Trekies, get ready to set your phasers for the Strange New Worlds boldly returning for a third season on Thursday, July 17, streaming exclusively on Paramount+ and beaming around the globe. To kick things off in true Trek fashion, Season 3 drops with not one but two brand‑new episodes, before settling into a weekly Thursday release to the epic finale on Thursday, September 11.
This season picks up in the aftermath of the Gorn confrontation that had our intrepid U.S.S. Enterprise crew and Captain Pike (Anson Mount) on the edge of their seats. But with the safety of the quadrant restored, the Enterprise charts new courses to worlds brimming with uncharted life and civilizations. True to its roots, Strange New Worlds delights in shaking up expectations: you’ll experience episodes that blend faith and duty with surprising doses of comedy, romance, and mystery. The suspense will pick up with a formidable new adversary lurking in the darkness, one whose cunning will push the Star Trek heroes’ courage and convictions to their limits.

CBS Studios, Secret Hideout, and Roddenberry Entertainment have partnered up once again to produce and craft a season that honors classic Trek values while pushing the storytelling frontier to exhilarating new galaxies.
