Paramount+ unveiled a sneak peek of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ fourth season at San Diego Comic-Con, shortly after the season premiered on 23 July. The preview signals an unusually varied run of episodes, with the USS Enterprise crew facing both personal struggles and external dangers across several genre-inspired settings.

The season’s episodes will be released weekly on Thursdays until 24 September. It will include western, horror, disaster-film and puppet-themed stories, while continuing relationship arcs involving La’an and Spock, Pike after Batel, and Scotty and Ortegas; the main cast is led by Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn and Ethan Peck.
