TL;DR of our spoiler-friendly guidelines:

Okay so it's July 23 5:42am here on the east coast. Lying Paramount SNW page says new season now streaming.

So where is it?

Only showing seasons 1-3.

Come on Paramount I set an alarm for 2:55am just for the new season.

WTF Paramount?

Has anyone in australia watched star trek strange new worlds season 4 episode 1yet

Really in-depth interview with input from the whole cast.

8 minute interview with Jess, Celia and Melissa, all looking STUNNING. They start out deeply articulate about what Trek means to them and to the world, and then the interviewer gets silly and asks about wigs and hair on set. Melissa gets real about the upkeep required for Ortegas' hairstyle.

I know it's still fairly early but there is no sign of the show on Paramount + in the UK.

Any idea what time it beams down to the UK?

Potentially HUGELY spoilery pictures from episode 7. Others too but the ep. 7 pics seem to give something away.

Hey everyone, new here. New(ish) to Reddit and still finding my feet.

Thought I'd let you guys know the review embargo has lifted for SNW season 4. Press were given the first six episodes to watch. Seems like TrekMovie were mixed on it. Their mostly spoiler-free review is here: https://trekmovie.com/2026/07/22/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-season-4-mostly-spoiler-free-early-review-big-swings-still-abound/

I had the chance to review it and I felt like it was a real return to what I loved about the show. If you want my spoiler free thoughts they're here: https://getyourcomicon.co.uk/blog/2026/07/22/first-impressions-with-star-trek-strange-new-worlds-season-4

Individual episode plot points are embargoed until 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm BST each Thursday when episodes stream. So no major spoilers out there unless someone is leaking them.

Is it just me, or do you also see a Koala in the clouds in the episode Hemmer dies? Have there been other recent episodes that also hide this possible easter egg?

Little clip for the first episode

Last year Jessie went hard on how much they hated season 3, and after watching the first 6 episodes of season 4, is amazed to love Strange New Worlds again!!

Despite calling the first episode "utter crap" and still in Season 3 mode, starting with episode 2 the show abandons what was most hated about 3 (shallow heteronormative romances, bioessentialism, silly dancing) and begins to build substantive character development with solid plots. Jessie even liked the puppet episode despite fully expecting to loathe it. Episodes 2 and 6 are the best, but 4 and 5 are really good.

They are still disappointed there is no queerness in Season 4 (as there was in Season 1) but understands why producers are being conservative in this political era. However it looks like there is no dancing and all the romances we saw in S3 are either gone or not discussed.

Or was it on midnight PDT? I forget.

So, in prep for Season 4, I've been re-watching the first three seasons, albeit while otherwise busy. I was half paying attention and brushing out one of my dogs during a scene in which I heard Uhura say, "I'm Nyota". What I misheard was "I'm Yoda". This led to imagining what might happen if the Enterprise Comm officer Yoda was. Let the hijinks ensue.

From Trekmovie: ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Actors Tease Noir Episode And More Physical Season 4

“That’s just the type of leadership that we have with Akiva and Henry,” Mount said in remarks published by Mauxa. “They are so confident in their craft that they often come to us and go, ‘Give us ideas. Best idea wins. Go.’ They’re not protective at all, so everything was very much dialogue. I mean, we were lobbying for a musical episode, and they gave us one. We lobbied for a puppet episode; they gave us one. We lobbied for a film noir; we got it, which you’re gonna see [in season 4].”

In season 1 episode 1, why Captain Pike needs to take the shuttle getting very close to the USS Enterprise then beam over to the Enterprise, why not just beam him up from the Earth’s surface, or just dock the shuttle?

​I am personally so excited for this new season—especially to see the puppet episode in one of my favorite shows! Growing up in the 70s, I spent a lot of time with my nieces; they got me hooked on Sesame Street, and I got them hooked on Star Trek. Even as a teenager, though, I absolutely loved Sesame Street—Kermit the Frog, Big Bird, and Oscar the Grouch, the guy who lived in the trash can. I’ve been a huge fan of everything from the Jim Henson Creature Shop ever since.

​I’ve adored all of their science fiction work, like Farscape, which is one of my all-time favorites. I also absolutely adored The Dark Crystal and was a big fan of the Willow movies. I was really upset when the idiots in charge canceled the newest Willow series on Disney+.

​And, of course, I have to mention The Happytime Murders—that movie about the puppet private investigator! It was done by the same incredible team, and I thought it was one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. I won’t spoil it for anyone who hasn’t watched it, but there are scenes in that film that will have you bawling with laughter. Take my advice: do not drink any soda or alcohol during those parts, or you’ll have a very painful experience with that liquid coming out of your nose!

​Knowing that the team responsible for that kind of magic is bringing puppets to Star Trek, which was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con, has me thrilled. How about the rest of you?

Keep the Faith, Trekkies: Our Trek Future is Not Dead!

​I’ve been seeing a lot of chatter lately about the "silence" surrounding new Star Trek series, and I wanted to share a quick word of encouragement with everyone. It’s easy to look at the current state of things and feel concerned, but I want us all to remember that "not currently in production" does not mean "dead."

​Right now, we are in a period of transition. Paramount is navigating a major corporate shift following the merger with Skydance. It’s a complex time, and for the first time in nearly a decade, there is a temporary lull in new Star Trek series production as the new leadership evaluates their strategy.

​But remember: some of the best television history was born from patience and persistence. Take Babylon 5, for example—it was pitched for over a decade before it finally found its home. A great idea doesn’t just disappear because it isn't picked up on the first try.

​We have so much to be excited about:

​The Vision for United: Scott Bakula has been clear that he would love to return as Captain Archer, and he’s been working with writer Mike Sussman to keep that dream alive with some fantastic story concepts. Even if it’s currently an undeveloped pitch, the passion behind it is real and powerful.

​The Cast is Ready: It’s not just the fans who want this—the actors who brought these characters to life are just as invested. Many of the original cast members—including Jolene Blalock (T'Pol)—have shown an enduring connection to their roles and the Star Trek universe, and she has made it very clear that she is interested in returning.

​Leadership Who Cares: We have new leadership under David Ellison, who has proven to be a true fan of the franchise.

​We have to keep our chins up and keep that positive energy flowing. Rod Roddenberry’s vision is resilient, and our community’s passion is the strongest signal we can send to the studio. Keep sharing your theories and your support—we are going to be very happy with the outcome
