Impacted because it was by the Hollywood strikes final 12 months, when Paramount beamed into San Diego earlier this 12 months to present Comedian-Con the primary take a look at Unusual New Worlds season three, issues had been… bizarre. As a substitute of a trailer, followers had been handled to a scene from an episode from the brand new season, and it was one which raised some questions (and some Vulcan ears) that irked diehard followers who would in any other case be excited for what Unusual New Worlds has been cooking in Star Trek‘s previous. Now at New York Comedian Con, nevertheless, the present is in a significantly better place to tease what’s coming.
Once we final left the Enterprise crew on the finish of season two, issues regarded decidedly much less unusual and new, because the ship fell awry of a gaggle of Gorn invading a Federation colony world, who had already achieved a quantity on the USS Cayuga, the ship captained by Pike’s paramour, Marie Batel (Wynonna Earp‘s Melanie Scrofano). That’s a darkish flip for a present that had actually simply achieved a musical episode, however at the very least it appears like most of our heroes (and a few acquainted new-old ones, like Martin Quinn’s younger Montgomery Scott) are going to make it out of that grisly encounter in a single piece for all this new adventuring.
The Unusual New Worlds clip proven at NYCC’s Star Trek Universe panel picks up within the finale’s speedy aftermath of season two’s finale: the Enterprise is getting thrased by the Gorn, and Pike is somewhat shellshocked from all of the chaos. With all that’s occurring, and the crew’s scrambling to each survive and provide you with a manner to verify they’ll rescue their misplaced buddies.
Past the rescue mission, Paramount was coy on what different adventures the Enterprise crew finds itself in. However they’ll meet as least one new face, as Rhys Darby (Our Flag Means Loss of life) will visitor star in some unspecified time in the future within the season. As for when will Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds return? Paramount was imprecise, save for that it’ll come again someday in 2025.
