One other thing that will catch viewers’ attention right away: The holodeck is back! It had been stated before, that Starfleet ships in the 23rd century didn’t have holodecks, but suddenly here is one — that grid pattern is unmistakable — and the crew seems to be using it to solve a whodunnit, Christie-style.

"Strange New Worlds" has certainly done gimmicks before — take Season 2’s fantasy chapter, "The Elysian Kingdom," for example. Or the Season 1 animated crossover with " Lower Decks " called "Those Old Scientists," or Season 2's singing and dancing extravaganza titled "Subspace Rhapsody."

The long-awaited third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will premiere this summer. Paramount+ shared the official teaser trailer for the upcoming season, highlighting the new adventures for the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
