The USS Enterprise is back and boldly returning to its original-series roots in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Beaming down to planets! Weird illnesses! Submarines in space! Shirts coming off!
Strange New Worlds premieres on Paramount Plus on May 5, with new episodes streaming every Thursday. Right from the off, it's a rollicking return to the traditional Trek that longtime fans may've missed in the recent wave of mold-breaking Star Trek shows like Discovery, Lower Decks, Prodigy and Picard. From its stirring new take on the original series theme tune and chunky bridge consoles to its square-jawed captain and weekly episodic adventures, the series is a playfully retro romp.
That said, Strange New Worlds takes the traditional Trek formula and stirs in more-modern elements, like deeper character backstories and overarching storylines. But that's far looser than in Discovery and Picard, which were powered almost entirely by ongoing plotlines.
