The famous musical episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds could become a real stage musical | SDCC 2024

Fans of the infamous musical episode “Subspace Rhapsody” from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds have something to look forward to soon. Today at San Diego Comic-Con, executive producer Akiva Goldsman announced that they are in the early stages of exploring a stage adaptation of the episode.

In an interview with IGN, also at SDCC, we asked executive producer Henry Alonso Myers if we might see another musical episode in a future season. Myers didn't have a definite answer for us, but it at least sounds like we won't see an episode with that many songs anywhere in Season 3.

“I can't promise we won't come back to it at some point, but we'll wait a little while before we come back to it,” he said. “When you come back for a second episode of something, you really want to make it special and different and bigger and crazier, and we are special and different and bigger and crazier in our next season in a lot of ways, so that's pretty much most of what I want to say.”

Strange New Worlds is a Star Trek series from Paramount+ that follows Captain Pike and the crew of the Enterprise a decade before the events of Star Trek: The Original Series. It is a sequel to Star Trek: Discovery, with Anson Mount, Ethan Peck and Rebecca Romijin reprising their roles as Pike, Spock and Number One. The second season ended last August and a third season is in the works, with a new clip premiering at SDCC. Subspace Rhapsody was part of that second season, serving as a playful, silly interlude amidst the season's drama.
