‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Season 4 Trailer: Fears & Bold Adventures (VIDEO)

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is back for its fourth season this summer, in July, and on Tuesday, June 16, Paramount+ released the Season 4 trailer.

“I have many things I want to talk about,” Spock (Ethan Peck) tells Kirk (Paul Wesley). “Hopes. Dreams. Fears. I believe you are here so I can share them with you.”

As M’Benga (Babs Olusanmokun) notes at one point to Pike (Anson Mount), “You, more than anyone that I know, have thought about the past and the future a great deal. But most of us live in the now.” (Who can blame Pike, though, given what he saw of his future?)

Watch the trailer above for a look at some of the adventures, including an S.O.S. that turns out to be a trap. Plus, the crew is going to some really strange new worlds, there’s a surprising kiss, and much more. Oh, and there’s a fun nod to the future when Kirk tells Spock, “Don’t worry, Spock, I’m sure one day you’ll get to aim that logical mind of yours at some lucky captain.”

The series was renewed for Season 4 in April 2024, while it was still in production on Season 3. Read on for everything we know about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4, from a possible premiere date to the cast to the puppet episode and more. Plus, what do we know about the show’s future?
