It's been not quite two years since "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" Season 2 ended on a huge cliffhanger, and now we finally know when to expect new episodes. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Season 3 of "Strange New Worlds" will debut with not one, but two new episodes on Paramount+ on Thursday, July 17.

Hopefully, the wait for a new season won't be quite as long next time. "Strange New Worlds" has been renewed for a fourth season ahead of the release of Season 3, and production on Season 4 is already underway.
Judging by a teaser released earlier this year, episodes of Season 3 include what appears to be a holodeck episode, one episode in which the ship gets hardwired with landlines, and at least one episode in which half the lead crew are surgically altered to appear as, and act, as Vulcans.
Season 2 of the sci-fi series ended with things looking particularly bad for our heroes. A chunk of the Enterprise crew had been captured by the reptilian Gorn, while the ship itself was under fire from more than a few Gorn ships. The Season 2 finale, "Hegemony", ends with Captain Pike (Anson Mount) speechless as to how to get out of his bind.
With the cancellation of both "Star Trek: Discovery" and "Star Trek: Lower Decks", "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is for now the only game in town as far as "Trek" is concerned. That is, it will be until the upcoming "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" gets off the ground. The latter series has wrapped production but so far there's no official release window yet.
Then there's the live-action "Star Trek" workplace comedy that Tawny Newsome of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" fame is developing with Justin Simen.
"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" stars Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, Ethan Peck, Jess Bush, Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding, Melissa Navia, Babs Olusanmokun and Martin Quinn. Guest stars for the upcoming season include Rhys Darby, Patton Oswalt, Cillian O'Sullivan, Melanie Scrofano, Carol Kane, and Paul Wesley.
