more to do on this series than pine after Spock.

New security officer La’an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong) has a familiar name and a dark history of her own, and though feisty helmsman Erica Ortegas (Melissa Navia) has little in the way of defining characteristics as yet she at least seems pretty fun. While we may not know much about most of these people as yet, the show nevertheless quickly establishes the larger group’s chemistry as easy and believable.

But it’s impossible to talk about why Strange New Worlds works so well without talking about Anson Mount, whose central performance as Captain Christopher Pike remains as note-perfect as it was when he was guest-starring on Discovery . There are moments where it feels like we all essentially willed this entire show into existence simply because his casting in this role is so perfect, and I’d like that to be true because, whew, y’all we were right . Aggressively normal in all the best ways and bursting with everyman charm, Pike blends the best of classic Trek nostalgia with more modern sensibilities, resulting in a leader who is as skilled at empathy, kindness, and consensus-building as he is fighting.

I’ve written elsewhere at some length about why this Pike is so necessary and important in the Star Trek universe, and I’m happy to tell you that Strange New Worlds has fully leaned into this interpretation of the character, refusing the temptation to turn his story into a dark tragedy but instead embracing the idea that his journey is ultimately one of self-determination and hope. After all: If nothing we do matters—then all that truly matters is what we do. In the end, if Original Series episode “The Menagerie” is always going to be waiting for him no matter what, then the true question Pike must answer isn’t how to feel about that fate, but what he’s going to do with the time that’s been given to him until it comes to pass.

There are certainly plenty of interesting places to take that sort of story: Will Pike make riskier choices simply because he knows that he is not going to die on a random away mission? Will he make less dangerous decisions because while he can essentially guarantee his own safety he can’t say the same for his crew? Or will he do his best to let his shipmates—and those they come into contact with—find their fates for themselves?

Strange New Worlds may clearly be setting itself up to tell easily digestible weekly adventures—and I think there is certainly space within this franchise of space shows for one that just wants to roam the galaxy in search of new cultures and cool aliens. But after watching this pilot, it seems clear that it’s also inevitably going to be a story about the nature of fate and the consequences of the choices we make—for ill, yes. But also, inexorably and relentlessly for good. Because goodness—the idea of being a good person, of doing good in the world—is still something we have to choose to do every day.

“Perhaps somewhere all your ends are written as indelibly as mine. But I choose to believe that your destinies are still your own,” Pike tells the warring factions of Kileans, as part of an uplifting speech about why they don’t have to tear themselves apart the way those on Earth did once. “Maybe that’s why I’m here. To remind you of the power of possibility.”

In the end, that seems to be nothing so much as a mission statement for Strange New Worlds writ large: That it is always better to travel hopefully, to lead with empathy, and to believe that our better angels can carry the day, in the end, even if we have to bend the rules a little bit along the way to help them do so. To remember why we fell in love with this franchise in the first place and the simple powerful message it still carries. In hope, all things are possible.

So, as Captain Pike himself would say: Hit it.

Premise [ ]

The official announcement stated that "the series will follow Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock, and Number One in the decade before Captain Kirk boarded the USS Enterprise , as they explore new worlds around the galaxy." [1]

Executive Producer and Co-creator Akiva Goldsman told Variety , " We're going to try to harken back to some classical 'Trek' values, to be optimistic, and to be more episodic. Obviously, we will take advantage of the serialized nature of character and story building. But I think our plots will be more closed-ended than you've seen in either Discovery or Picard . ... I imagine it to be closer to The Original Series than even DS9 . We can really tell closed-ended stories. We can find ourselves in episodes that are tonally of a piece. " [2]

When talking to Deadline on 16 August 2020 Co-executive Producer Alex Kurtzman elaborated, " I think Strange New Worlds , under the guidance of [showrunners] Henry Myers and Akiva Goldsman, it's going to be a return in a way to TOS [ Star Trek: The Original Series ] . We are going to do stand-alone episodes. There will be emotional serialization. There will be two-parters. There will be larger plot arcs. But it really is back to the model of alien-of-the-week, planet-of-the-week, challenge-on-the-ship-of-the-week. With these characters pre-Kirk's Enterprise ... I think what people responded so much to in all three characters is this kind of relentless optimism that they have. And that they are at the young phase of their careers. " [3]

Production history [ ]

When the news of showrunner Alex Kurtzman 's five-year Star Trek development deal with CBS All Access was announced on 19 June 2018, a show dealing with Christopher Pike, Spock, and the USS Enterprise was not considered for inclusion in any Star Trek line-up. [7]

Star Trek: The Original Series characters, Christopher Pike , Number One , and Spock , were introduced for season two of Discovery and were signed only for that season. [8] [9] It prompted Anson Mount to quip with a "#WillActForFood" hashtag on his Twitter account, making it known that he and Spock performer Ethan Peck were on the job market again shortly after live-action production on season two had wrapped. [10] Following the positive reception to the second season of Star Trek: Discovery , fans circulated a petition in support more appearances of Mount as Captain Pike and Peck as Spock, including the idea of a full new series. [11] Mount expressed support for the fan petition, stating he felt "humbled and deeply touched by this amount of love" in an 14 April 2019 Facebook entry. [12] [13] Peck also expressed interest in returning to the role of Spock. [14]

Mount, Romijn, and Peck reprised their roles in three late 2019 season two episodes of Star Trek: Short Treks .

Inception [ ]

In January 2020, Kurtzman confirmed he and Akiva Goldsman were having "active conversations" about a new series involving the crew of the Enterprise . [15]

On 15 May 2020, CBS announced a new series "based on the years Captain Christopher Pike manned the helm of the USS Enterprise ." [16] The announcement included that Strange New Worlds would feature Anson Mount as Captain Pike, Ethan Peck as Spock, and Rebecca Romijn as Number One, all reprising their roles from the second season of Star Trek: Discovery .

Development [ ]

TRR : " Hide and Seek " presented " The Cage " as the pilot to this series, as opposed to Star Trek: The Original Series .

Prior to its premiere, Paramount+ specifically suggested that viewers could prepare for the launch of the new series by checking out the following DIS Season 2 episodes:

Episode 1 - " Brother "
Episode 8 - " If Memory Serves "
Episode 12 - " Through the Valley of Shadows "
Episode 14 - " Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2 "

StarTrek.com presented its own list of episodes to watch before the premiere. In addition to the aforementioned Discovery episode "Through the Valley of Shadows", this list of original series episodes served more as a primer for familiarizing or refamiliarizing viewers with the series' cast:

" The Menagerie, Part I "+" The Menagerie, Part II "
" Space Seed "
" Journey to Babel "
" Mirror, Mirror "
" The Deadly Years "
" A Private Little War "

Promotion [ ]

Products [ ]

In March 2021 , Eaglemoss/Hero Collector 's Star Trek Universe: The Official Starships Collection premiered at retail. A new starship miniatures partwork and product line, it would have featured Strange New Worlds starships, combined with ships from Star Trek: Discovery (after the release of issue 33 of the DIS partwork ) and Star Trek: Picard . The line's manager indicated that CGI assets of SNW's starships had not yet been received from the show's producers, as of February 2021, which was not that surprising as actual production on the new series had yet to start at that point in time. [17]

Eaglemoss' bankruptcy on 5 August 2022 thwarted all intents to release Strange New Worlds starships and none were, save one. Replicas of Pike's USS Enterprise though, had previously been produced by the company as part of the Discovery partwork collection, as it had already debuted in that series.

‘Maxton Hall’ Smashes Viewership Records on Prime Video

Harry jowsey’s secret relationship was impacted by his 'dancing with the stars' partner, 'doctor who' season 1 episode 6 recap: finally, the gay 'bridgerton' we deserve.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is back this week with bold new episodic storytelling that runs the full gamut of genres and themes. Set in the years leading up to the events of Star Trek: The Original Series , Strange New Worlds showcases the thrilling adventures of the U.S.S. Enterprise under the leadership of Captain Pike ( Anson Mount ). Season 2 sees James Kirk ( Paul Wesley ) play a much larger role than he did in Season 1, bringing the series closer to the events that Star Trek fans are very familiar with, while still presenting brand-new, fresh takes on the beloved crew of the Enterprise .

Ahead of the premiere of Season 2, Collider had the opportunity to chat with Strange New Worlds ' showrunners Henry Alonso Myers and Akiva Goldsman to about where the series is headed with the Gorn threat, the highly anticipated Lower Decks crossover , what it was like to film in the middle of downtown Toronto, and what they have up their sleeves for Carol Kane 's fascinating new character.

COLLIDER: So I really love the way that Strange New Worlds does the episodic handling of the ensemble, letting each character really shine in the episodes, and I think Season 2 really excels at what Season 1 already did really well. But in the premiere, we get this little tease of the Gorn War, and then it kind of takes a backseat for the rest of those first six episodes that we've seen. Is this something that audiences should be keeping in the back of their minds as they navigate through Season 2?

HENRY ALONSO MYERS: We will address the Gorn. That's all I'm gonna say.

Excellent. I absolutely love Paul Wesley as Kirk, I think that is exceptional casting, but I'm curious, what has it been like bringing this iteration of the character to life? Do you have a cardinal rule that you keep in mind as you're developing the character or little hallmarks that you want to make sure you meet as you bring this character into the story?

AKIVA GOLDSMAN: Well, first, I want to know why you have a Strange New Worlds tote bag that I don't have. [Laughs] It's our sort of interpolation game, right? We sort of know, as Henry said just last interview, where he ends up, and so what we do is we take some liberties with how he got there, and that, for us, is really fun. It's a very different kind of storytelling. The end for all our characters is written, you know? Now that's fascinating because endings are really hard, like when you're writing something, the worst part is the ending, right? Anybody can start anything, it's the ending that's hard, but it's also in the end that the piece has meaning. So it's a very complicated but interesting sort of hat, sort of a smoke and mirrors trick to try to create suspense and to create an open-ended character narrative when you actually know where it's going. So our hallmarks are where it ends and the little bits we know from canon that we can either take in or sort of body English around with.

When you're approaching canon, there's so much in the Star Trek canon, especially with the mixed media of comics and tie-in novels and all of these little things. Are you ever focused on trying to pull in from some of these other areas as you're building these characters, or is it more just focused on the original series, what we have from Discovery , and those aspects?

GOLDSMAN: I'm gonna let Henry answer, I’m just gonna say one thing; for the purposes of Star Trek as an institution, if that makes any sense, nothing that has not appeared on screen is canon. So the way it works is, for TOS, it's actually five seasons because it includes the animated show, but unless it's appeared on screen, it's technically not canon, it's secondary reference material.

MYERS: I mean, we discuss it internally, and it comes up, and we think about it, but I think it's important for our show that it's a show that people who love and know every aspect of Trek will enjoy it, and people who have never seen a single moment of it will enjoy it. We really don't want to alienate. And I think it's actually sort of an interesting idea because I think this focuses on how we approach character, which is to say, yes, we know where they're gonna go; yes, we have an idea because we've been told where they come from, but the characters don't know where they're gonna go, and so that's how we approach them. We approach them like they're real people who are experiencing actual emotional moments that we wanna see because we're also thinking very hard about, like, what are we gonna give Paul Wesley to do? What's the experience he's gonna have as an actor? We really want to do that because we don't wanna just have him in and do quotes from other series and then push him out, we want to have him be a character in the moment. And, you know, this is a younger Kirk, we get to show that.

And it's a very fun Kirk. I have to say, that episode on Toronto is very fun, and I did want to ask about that episode specifically. I know that filming off-world scenes can have their own challenges, whether you're filming in-studio or on location, but what was it like filming Star Trek in the middle of downtown Toronto?

GOLDSMAN: I'll answer differently, which is, we didn't mean for it to be. We wrote it for New York, right? We were gonna do this giant spectacle and take the show to New York, and we quickly realized we could not afford it. So then we went through the process of doing that thing that everybody does, which is, well, how do we make Toronto look like New York? And then we sort of thought, “Huh, why don't we just let Toronto be Toronto?” And that was fun for us and probably lower impact on the city than you might imagine. So, you know, I don't think it was like trying to film Star Trek in Times Square.

MYERS: But it also became an interesting gift for our director, who came from Toronto and really knew it, and everyone who works on the show, who all know Toronto very deeply, and had a chance to kind of give it a look and a feel that made it feel a little bit different and more recognizable to people who knew that area of the world.

Oh yeah, it was so fun to see it when the first trailer dropped, and everyone was like, “Oh my gosh, those are Toronto businesses, those are Toronto restaurants!” You recognize these hallmarks, and I think it's fun because Toronto almost always plays for New York or DC or sometimes Los Angeles, and so to let the city be itself was a fun treat. I have a lot of friends who are fans of Star Trek who are in Toronto, so it was very fun for them to see their city as part of it.

MYERS: One of the only unique challenges we had, that we've never had literally in the VFX work that we do across the show, is there are sections of Toronto that we invent, and you wouldn't know that it's not real until you see it, you know what I mean? That was a unique challenge for that show that made it completely different from all the other ones.

Akiva, you mentioned the animated season of The Original Series , which makes me think about, you know, we're going to get this crossover with Lower Decks , which is an animated series. How did that come about? Were there any really unique challenges with bringing those characters into live-action?

GOLDSMAN: Oh, it was so insanely hard! It's hilarious how hard the episode was because it seemed like such a good, easy idea. What was really hard about it was tone, you know? It's not what you think is hard about. Like, what you think is hard is, “How are the animated people and the live-action people–?” That's not a problem. It turns out people have been doing that for a really long time. But how do you marry the canonical world of Lower Decks with the canonical world of Strange New Worlds ? It was…holy–

MYERS: [Laughs] It was, yeah, it was. I mean, at the end of the day, it was fun. It was just more like trying to get all the pieces in place. It took a lot of doing, and there were so many people that we wanted to be happy with it and to try to bring into it. I mean, Jack [Quaid] and Tawny [Newsome], primarily because we wanted to show them in person, and so figuring that out was complicated, doing design work with them was complicated. Weirdly, doing the animation was not. He was totally right.

So going off of the question of tone, each episode kind of has its own essence, its own flavors, so can we expect more of a Lower Decks flavor from that episode in terms of tone?

GOLDSMAN: Well, I would say more of, but we're still our own show, you know what I mean? It's a Strange New Worlds episode, not a Lower Decks episode, which… maybe we should try it next season. [Laughs] But it's an episode with Lower Decks boarding.

MYERS: I mean, I would say the supplies, like we're talking about all the other characters, which is to say, if you've seen Lower Decks before, you will be delighted by all the stuff we put in it. If you haven't seen Lower Decks , you will think, “Oh, this is the fun, crazy animated episode where they connect with the different parts of our universe in a way that can be a total surprise to them.”

I'm very excited for it! I think there should be more fun little crossovers like that between the shows. While I still have a little bit of time, I did want to ask about bringing Carol Kane in. I think her character is so fun, and the way she is used is so fun. Was that character designed for her, or did it evolve? What was the inception of that character because it's very fun?

MYERS: Well, we had an idea for the character. We wanted a character who just had a different look and feel from who that character has been in the past. And as we were sort of looking around for the right person, our casting people were like, “What about Carol Kane?” Then I think it was one of those ones where Akiva and I looked at each other, and we were like, “That seems like a great idea.” She ended up being sort of perfect for it. I mean, she's amazing. I don't know what to say other than it's no big surprise that she's very good.

GOLDSMAN: It's like a gift for us. We were like, “Seriously?”

MYERS: “You wanna be in our space show? You wanna see things blow up?” [Laughs]

Can we expect her character to have her own episode, as well, or is she more to kind of back up to a lot of the other stories being played out?

MYERS: I mean, this season, she is a crucial member of the cast. She does have some connected stories. You know, I'm not gonna say any more about the future other than to say we will try to use Carol Kane many ways, and we hope you will enjoy it.

Strange New Worlds season 3 filmed from December 2023 to May 2024, wrapping just before the Memorial Day weekend. With most of the top directors from Strange New Worlds season 2 like Chris Fisher, Jonathan Frakes, Dan Liu, and Valerie Weiss returning, Strange New Worlds season 3 will continue to take the "big swings" that made the Star Trek prequel series a hit with critics and audiences. In April, Paramount+ gave Star Trek: Strange New Worlds an early season 4 renewal.

On his Instagram, Anson Mount (@ansonmount), who plays Captain Christopher Pike on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds , said goodbye to Canada for now, but indicated when he would return to film Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4 , saying, "We’ll see you again in the spring when “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” goes back into production for Season 4!" Check out his post below:

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2's finale nailbiter brings back the fearsome Gorn and ends with Captain Pike facing an impossible choice.

When Will Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 & 4 Release?

Strange new worlds season 4 could tie into star trek's 60th anniversary.

Anticipation is high for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 , but now that filming is over, months of post-production work has begun to complete the next 10 episodes. Paramount+ likely won't release Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 until some time in 2025. However, if filming for Strange New Worlds season 4 starts in Spring 2025 as Anson Mount says, then Strange New Worlds season 3 may premiere before that. After all, it takes about 5-6 months to film a season of Strange New Worlds , and the cast will need to be available for press and media to promote Strange New Worlds season 3 to coincide with its premiere. Therefore, it's possible Strange New Worlds season 3 could drop early in 2025.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ' cast will likely begin their media promotion for season 3 at events like San Diego Comic-Con in July, Star Trek Day in September, and New York Comic-Con in October.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4 would then likely release in 2026, which puts it in an advantageous position. 2026 is the 60th anniversary of Star Trek . Strange New Worlds happens to have the USS Enterprise and the young Lt. James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley), Lt. Spock (Ethan Peck), Ensign Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), Scotty (Martin Quinn), and Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush) aboard. There would likely be an episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4 designed to celebrate Star Trek' s past (and future), tying in to the franchise's 60th-anniversary milestone. Regardless, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ' cast will enjoy a break of several months before donning their Starfleet uniforms and reboarding the Starship Enterprise for season 4.

Reshoots are part of the marvel studios method, marvel studios is currently course-correcting, the film already sounds promising.

Reshoots are a standard part of Marvel Studios' method to refine films before release.
Marvel Studios is currently course-correcting and prioritizing quality over quantity.
The upcoming Captain America film, Brave New World, already sounds promising with ties to past films.

Chris Evans ' time as Captain America may have ended after Avengers: Endgame , but the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise will continue with Anthony Mackie taking over in its fourth entry, now titled Brave New World . The 2025 film follows Sam Wilson after the events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series, with his first proper outing after taking over the mantle. Julius Onah is on the film as its director, with several notables appearing in the film, including the return of Tim Blake Nelson as The Leader, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, and Harrison Ford taking over the role of General Thadeus "Thunderbolt" Ross from the late William Hurt.

In recent months, reports have revealed that the Marvel Studios film is undergoing extensive reshoots that will last 22 days and add new action sequences after poor test scores. Marvel Studios also tapped Matthew Orton to write new material for the reshoots before filming restarted in Atlanta. The writing appears to be on the wall for many fans that the upcoming MCU film will not deliver as Marvel Studios hopes it does to recapture its audiences. Here's why fans should be more optimistic about the reshoots, like Captain America himself.

Captain America: Brave New World Must Address A Key Secret Invasion Storyline

Captain America: Brave New World sets up the Marvel Cinematic Universe's future, but can't ignore this one previous storyline from Secret Invasion.

Over the years, more has emerged regarding Marvel Studios' unprecedented success and their behind-the-scenes methods. It may shock some fans that the MCU isn't as planned out as they thought and is constantly evolving with the creative process. Part of Marvel Studios' approach to filmmaking is continuing to work on a film right up until its release to deliver the strongest product possible.

This often leads to plenty of reshoots in the months and weeks leading up to a film's release in theaters. For instance, Deadpool and Wolverine recently went through a round of reshoots ahead of the film's July release date. Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: No Way Home are other recent Marvel films that did more filming after their initial principal photography. Marvel Studios often plans for reshoots to take place before principal photography begins. While it can lead to increasing budgets, Marvel Studios has always done as much as possible to make films as good as possible. This doesn't always pan out with films like The Marvels still resulting in disappointment. However, it is still encouraging that the studio won't abandon the project if the quality isn't up to standard early on in post-production, and this bodes well for Captain America: Brave New World .

The MCU Needs to Avoid This Major Avengers Mistake in the Multiverse Saga

Even if he doesn't have superpowers, the Marvel Cinematic Universe needs to properly utilize Sam Wilson's Captain America in the Multiverse Saga.

Marvel Studios is also in a much different position than in the past. The studio is well aware that recent projects haven't lived up to the quality fans have come to expect, so it is reducing the number of projects produced and focusing more on the tasks at hand, like Captain America: Brave New World . Marvel Studios have also decided to rework Daredevil: Born Again before its Disney+ premiere next year. The stakes have never been higher for Marvel Studios, with superhero films no longer being the surefire hits they once were.

The superhero studio could return to the level of brand trust it had before if the momentum continues with Deadpool and Wolverine after X-Men '97 pleased audiences . Captain America: Brave New World will also need to deliver a quality product because the consistent string of hits is part of what made the MCU successful. These reshoots will surely have past mistakes in mind and attempt to recapture what made the MCU great in its first decade.

An MCU Theory Connects Captain America 4 to an Old Villain (& It's Not The Leader)

The plot of Captain America: Brave New World is under tight wraps. A new fan theory, however, claims the MCU has already revealed the film's villains.

Marvel Studios has been introducing plenty of new characters and different types of stories, but audiences also crave something that feels like the MCU of old. Based on the CinemaCon footage reaction from April, which featured a scene between Wilson and Ford's President Ross, it appears Marvel Studios is looking to capture the spirit of one of its crowning achievements: Captain America: The Winter Soldier .

Captain America: The Winter Solider remains a high point for the MCU with its spy espionage tone and stellar action sequences. Other MCU projects like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Secret Invasion have tried to capture the same spirit but failed. Captain America: Brave New World 's theatrical format may lead to a more successful result. Brave New World is also set to feature more interconnectivity than recent MCU projects, with plenty of ties to The Incredible Hulk . The reshoots are also set to make another big addition to the MCU, with Giancarlo Esposito appearing as a mysterious villain .

The Captain America franchise is a crown jewel of the MCU and one of the few that will continue after the Infinity Saga. Following The Falcon and the Winter Soldier , Anthony Mackie has proven that he can carry on the mantle of Captain America as Wilson. Marvel Studios has always refined films until its release and while it hasn't always worked, inaction would be far worse. It's unfair to judge an unfinished film that hasn't even released a trailer yet. Marvel Studios is still shaping what the film is, and hopefully, these reshoots produce the results fans and the studio are looking for. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story notoriously had many reshoots and even a director change. As a result, Rogue One is arguably the most beloved Star Wars film out of the Disney era of the franchise.

Captain America: Brave New World doesn't hit theaters until February, so there's still time for Marvel Studios to right the ship and make a quality film. If word got out that the first Iron Man film didn't have a finished script before filming, confidence wouldn't have been high on it either. While the buzz around Captain America: Brave New World isn't ideal for Marvel Studios at a time when it is looking to get fans excited again, it shouldn't cause any concern based on the studio's past and the success that has come with it.

Alex Kurtzman Explains Why ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Is Set In The ‘Discovery’ Era

| May 30, 2024 | By: TrekMovie.com Staff 111 comments so far

Star Trek: Discovery may be over but the 32nd century setting it established will live on in the new Starfleet Academy series, set to start filming this summer. And now the man in charge of Star Trek TV is explaining why.

The Post-Burn era will speak to today’s kids

It has already been revealed that the new YA-focused Academy series shared the Discovery era, but in a new interview with the LA Times , Alex Kurtzman explained there is a specific, and even personal, reason:

As the father of a 17-year-old boy, I see what my son is feeling as he looks at the world and to his future. I see the uncertainty; I see all the things we took for granted as given are not certainties for him. I see him recognizing he’s inheriting an enormous mess to clean up and it’s going to be on his generation to figure out how to do that, and that’s a lot to ask of a kid. My thinking was, if we set “Starfleet Academy” in the halcyon days of the Federation where everything was fine, it’s not going to speak to what kids are going through right now. It’ll be a nice fantasy, but it’s not really going to be authentic. What’ll be authentic is to set it in the timeline where this is the first class back after over 100 years, and they are coming into a world that is only beginning to recover from a cataclysm — which was the Burn, as established on “Star Trek: Discovery,” where the Federation was greatly diminished. So they’re the first who’ll inherit, who’ll re-inherit, the task of exploration as a primary goal, because there just wasn’t room for that during the Burn — everybody was playing defense. It’s an incredibly optimistic show, an incredibly fun show; it’s a very funny show, and it’s a very emotional show. I think these kids, in different ways, are going to represent what a lot of kids are feeling now.

In case you missed it, The Burn was an era that spanned the 31st and 32nd centuries when almost all the dilithium in the galaxy had become inert, severely limiting warp travel. As seen in the third season of Discovery , The Burn resulted in the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet becoming a shell of its former self until the crew of the USS Discovery arrived and helped end the crisis, beginning a new era for the Federation and Starfleet.

Criminal gangs like the Emerald Chain rose to power during The Burn era

Kurtzman also talked about how they are approaching the physical setting for the series. After being based at Starfleet HQ in space, the Academy is returning to its roots on Earth in San Francisco. Kurtzman told the LA Times about how the series itself will be set on Earth and in space:

I’m going to say, without giving anything away, [it is] both [Earth-based and space-based]. Right now we’re in the middle of answering the question what does San Francisco, where the academy is, look like in the 32nd century? Our primary set is the biggest we’ve ever built.

The “Mega Stage” at Pinewood Studios Toronto, future home of Starfleet Academy

The executive producer and co-showrunner of Academy also talked about the recent news that Oscar-winning actress Holly Hunter has joined the cast :

And I’m very, very , very excited that Holly Hunter is the lead of the show. Honestly, when we were working on the scripts, we wrote it for Holly thinking she’d never do it. And we sent them to her, and to our absolute delight and shock she loved them and signed on right away.

Holly Hunter plays the “captain and chancellor” of Starfleet Academy

More Star Trek developments teased

Kurtzman also fielded a question about what is in development for Star Trek past the Academy series and Section 31 movie. He was vague, but again hinted surprises are coming:

There’s always notions and there are a couple of surprises coming up, but I really try to live in the shows that are in front of me in the moment because they’re so all-consuming. I’m directing the first two episodes of “Starfleet Academy,” so right now my brain is just wholly inside that world. But you can tell “Star Trek” stories forever; there’s always more. There’s something in the DNA of its construction that allows you to keep opening different doors. Some of that is science fiction, some of it has to do with the combination of science fiction and the organic embracing of all these other genres that lets you explore new territories. I don’t think it’s ever going to end. I think it’s going to go on for a long, long time. The real question for “Star Trek” is how do you keep innovating, how do you deliver both what people expect and something totally fresh at the same time. Because I think that is actually what people want from “Star Trek.” They want what’s familiar delivered in a way that doesn’t feel familiar.

Wow, I see that Kurtzman said the Holly Hunter is “the” lead of the new show. I think that potentially bodes well for SFA.

It’s certainly increased my interest. I wasn’t interested before.

I wonder if a Star Trek Legacy streaming movie is one of the “surprises”? That would be a way to meet fan demand without committing to a series.

Probably not…. 😏

Why be this person? Why reply at all? Are you a grown adult?

Don’t be that guy Scotty.

I mean it would make the most sense. Especially since the Variety article cited he was thinking of doing a Picard movie which sounds like either Legacy or a TNG streaming movie.

How fares the white whale, Captain Ahab?

Why are you so obsessed with me or care about my opinions so much? Can you just leave me alone? I don’t like you or respect you.

And that’s what the article said. Right? 🙄

You are unbelievably rude. Shame on you.

“Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I’d strike the sun if it insulted me”-Captain Ahab

What is wrong with you?

He ŕead Moby dick cliffnotes and is showing off.

No I have the audio book..It helps me sleep..

I’d definitely be down for that. Some form of that feels like an inevitability if the streaming movie model ends up working out.

I sure hope so. It could be a way to gauge interest.

All for a Legacy movie and hopefully leads into a show.

GIVE US A LEGACY MOVIE PARAMOUNT!!!!

I’m getting excited. :)

I agree with you… Something must be wrong with me!

Me too because I’m a father and I want my daughter to have a better world than the one I had to deal with.

I’m not especially excited about this show, but I have to say that for a change, I like Kurtzman’s comments here. They make sense to me, especially the comments about the world his son is inheriting. I’ll certainly give this show a chance.

I was thinking the same thing. It makes sense — but then, he has a facility for telling fans what they want to hear. As always, everything will be in the execution.

Should I withhold my usual condemnation (condom-nation?) for the foreseeable?

I’m in such good mood right now today that it would take Daniel Craig coming back as Bond to sour the experience.

Is your mood in any way related to a certain court case verdict?

Yes To the nth power! But I’ll hold off on dancing in the streets till some maximal sentencing happens.

I’m going to hold off on any celebrating until mid-November.

Me too (fingers crossed).

Per usual we agree but yes I loved his comments as well!

I feel the same way. Kurtzmann’s words make sense. That, and Holly Hunter have given me a reason to check this show out at the least.

Let’s be honest about this… It’s set in the Discovery era because they can reuse the sets, locations, and visuals they’ve already developed and save costs instead of having to restart from square one.

Picard was a California production and they’re not going to do that because of the expenses. They probably keep a good portion of the Canadian Discovery/SNW production crew employed, and beyond Holly Hunter (which I’ll be amazed if she’s in every episode and I’ll bet dollars to donuts that she’s more of a side character) the cast is probably (cheaper) younger talent that’ll keep costs under control.

Agree 100%. At the end of the day, it’s all about keeping costs as low as possible. I just hope they don’t scrimp on the writer’s room.

Yeah, that’s gotta be a big part of it.

Setting it in the 25th century without Buck Rogers would be boring.

But they could have just as easily set it in the era of SNW/TOS and reused a lot of material from that too.

Honestly, his reasoning for setting the show in the 33rd century is sound. Just hope the show will be good because… Discovery really wasn’t.

I guess it was good if you’re into those Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones stories in mystery box format that are tied to canon by meaningless name-dropping. Discovery feels as irrelevant to the core story of Star Trek as the reboots, not because they aren’t entertaining, but because they feel so derivative and hollow. The 33rd century has never appealed to me, and a series or movie about Starfleet Academy has been on and off since the days of Star Trek VI. I wish I would, but I couldn’t care less about either of those things.

Programmable matter is not relatable, that’s for sure. I don’t know how you can “teach” anything where the basics of 3200 are so far beyond what the audience 2025 will experience!

I generally liked Discovery, although I never warmed to any of its main characters. I loved the storytelling/plotting, production, and action. The characters, not so much, my favorites being Empress Geourgou, Tyler, Jett Reno, and Dr. Kovich, and especially Pike and Spock.

Michael (why didn’t they just name her Michelle) Burnham is played by a wonderful actress, but, I’m sorry, her getting command of Discovery after all the insubordination just doesn’t ring true. That, and her willingness to endanger her ship to save her friends. Saru was a better captain.

And I really disliked Adira and Grey.

I agree with your list of characters, but surprised you didn’t include Saru. I honestly thought he was the best main character and would be happy to see him again. He was a better captain, but primarily because he felt more like an actual Starfleet officer. Burnham spouted off the importance of Starfleet and the Federation regularly, but she didn’t feel like an officer most of the time. Just felt like it always had to be about her – and not just because the series was setup that way.

He’s literally describing the premise of Prodigy. Is he aware of that? Probably not.

True, great point. PRO is pretty much an Academy story, and a ‘YA’ one as well. And well done it is. That really didn’t dawn upon me until you put it that way.

It dawned on me when they announced Holly Hunter as their “version” of Janeway. And it would make sense. Prodigy (and to a lesser degree LD) are the proof of concept. I wouldn’t be surprised if they lean heavily into themes that made the show popular (alien outcasts joining Starfleet and going on an adventure). It’s pretty obvious that Prodigy wasn’t axed because it wasnt working as a show.

But Prodigy sucked when it became Star Trek: Voyager Part Deux.

Not really. The first season was set outside the Federation. The characters may enter the Academy in season 2 but it’s during the “halcyon days”, as Kurtzman calls it.

That said, it will be interesting to see how the 2 shows will work with the premise. My guess is that Academy will actually focus on characters at the Academy, i.e. in a campus setting. The Prodigy kids will probably spend more time zipping around the galaxy on Voyager-A.

Yeah I think season 2 of Prodigy will be set solely aboard Voyager and the kids learn about Starfleet that way.

SFA sounds like it will be then mostly at the Academy with probably some ship adventures here and there. I see it as something closer to DS9 where they mostly stay on the station but uses the Defiant on certain occasions.

I disagree with his logic – as it relates specifically to Star Trek as a franchise and worldview. His reasoning is fine for a generic sci-fi show – heck – even for Star Wars.

But – he clearly knows neither his history nor his Star Trek and sadly reflects a lack of vision.

Think back to the era of TOS. Racial strife, political and social unrest, proxy / direct war. Sound familiar? TOS cast a vision of hope, promise, unity that spoke beyond the realities of the current and said “we can be better”. THAT’S the message for an uncertain, disjointed and divided time. The message to give to the next generation.

That’s the promise of Star Trek; a promise that sadly the current production leadership is content to abjure themselves.

Exactly my thoughts. Ahh yes, make a show about reflecting today’s mess. That’s what people want. Not escapism or optimism, but a mud puddle they can see their reflection in.

These writers are incapable of writing allegorical science fiction. We will get more of the same.

Times and attitudes change and, to stay relevant, you have to adjust to those changes. That has what Trek has had to do. Ratings would have been shocking if it stayed to the usual formula of the original shows..

You don’t have to stick with the original formula. The format can evolve, but you can’t change the DNA or the things that made the show special, and still call it Star Trek. Alex’s Star Trek has nothing of value to offer except mindless dialogue, incoherent stories, and no verisimilitude. Just my opinion though…..

SNW, LDS, PRO are all set during times when the Federation is a vision of hope compared to modern times.

It’s okay if one of the shows rejects that and is set in a time of unrest.

“ Think back to the era of TOS. Racial strife, political and social unrest, proxy / direct war. Sound familiar? TOS cast a vision of hope, promise, unity that spoke beyond the realities of the current and said “we can be better”. THAT’S the message for an uncertain, disjointed and divided time. The message to give to the next generation.”

The difference, I think, is that we have found out over the course of the last twenty years that while we can be better, a significant percentage of us have seen the attempts to be better and said “eh, that’s not for me.”

each season of Disc ends on an optimistic note, dangers, threats to the Fed and starfleet averted and looking to further adventures. just like OS and the rest of ST on tv, film

I like his reasoning for setting it in the 32nd century, but please don’t write character dialogue that sounds like the 21st! Make this serious and it might be good.

Agree with this. I can’t stand contemporary slang used in futuristic settings. It takes you out of the moment immediately, imo.

Still going to say no on this.

I’d love to see Star Trek do a ‘West Wing’ style drama show, that would be great. Maybe set just after Enterprise at the very beginnings of a United Earth’s future.

I want a horror show. Horror is universal so it should get more viewers and fans.

Absolutely yes to this

BECAUSE THEY ARE IDIOTS.

As for my thoughts on Kurtzman’s logic to set Starfleet Academy in the 32nd century, I appreciate his reasoning behind that decision. The 32nd century has barely been explored and offers up the possibilities of telling new stories that appeal to a new audience.

I think Star Trek needs to keep engaging a new generation. The world that our younger generations are growing up in is not the world we necessarily recognise and if Star Trek (if any of these legacy franchises) wants to remain relevant, remain influential and inspirational, then it will need to speak to a new generation in a way we may never recognise as Star Trek because the social, political, geographical, cultural problems that affect a generation who didn’t grow up during the 90s or 00s.

While it might only be important for Star Wars, Marvel, Doctor Who to entertain a younger generation, whatever Star Trek is and does moving forward, it has to speak to a younger audience. It HAS to influence them in ways that make them feel listened to, and to inspire them to be the scientists, leaders, engineers and thinkers of tomorrow. Thats crucial.

For Academy, I would hope that Star Trek’s production staff go to that generation Z and get their feedback on how they want to see their futures, what worries them about today’s world, truly engage with the generation Star Trek should be speaking to. I’d like to see a grounded, less mythical approach to the technology too. Get rid of the floating nacelles and the magic tech, it’s for Star Trek to look at theoretical scientific progress to inform what the technology might be in the future and how it might be used.

One of the most important things Roddenberry did was he spoke to NASA and scientists to inform the look, feel and technology of Star Trek, so my hope is that the creative minds behind Academy, really do legitimise the 32nd century and ground it in real scientific theories and developments.

It at least sounds promising. I’m really hoping this show goes more deeper with a little more depth without going the tiring melodrama Discovery relied on.

I can certainly understand why people think that will be the case but Discovery is really the only one that does it so much out of the other shows and maybe this will go a different direction too.

Fingers crossed.

My question is what’s the nature of the conflict within the show? I just hope it doesn’t do Discovery ‘s season-long “everything is riding on these people to save the day” storytelling. But also, the main issue that’s come up with the Starfleet Academy idea since it has been floated over the last 4 decades, what compelling stories are you gonna tell with cadets in the main setting of Starfleet Academy?

If it’s set mainly at Starfleet Academy, then what kind of stories can you tell? Is it going to basically be Star Trek: Top Gun , where we’re going to get episodes where it’s 45 minutes of characters worrying about about whether they will pass a test? Teen relationship dramas and love triangles at the Academy? God forbid, the umpteenth internal conspiracy at Starfleet Command that this team of cadets will be embroiled in?

If you send these cadets out on missions, putting them in the line of fire for big events, then you basically get close to having a live-action version of Lower Decks except as a drama, and it’s not exactly a Starfleet Academy show anymore either.

Excellent questions, the same ones I asked myself when the academy concept was first mentioned in the 80’s. I always thought it a dull idea, full of melodrama.

All great questions and none I can remotely answer lol. They have basically hinted it will be some stuff like romance and how well someone fits in, etc, which is what you get in any school setting; so it’s just how they will do it.

But the bigger stuff like how ‘big’ will the story be every season and will there be missions and all of that is a huge question mark. They did say they will face an enemy of some kind (probably will be the 32nd century Borg. Yeah, I’m joking, for now…) so there will probably be a serialized story I’m guessing. But I agree I would actually like smaller stories like we get on Lower Decks and even Prodigy where it’s just students doing the day to day stuff mostly and actually focus on what it’s like to be a future Starfleet officer. Have a story arc there but not be so GRAND like it is with Discovery every season. That show just felt too plot driven and why hardly anyone can remember who the bridge crew was after 5 seasons. Just have more regular slice of life stories.

Imagine Grays Anatomy where the kids are the new batch of interns

I hate to say it, but sadly DSC was the only Trek I ever dropped while it was running. I gave it two seasons (barely). But that said, I plan to give Academy the same treatment. And if I feel about it like I did DSC, I’ll stop watching with no hesitation. This is what Nu-Trek has given me, the wherewithal to walk away when it’s terrible. All respect to DSC fans, of course.

And you know I respect that Danpaine. Believe me I did think of stop watching Discovery (or at the very least just wait for it to end and binge it later) after how awful season 4 was but I have zero will power lol.

But I am staying positive about SFA because as you probably heard me say a million times now, I do like the fact it is different and I like the Earth setting. But I also admit mostly because it takes place in the 32nd century. Without that, I probably would find the premise way less interesting. But it’s the kind of thing Kurtzman said in the article why it can have great potential IMO.

Alex Kurtzman’s Son is inheriting millions of dollars. He left that part out.

LOL yeah I was thinking the same. He can probably just take 10% of what Kurtzman is worth today and not have a care in the world for the rest of his life.

they never ask the questions i want to ask… mainly i want to know if we’re gonna see cronenberg again because i love him in front of or behind the camera

I hope so. Especially now we know who he is.

He needs to direct a future streaming movie for Trek. Maybe something related to Kovich.

When will this team of Trek creatives figure out the reason we all watch this franchise is because we want to live in it and not the world we currently do? They try so dang hard to make the future stink like some feel the present stinks that it sucks the fun out of all of it.

The present does stink.

which is why Trek *could* be so valuable. Go back and watch an episode like “First Contact” and see if that doesn’t have something to teach or hold the mirror up to ourselves and also is just good television.

What messages is new Trek (Disco specifically) trying to convey beyond ticking progressive check marks just to pander and not get canceled?

(note: I have no problem with any of the casting or characterization choices, but the staff don’t DO anything with those choices other than have them exist, they don’t tap you on the head and say – ‘hey, Florida…we’ve got something to say to you’)

Think back to Sisko and Cassidy’s conversation in “Bada-Bing, Bada-Bang”:

SISKO: Look, this is not about Vic Fontaine.

KASIDY: Then what is your problem?

SISKO: You want to know? You really want to know what my problem is? I’ll tell you. Las Vegas nineteen sixty two, that’s my problem. In nineteen sixty two, black people weren’t very welcome there. Oh, sure they could be performers or janitors, but customers? Never.

KASIDY: Maybe that’s the way it was in the real Vegas, but that is not the way it is at Vic’s. I have never felt uncomfortable there and neither has Jake.

SISKO: But don’t you see, that’s the lie. In nineteen sixty two, the Civil Rights movement was still in its infancy. It wasn’t an easy time for our people and I’m not going to pretend that it was.

KASIDY: Baby, I know that Vic’s isn’t a totally accurate representation of the way things were, but it isn’t meant to be. It shows us the way things could have been. The way they should’ve been.

SISKO: We cannot ignore the truth about the past.

KASIDY: Going to Vic’s isn’t going to make us forget who we are or where we came from. What it does is it reminds us that we’re no longer bound by any limitations, except the ones we impose on ourselves.

Where in the heck has writing like that been in new Trek?

These current writers are not the same caliber — it’s like comparing a magnum round with a BB pellet.

and sisko ends up singing with vic by the end

Considering we live in a failing empire run by crooks; escapism to a better world reduces the stress.

Wonder if we’ll actually get a real-world version of that Klingon dictum about only a fool fights in a burning house (of representatives)?

That’s not why I watch Star Trek.

Personally I watch Star Trek for KLINGON FOOD FIGHTS!

One or both?

People only want it set in the 25th century because they want legacy characters to show up, so it’s brave of them to set it in the Discovery era. Now the writing just needs to be good because Disco most certainly was not.

Disco is a legacy show itself now that its finished. Guaranteed you’ll have Burnham, Saru etc. popping up in surprise cameos throughout Academy’s run, just to appease that built-in audience Disco has carved for itself now.

But I doubt they’ll create a new series out of the Discovery’s characters as they’re entertaining with Legacy. Not that I don’t like the DISC character’s. I do. No problem revisiting characters in a guess spot. Creating a new series out of those old characters in a new series is a bankrupt idea. Including Picard and Legacy. Let’s move forward!

No, not really. I don’t represent everyone, but I’m pretty sure that I’m not alone when I say that I’m not that interested in another round of legacy characters on ANY show. SNW is screwing things up by bringing in legacy characters. And, honestly, if it wasn’t for season 3 of PIC, most people would say that the series was a complete waste and ruined the legacy of Jean Luc Picard (I feel like it already left Q in a worse place, and didn’t do Wesley Crusher much favors).

The only reason I don’t want the series set in the 32nd century is because so far it’s been boring – especially in terms of design and aesthetic. Every shot of Starfleet headquarters and everything surrounding it never leave me wanting to see more of its design or the ships around it. In fact, I have a feeling the show runners understand that, and that’s why they stuck with Discovery as the only starship we saw on the inside other than Book’s ship and the shuttles. And those shuttles… Geez, I miss the days of the runabouts…

I’m all for more Admiral Vance, but he feels like he comes from a different time period in comparison to everyone else. I could care less if I saw more Kovich (but I bet he has a cameo or two), and I don’t think Tilly will be enough to carry it. There’s a slight possibility of Saru popping up, but I bet the rest of the Discovery cast won’t be seen again.

And if it starts out as “The Breakfast Club” in space (which I have a feeling it will be), then no thanks!

For me, Season 5 of Discovery did a tremendous amount of the world building I needed to feel more confident and excited by the SA setting. I’m looking forward to spending way more time here!

I might be missing something here, but wasn’t the exploration of the Breen the only real world building that happened in season 5? Maybe the “synth” at the very beginning, but even that just connects back to Picard. There were a few new locations, but I doubt that will play into Starfleet Academy (although I have a feeling we will head back to Trill AGAIN for some random reason). There were no new significant characters that I see playing into SA, and very little was added to canon other than how the Progenitor tech was hidden and eventually how it worked. Again, things that won’t effect SA at all.

I’m pretty excited to see what they do with this series. Part of that is that I actually do like Discovery, am interested in the 32nd Century setting they set up, but feel like the serialized stories it told didn’t allow them to explore that setting as thoroughly as they could have. But even just the “Starfleet Academy” part has a lot of potential to explore the ideas of the Star Trek universe in unique and interesting ways. I’m really hoping we see something from the show soon, especially since they’ve started casting announcements.

I have little to no interest in this show and even less faith in its overall quality. I do have to admit though, while Amazing Spiderman 2 is terrible movie it did a spectacular job of showing teenage drama and romance,

I never felt less enthusiasm for an upcoming Star Trek series then Academy .. zero interest for me, nada, zip ..

Especially when you consider that by next year, we’ll be left with SNW and Starfleet Academy and that’s it. Right now, I have LDS to look forward to and that’s about it.

This is going to be Gotham high in space.

Talk about boldly cringing like no one has cringed before…

I am hoping not, but am prepared to drop this show like a stone if you’re right.

In that case, hoping for A Joker or Jokers Daughter crossover!

If SONY ends up with PARAMOUNT the shows will end up elsewhere when they shut down P+…SONY has outright said – WE WANT IPs! They’ll keep Star Trek, Mission Impossible, Criminal Minds, NCISs…

The most recent update I’ve read on a potential sale is that the special council set up by Paramount to assess the offers prefers the Skydance option.

If it is set in the 32nd Century, than I hope the cadets are not issued personal transporters. It would be nice to see them WALKING to class!

Maybe it will work like a real college campus, and only the kids with more pull (in place of money) will have the personal transporters (in place of cars/personal scooters). So you’ll have those that HAVE to walk because they don’t have another option, and then the snarky kids will just pop in and annoy them every time!

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 - Everything We Know

The acolyte's sith lord is hiding in plain sight - i am all in on this perfect star wars theory, doctor who spinoff to return ahead of season 14 finale with 2 surprising stars, star trek: strange new worlds season 3 wraps filming & anson mount hangs up his boots [updated].

Anson Mount hails season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as the best yet, with even bigger storytelling risks and surprises.
Season 3 wrapped production in May 2024, with a renewal for season 4 already in the pipeline, sparking high audience anticipation.
Mount teases exciting developments in season 3, including bold creative choices that will surpass previous seasons.

Anson Mount, who plays Captain Christopher Pike, enthusiastically calls Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 "our best season so far". Strange New Worlds season 3 wrapped six months of production right before Memorial Weekend 2024. While there is no release date yet from Paramount+, Strange New Worlds received an early season 4 renewal , with production expected to start up again in Spring 2025. Meanwhile, audience anticipation is sky-high, especially after the cliffhanger ending of Strange New Worlds season 2 in August 2023.

In an interview with Gold Derby , Anson Mount discussed the success of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds . Season 2 of Strange New Worlds regularly charted in the Nielsen Streaming Top 10, and the series hit highs with its biggest risks, a comedic crossover with Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek 's first-ever musical episode. Without divulging spoilers, Mount teased the "even bigger swings" in Strange New Worlds season 3, promising that the musical "will not be the craziest thing that we did" by the time it's over. Read Anson's quote below:

“I think it’s not just an exciting season, I think storytelling wise, development-wise, technically; it’s going to be our best season so far and a lot of that has to do with even bigger swings being taken. The musical episode will not be the craziest thing that we did or we have done by the end of this. We’re feeling more ownership over what it is that we’re doing and realizing that it continues to resonate.”

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 ended with an epic cliffhanger and here's everything known about when it will be resolved in season 3.

What Could Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3's Big Swings Be?

How to they top the musical episode.

It's hard to imagine how Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 can top season 2's crossover and musical, but Anson Mount believes they do. Strange New Worlds season 3 is shrouded in secrecy, but a few dollops of information have emerged. For instance, J onathan Frakes is directing an episode of Strange New Worlds season 3 that's been touted as a "Hollywood murder mystery" , which could certainly be as out-of-the-box as Strange New Worlds ' musical.

Martin Quinn is also returning as Lt. Montgomery Scott AKA Scotty in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3.

Strange New Worlds is also debuting a new Science Lab set on the USS Enterprise , and many of the top directors from season 2 like Frakes, Chris Fisher, Valerie Weiss, Dan Liu, and Jordan Canning, are back behind the camera for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3. It's safe to assume storylines like Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush) leaving the Enterprise for her archaeological medicine internship with Dr. Roger Korby , and Lt. La'an Noonien-Singh's (Christina Chong) will-they-or-won't-they love story with Lt. James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) will continue. It's best to believe Anson Mount that when it comes to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3, audiences haven't seen anything yet.
