Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 ended with an epic cliffhanger and here’s everything known about when it will be resolved in season 3.
What Could Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3’s Big Swings Be?
How to they top the musical episode?
It’s hard to imagine howStar Trek: Strange New Worldsseason 3can top season 2’s crossover and musical, but Anson Mount believes they do.Strange New Worldsseason 3 is shrouded in secrecy, but a few dollops of information have emerged. For instance, Jonathan Frakes is directing an episode ofStrange New Worldsseason 3 that’s been touted as a"Hollywood murder mystery",which could certainly be as out-of-the-box asStrange New Worlds' musical.
Martin Quinn is also returning as Lt. Montgomery Scott AKA Scotty inStar Trek: Strange New Worldsseason 3.
Strange New Worldsis also debutinga new Science Lab set on the USS Enterprise, and many of the top directors from season 2 like Frakes, Chris Fisher, Valerie Weiss, Dan Liu, and Jordan Canning, are back behind the camera forStar Trek: Strange New Worldsseason 3. It’s safe to assume storylines like Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush) leaving the Enterprise for her archaeological medicine internship withDr. Roger Korby, and Lt. La’an Noonien-Singh’s (Christina Chong) will-they-or-won’t-they love story with Lt. James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) will continue. It’s best to believe Anson Mount that when it comes toStar Trek: Strange New Worldsseason 3, audiences haven’t seen anything yet.
