00:00Star Trek Strange New Worlds is about to boldly go where no Trek series has gone before.
00:05And you are not going to believe what they're doing next, Captain Pike.
00:09And his entire crew are getting the full puppet treatment in Season 4.
00:14Yes.
00:15You heard that right, puppets?
00:17The showrunners are keeping the exact reason for this transformation under wraps for now.
00:21But knowing this series, it's going to be absolutely wild.
00:24This puppet episode is just the latest in the show's tradition of completely flipping the script.
00:28On what we expect from Star Trek, remember that incredible musical episode?
00:35Or the mind-blowing crossover with Lower Decks that brought animated characters straight into live action?
00:42This show clearly isn't afraid to take risks and keep surprising us, whether you're a diehard Trekkie or just discovering
00:50this amazing franchise.
00:52So let's talk about the release date.
00:55While there's no official date yet, Paramount has confirmed that Season 4 is definitely dropping in 2026.
01:02Production kicked off in March of this year, which puts us on track for a potential May plays or June
01:092026 release, bringing the show back to its original premiere schedule.
01:14After Season 3 was hit with delays from the 2023 Hollywood strikes, the rapid progress on Season 4 seems like
01:23a strategic move to recapture momentum.
01:26The core crew is returning for the new season.
01:28Ansem Mount, Ethan Peck, and Celia Rose Gooding have all been spotted on set.
01:33We're also getting back key cast members like Rebecca Ramin, Babs Ellusenmokun, and fan-favorite guest stars, including Paul Wesley
01:43as James T, Kirk.
01:45The rest of the main cast, including Jess Bush, Christina Chong, Melissa Navia, and Martin Quinn as Scotty, are all
01:53expected to return, while the crew will continue its wild adventures.
01:56The puppet episode is shaping up to be one of their most ambitious projects yet.
02:01Showrunner Henry Alonzo Myers revealed they put more than six months of work into making it happen.
02:07There's no full trailer for Season 4 just yet.
02:11But Paramount did give us a sneak peek at San Diego Comic Con 2025.
02:16You can find it on their official channels.
02:19To top it all off, the show has also been renewed for a fifth.
