Paramount has released a preview for the third season of strange new worlds In the San Diego Community, where the Enterprise crew were transformed into Vulcans for a mission overseas, the results were disastrous.

Alonso Meyers says the cast will be breaking new ground next season. As fans have pointed out on social media, not every creative choice the show made last year worked. Regardless, it seems the producers are determined not to play it safe. “There are a lot of other genres of shows that you haven’t seen before that will surprise you,” he said. Goldsman explained that there are even more genres to explore next season:

“We have a bunch of ideas about what genres Star Trek could embrace. And we keep trying to push those boundaries. We’re trying, dare I say it, to go where we haven’t gone before when it comes to genres. Aside from the tried-and-true adventures, which are some science fiction and we certainly try to remember the rhythm of the show at least on a regular basis, there has to be a moral to the story. We’re spreading our wings, and we hope you like it.”

The Gorn Return to Star Trel: Strange New Worlds Season 3

Season 2 ended on a high note, with the Enterprise crew facing off against the Gorn, who are more sinister than the “man in a suit” treatment we saw in the original series.

The power of the ensemble is evident in the Season 3 preview trailer. The Enterprise crew's transformation into Vulcans doesn't resonate without each character having a distinct personality to play off of. For that reason, the trailer has since received a positive response from fans, who have praised Peck's hilarious performance.

For Beck himself, this episode ironically brought up some unexpected emotions for him.

“I was kind of shocked when I saw everyone in Vulcan form, because I know them so well, having worked with them for so many seasons,” he said. “So to see them in Vulcan form was just so endearing. I had this weird, sudden feeling of, ‘This is family,’ because I’ve been kind of isolated as a Vulcan on the show most of the time.”
