Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is easily one of the most fun shows in recent years, and fortunately, it will be back for a third season. Even better? We not only have a premiere date (which Paramount+ announced in May), but we also have the titles for all 10 episodes, as were revealed on Thursday, June 5.

After a season that included a crossover with the animated Lower Decks and a musical episode, the Paramount+ series left off on quite the cliffhanger. The good news was the streaming service had previously announced it would be back for a third season (when it announced the premiere date of the second, so well in advance). Plus, there will be some more fun episodes this season!

But when will that third season premiere? Below, we’re keeping track of everything we know so far about the show’s future, from that date to the cast and more.

When does Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 premiere?

Strange New Worlds Season 3 will premiere on Thursday, July 17, with the first two episodes. The rest of the season will drop weekly on Thursdays. The Season 3 finale will begin streaming on Thursday, September 11. The streaming service also released a poster, which you can see below:

Where did Strange New Worlds Season 2 leave off?

In August 2023, Pike (Anson Mount) and the Enterprise crew helped Batel’s (Melanie Scrofano) crew — which included Chapel (Jess Bush), on her way to her fellowship — after they ran into trouble, with the Gorn. It was during that rescue that a certain Montgomery Scott (Martin Quinn) was introduced.

Batel was infected (and last seen not doing well), and La’an (Christina Chong), M’Benga (Babs Olusanmokun), Ortegas (Melissa Navia), and Sam (Dan Jeannotte) were among those taken by the Gorn.

Who’s returning for Strange New Worlds Season 3?

Starring in Season 3 are Mount, Rebecca Romijn (Number One), Ethan Peck (Spock), Bush, Chong, Celia Rose Gooding (Uhura), Navia, Olusanmokun, and Quinn. Paul Wesley (Kirk) is a special guest star. Back as guest stars are Carol Kane (Pelia) and Scrofano.

Who’s joining the cast for Season 3?

Cillian O’Sullivan will recur in the legacy role of Dr. Roger Korby; the character was first introduced in Star Trek: The Original Series —and was Chapel’s (Jess Bush in Strange New Worlds) ex-fiancé—and played by Michael Strong. Korby was mentioned during “Subspace Rhapsody” in Season 2 (the musical episode) as Chapel (Jess Bush) awaited news about a fellowship and described as “the Louis Pasteur of archaeological medicine.” Chapel was accepted into the fellowship.

Rhys Darby and Patton Oswalt will guest star in the upcoming season.

What’s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 about?

In Season 3, still led by Captain Pike, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise faces “the conclusion of [the] harrowing encounter with the Gorn,” teases Paramount+. “But new life and civilizations await, including a villain that will test our characters’ grit and resolve. An exciting twist on classic Star Trek, Season 3 takes characters both new and beloved to new heights, and dives into thrilling adventures of faith, duty, romance, comedy, and mystery, with varying genres never before seen on any other Star Trek.” Genre-bending stories include a murder mystery, a rom-com, and a documentary-style episode.

Jonathan Frakes shared with TV Insider while discussing Discovery that he directed an episode of Strange New Worlds Season 3. “I can say that it is maybe the best episode of TV I’ve had the privilege of directing. The story, as you’ll see, ends up being a Hollywood murder mystery,” he revealed.

Is there a Strange New Worlds Season 3 trailer?

A sneak peek that Paramount+ released at New York Comic Con picks up right after the crew has been ordered to retreat and shows the problems that ensue.

Another clip, released earlier in the year at San Diego Comic-Con, showed Pike and others becoming Vulcan for a mission — and having issues changing back. (Based on the episode titles above, that should be Episode 8’s adventure.)

A new teaser trailer released on April 2 (watch it above) offers a look at the aforementioned genre-bending stories — and it looks like this season is going to be so much fun.

Will Strange New Worlds be back for Season 4?

Yes! Paramount+ announced the renewal for Season 4 in April 2024.

“It has been incredibly rewarding to continue to build the Star Trek universe, and we’re so grateful to Secret Hideout and our immensely talented casts and producers,” said Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President, Programming, Paramount+, in a statement. “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has found the perfect blend of action, adventure and humor, and we’re elated to announce another season ahead of our season three premiere.”

As of April 2, 2025, it is currently in production in Toronto.
