‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Sets Musical Episode: Crew Sings & Dances in Trailer (VIDEO)

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is easily one of the most entertaining shows on TV, and Season 2 is your proof. First, there’s the Lower Decks crossover (which will — surprise! — drop early on Paramount+ on July 22 at 7/6c). And now, there’s another special episode part of Season 2.

As announced as part of Paramount+’s presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, the ninth episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 will be a musical one! (It’s the first ever in Star Trek franchise history.) Titled “Subspace Rhapsody” (how much do you love that?!), it will drop on August 3. (That means the finale will be available to stream on August 10.)

Watch the event that gets it all started, as well as the singing, dancing, and romances(!) in the trailer for the musical episode below.
