IGN's video: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Series Premiere Review

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds debuts on Paramount+ on May 5, 2022. Review by Scott Collura. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' premiere takes a classic approach to the franchise, not just in terms of its setting or characters, but also in its storytelling. Standalone tales are the mission statement, presumably on strange new worlds where, you know, new life and new civilizations can be found. But the characters' ongoing arcs will be the thread that holds the season together, with the already established (and terrific) Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, and Rebecca Romijn leading a group of promising new faces. Funny, inspiring, and kind of amazing, Strange New Worlds is, so far, the best new Trek in years.
