The release date for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 is set to continue the story of the USS Enterprise under the command of Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), taking place a decade before Star Trek: The Original Series. Season 3 was previously confirmed to be coming in 2025, offering 10 new adventures for the team as they continue their traversal across space.

Now, Paramount has revealed that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 will premiere its first two episodes on Thursday, July 17 on Paramount+. The series will continue to release episodes weekly, airing the season finale on Thursday, September 11. In addition to this announcement, they also released a poster featuring the crew of the Enterprise walking across an alien biome, their starship looming in the sky. Check out the full poster below:

What Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Release Means For The Show

New Episodes Are Coming Soon

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 ended on a major cliffhanger, with Pike having to decide whether to rescue his crew from the Gorn, or follow his orders and retreat. Either decision could put them in danger. Although it seems what, whatever he chooses, it will lead to them having more adventures across various planets and encounters in the episodes. While it's unclear what the long-standing repercussions of the attack are going to be, season 3 will explore both the outcome of his decision, and what happens next.

Season 3 won't be the end for the sci-fi spinoff either, with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4 currently in production. The release date for the newest season coincides with the late spring and early summer releases of the previous two episode batches. However, it's also the longest gap between season premieres at a little over two years, making the return all the more important for the series to stick the landing on. Luckily, it's already built plenty of intrigue for how the new episodes and their premises are going to play out.
