Paramount Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is returning for its fourth and penultimate season on July 23 and we have a new trailer to prove it. The footage should please fans of Star Trek: The Original Series and its follow-up movies, as there looks to be plenty of connectiions.
For instance, there's a scene of Spock and Kirk further cementing their friendship. There also looks to be a scene in which Scotty and Uhura kiss, which is a callback (or call forward) to Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Incidentally, Uhura is rocking her 1960s hair in this scene, a first for the character in Strange New Worlds.
The showrunners promise a slightly more serious season than the last batch of episodes, which were hit or miss. However, the trailer does show the crew exploring some kind of medieval-type planet and there will be a puppet episode, so it won't be entirely joyless.
