Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
It’s rare to see a highly demanded show match expectations, but Strange New Worlds didn’t just deliver on the Captain Pike/Young Spock/Number One spinoff fans have been craving since Discovery’s second season—its debut mix of modern visuals and drama with riffs on classic episodic Star Trek tropes led to arguably the strongest first season of any show in the Trek franchise, ever. A great crew lead by effortlessly charming leads, it was a joy to check in on what the Enterprise team was up to each week, a perfect balance of nostalgia and newness that has cemented the series as a crown jewel in Paramount’s plans for a Star Trek streaming empire.
