Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 remains on track for a “2025” premiere on Paramount+, and as announced back in April, it is already renewed for Season 4.

A previous sneak peek revealed that at some point in Season 3, Captain Pike (played by Anson Mount), Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), Chapel (Jess Bush), La’an (Christina Chong) and Pelia (Carol Kane) are injected with a serum that transforms them into Vulcans — perhaps for longer than they planned!

Based on the years that Christopher Pike manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise, Strange New Worlds follows the ship’s captain plus Science Officer Spock (Ethan Peck), Number One (Rebecca Romijn) and the rest of the Enterprise crew in the years before Captain Kirk boarded the starship, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.

The cast also includes Melissa Navia, Babs Olusanmokun and Martin Quinn, along with special guest stars Paul Wesley.

Alex Kurtzman, Akiva Goldsman, Jenny Lumet, Henry Alonso Myers, Aaron Baiers, Dana Horgan, Davy Perez, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth alls serve as executive producers.
