Ahead of Strange New Worlds ’ season three premiere, Paramount Plus has dropped a new trailer teasing how the USS Enterprise ’s crew are going to find themselves trapped in some kind of anomaly that transforms them into the stars of a kitschy sci-fi program meant to “give audiences a reflection of their own world through the lens of fantasy.”

"Strange New Worlds" has certainly done gimmicks before — take Season 2’s fantasy chapter, "The Elysian Kingdom," for example. Or the Season 1 animated crossover with " Lower Decks " called "Those Old Scientists," or Season 2's singing and dancing extravaganza titled "Subspace Rhapsody."
