Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Main Cast Revealed In Stunning Season 3 Posters

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds reveals the main cast of season 3 in five stunning new posters. After a two-year wait, the highly anticipated Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 premieres July 17 on Paramount+ following its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 14. Strange New Worlds season 3 continues the genre-bending voyages of the Starship Enterprise commanded by Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount)

The official Star Trek Instagram and Paramount+ unveiled eye-popping new posters of the cast of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (photos by Sarah Coulter), paired up after beaming onto the series' namesake 'strange new worlds.' Paired up together are Captain Pike and Number One (Rebecca Romijn), Scotty (Martin Quinn) and Commander Pelia (Carol Kane), Dr. Joseph M'Benga (Babs Olusanmokun) and Lt. La'an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong), Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush) and Lt. Spock (Ethan Peck), and Ensign Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) and Lt. Erica Ortegas (Melissa Navia). 

What Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3's Cast Posters Mean

Who's Who On The Starship Enterprise In Strange New Worlds Season 3

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 is bringing back the beloved crew of the Starship Enterprise with a new addition: Martin Quinn is a series regular as Lt. Montgomery Scott, AKA Scotty, and joins Carol Kane's Commander Pelia in Engineering. In Scotty and Pelia's poster, their PADD has been grabbed by zombies, which is a possible hint of a Strange New Worlds season 3 episode plot. The command duo of Captain Pike and Lt. Commander Una Chin-Riley is a natural pairing, as are best friends Ortegas and Uhura (with longer hair, indicating a time jump in Strange New Worlds season 3).

Perhaps the most compelling poster is Nurse Chapel and Spock because Christine has a tear running down her cheek. Does this hint at a heartbreak in the love triangle between Spock, Chapel, and Dr. Roger Korby (Cillian O'Sullivan)? Meanwhile, Dr. M'enga and La'an are paired up in a futuristic city setting. L'aan and M'Benga are both veterans of Star Trek: Discovery's Klingon War and had a memorable mission on Rigel VII in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, so maybe they are a team once again in season 3.

Our Take On Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3's Cast Posters

Season 3's Cast Is Even Bigger

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3's key art is on another level, with these stunning posters evoking the 1960s-style feeling of new frontier strangeness, one of the most fun aspects of classic Star Trek. Strange New Worlds season 3 promises "adventure, mystery, and romance," all of which is conveyed by the key art, getting fans even more amped up to finally see Strange New Worlds season 3's new episodes starting July 17 on Paramount+.

Of course, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3's cast is even bigger than the 10 principal characters on the posters. Paul Wesley returns as Lt. James T. Kirk, billed as a Special Guest Star, and so does Dan Jeannotte as Jim's brother, Lt. Sam Kirk. Melanie Scorfano is also back as Captain Marie Batel, and Adrian Holmes is back as Admiral Robert April. Along with Cillian O'Sullivan as Dr. Roger Korby, Patton Oswalt will guest star as a Vulcan, and Rhys Darby appears in a mystery role. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 can't arrive soon enough.
